Famous Zaremba's conjecture (1971) states that for each positive integer $q\geq2$, there exists positive integer $1\leq a <q$, coprime to $q$, such that if you expand a fraction $a/q$ into a continued fraction $a/q=[a_1,\ldots,a_n]$, all of…

We establish an equidistribution result for push-forwards of certain locally finite algebraic measures in the adelic extension of the space of lattices in the plane. As an application of our analysis we obtain new results regarding the…

We examine several notions of randomness for elements in a given $\Pi^0_1$ class $\mathcal{P}$. Such an effectively closed subset $\mathcal{P}$ of $2^\omega$ may be viewed as the set of infinite paths through the tree $T_{\mathcal{P}}$ of…

Computation of the probability that a random graph is connected is a challenging problem, so it is natural to turn to approximations such as Monte Carlo methods. We describe sequential importance resampling and splitting algorithms for the…

There has been considerable interest in recent decades in questions of random generation of finite and profinite groups, and finite simple groups in particular. In this paper we study similar notions for finite and profinite associative…

It is well known that the proportion of pairs of elements of $\operatorname{SL}(n,q)$ which generate the group tends to $1$ as $q^n\to \infty$. This was proved by Kantor and Lubotzky using the classification of finite simple groups. We give…

The notion of a k-automatic set of integers is well-studied. We develop a new notion - the k-automatic set of rational numbers - and prove basic properties of these sets, including closure properties and decidability.

Let $k$ be any positive integer and $G$ a compact (Hausdorff) group. Let $\mf{np}_k(G)$ denote the probability that $k+1$ randomly chosen elements $x_1,\dots,x_{k+1}$ satisfy $[x_1,x_2,\dots,x_{k+1}]=1$. We study the following problem: If…

Let $b \geq 2$ be an integer and $S$ be a finite non-empty set of primes not containing divisors of $b$. For any non-dense set $A \subset [0,1)$ such that $A \cap \mathbb{Q}$ is invariant under $\times b$ operation, we prove the finiteness…

The multiplicative theory of a set of numbers (which could be natural, integer, rational, real or complex numbers) is the first-order theory of the structure of that set with (solely) the multiplication operation (that set is taken to be…

Let $q \in (0,1)$ and $\delta \in (0,1)$ be real numbers, and let $C$ be a coin that comes up heads with an unknown probability $p$, such that $p \neq q$. We present an algorithm that, on input $C$, $q$, and $\delta$, decides, with…

The ratio set of a set of positive integers $A$ is defined as $R(A) := \{a / b : a, b \in A\}$. The study of the denseness of $R(A)$ in the set of positive real numbers is a classical topic and, more recently, the denseness in the set of…

We show that with high probability the random graph $G_{n, 1/2}$ has an induced subgraph of linear size, all of whose degrees are congruent to $r\pmod q$ for any fixed $r$ and $q\geq 2$. More generally, the same is true for any fixed…

The ability to calculate precise likelihood ratios is fundamental to many STEM areas, such as decision-making theory, biomedical science, and engineering. However, there is no assumption-free statistical methodology to achieve this. For…

For arbitrary positive integers $q_1 \ge q_2 \ge q_3 \ge \cdots$ we construct a family of monomial ideals such that for each positive integer $e$ and for each ideal $I$ in the family, the number of associated primes of $I^e$ is the $q_e$.…

Random planar graphs have been the subject of much recent work. Many basic properties of the standard uniform random planar graph P_{n}, by which we mean a graph chosen uniformly at random from the set of all planar graphs with vertex set…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ with $V=\{1,2,...,k\}$, the $k$ positive integers $a_1,a_2, ...,a_k$ are $G$-wise relatively prime if $(a_i, a_j)=1$ for $\{i,j\} \in E$. In this note we consider the problem of finding the probability $A_G$ that k…

We study $q$-deformation of probability measures on partitions, i.e., $q$-deformed random partitions. We in particular consider the $q$-Plancherel measure and show a determinantal formula for the correlation function using a $q$-deformation…

The q-rational numbers and the q-irrational numbers are introduced by S. Morier-Genoud and V. Ovsienko. In this paper, we focus on q-real quadratic irrational numbers, especially q-metallic numbers and q-rational sequences which converge to…

We say that n ideals of algebraic integers in a fixed number ring are k-wise relatively r-prime if any k of them are relatively r-prime. In this article, we provide an exact formula for the probability that n nonzero ideals of algebraic…
