Let H and K be quasiconvex subgroups of a negatively curved torsion-free group G. We give an algorithm which decides whether an element of H is conjugated in G to an element of K.

We introduce a concept of the commuting probability of a skew left brace analogous to group theory. We establish upper and lower bounds for the commuting probability and prove that, for finite non-trivial skew left braces, it is always at…

A conjecture due to Zassenhaus asserts that if $\ G$ is a finite group then any torsion unit in $\mathbb{Z}G$ is conjugate in $\mathbb{Q}G$ to an element of $\ G$. We present a weaker form of this conjecture for some infinite groups.

There are many deep results on the structure of REGULAR probability measures $P(G)$ on compact/locally compact, Hausdorff topological groups G. See, for instance, the classic monographs by KR Parthasarathy, Ulf Grenander, A.Mukherjea and…

Given a discrete quantum group $H$ with a finite normal quantum subgroup $G$, we show that any positive, possibly unbounded, harmonic function on $H$ with respect to an irreducible invariant random walk is $G$-invariant. This implies that,…

A non-trivial element of a group is a generalized torsion element if some products of its conjugates is the identity. The minimum number of such conjugates is called a generalized torsion order. We provide several restrictions for…

We establish an operator-theoretic uncertainty principle over arbitrary compact groups, generalizing several previous results. As a consequence, we show that if f is in L^2(G), then the product of the measures of the supports of f and its…

Let $KG$ be the group ring of a group $G$ over a commutative ring $K$ with unity. The rings $KG$ are described for which $xx^\sigma=x^\sigma x$ for all $x=\sum_{g\in G}\alpha_gg\in KG$, where \quad $x\mapsto x^\sigma=~\sum_{g\in…

We say that an element $g$ of a group $G$ is almost right Engel if there is a finite set ${\mathscr R}(g)$ such that for every $x\in G$ all sufficiently long commutators $[...[[g,x],x],\dots ,x]$ belong to ${\mathscr R}(g)$, that is, for…

A nontrivial element in a group is a generalized torsion element if some nonempty finite product of its conjugates is the identity. We prove that any generalized torsion element in a free product of torsion-free groups is conjugate to a…

Let $G$ be a group and $g$ a non-trivial element in $G$. If some non-empty finite product of conjugates of $g$ equals to the trivial element, then $g$ is called a generalized torsion element. To the best of our knowledge, we have no…

The commuting graph of a group $G$ is the graph whose vertices are the elements of $G$, two distinct vertices joined if they commute. Our purpose in this paper is twofold: we discuss the computational problem of deciding whether a given…

Let $G$ be a complex connected reductive algebraic group and $G/B$ denote the flag variety of $G$. A $G$-homogeneous space $G/H$ is said to be {\it spherical} if $H$ acts on $G/B$ with finitely many orbits. A class of spherical homogeneous…

Let G be the set of k-points of a connected semisimple algebraic group of k-rank one over a nonarchimedean local field k. We describe all finitely generated torsion-free discrete subgroups of G\times G acting properly discontinuously and…

Let $G$ be a connected semisimple real Lie group with finite center, and $\mu$ a probability measure on $G$ whose support generates a Zariski-dense subgroup of $G$. We consider the right $\mu$-random walk on $G$ and show that each random…

The rank rk(G) of a profinite group G is the supremum of d(H), where H ranges over all closed subgroups of G and d(H) denotes the minimal cardinality of a topological generating set for H. A compact topological group G admits the structure…

For G a finite non-Abelian group we write c(G) for the probability that two randomly chosen elements commute and k(G) for the largest integer such that any k(G)-colouring of G is guaranteed to contain a monochromatic quadruple (x,y,xy,yx)…

Let $G$ be a group. The orbits of the natural action of Aut$(G)$ on $G$ are called ``automorphism orbits'' of $G$, and the number of automorphism orbits of $G$ is denoted by $\omega(G)$. We prove that if $G$ is a soluble group with finite…

We consider the random Cayley graphs of a sequence of finite nilpotent groups of diverging sizes $G=G(n)$, whose ranks and nilpotency classes are uniformly bounded. For some $k=k(n)$ such that $1\ll\log k \ll \log |G|$, we pick a random set…

We extend some properties of random walks on hyperbolic groups to random walks on convergence groups. In particular we prove that if a convergence group $G$ acts on a compact metrizable space $M$ with the convergence property then we can…
