Given two subgroups $H,K$ of a finite group $G$, the probability that a pair of random elements from $H$ and $K$ commutes is denoted by $Pr(H,K)$. Suppose that a finite group $G$ admits a group of coprime automorphisms $A$ and let…

Consider a random permutation of $\{1, \ldots, \lfloor n^{t_2}\rfloor\}$ drawn according to the Ewens measure with parameter $t_1$ and let $K(n, t)$ denote the number of its cycles, where $t\equiv (t_1, t_2)\in\mathbb [0, 1]^2$. Next,…

If $H$ is a subgroup of a compact group $G$, the probability that a random element of $H$ commutes with a random element of $G$ is denoted by $Pr(H,G)$. Let $\langle g\rangle$ stand for the monothetic subgroup generated by an element $g\in…

If we treat the symmetric group $S_n$ as a probability measure space where each element has measure $1/n!$, then the number of cycles in a permutation becomes a random variable. The Cycle Length Lemma describes the expected values of…

Generating function equation has been derived for the probability distribution of the number of nodes with $k \ge 0$ outgoing lines in randomly evolving special trees. The stochastic properties of end-nodes (k=0) have been analyzed, and it…

We show that for a finite group $G$, the commuting probability of $G$ can be explicitly bounded from below in a nontrivial way by a function in the maximum fraction of elements inverted resp. squared by an automorphism of $G$. Using these…

We show that there is a non-empty class of finitely additive probabilities on $\mathbb N^2$ such that for each member of the class, each set with limiting relative frequency $p$ has probability $p$. Hence, in that context the probability…

We prove some general results about the asymptotics of the distribution of the number of cycles of given length of a random permutation whose distribution is invariant under conjugation. These results were first established to be applied in…

In this paper we introduce and study the concept of cyclic subgroup commutativity degree of a finite group $G$. This quantity measures the probability of two random cyclic subgroups of $G$ commuting. Explicit formulas are obtained for some…

We show that there exists a family of groups $G_n$ and nontrivial irreducible representations $\rho_n$ such that, for any constant $t$, the average of $\rho_n$ over $t$ uniformly random elements $g_1, \ldots, g_t \in G_n$ has operator norm…

A group $G$ is invariably generated if there exists a subset $S \subseteq G$ such that, for every choice $g_s \in G$ for $s \in S$, the group $G$ is generated by $\{ s^{g_s} \mid s \in S \}$. In [GGJ16] Gelander, Golan and Juschenko showed…
