Let $o(G)$ be the average order of a finite group $G$. We show that if $o(G)<c$, where $c\in \lbrace \frac{13}{6}, \frac{11}{4}\rbrace$, then $G$ is an elementary abelian 2-group or a solvable group, respectively. Also, we prove that the…

Let $q$ be a prime power and, for each positive integer $n\ge 1$, let $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ be the finite field with $q^n$ elements. Motivated by the well known concept of normal elements over finite fields, Huczynska et al (2013) introduced…

Given a nontrivial finite group $G$, we prove the first zero density estimate for families of Dedekind zeta functions associated to Galois extensions $K/\mathbb{Q}$ with $\mathrm{Gal}(K/\mathbb{Q})\cong G$ that does not rely on unproven…

We prove an explicit upper bound on the number of real quadratic fields that admit a universal quadratic form of a given rank, thus establishing a density zero statement. More generally, we obtain such a result for totally positive definite…

In this paper, we show that the natural density $\mathcal{D}[(U_m)]$ of Ulam numbers $(U_m)$ satisfies $\mathcal{D}[(U_m)]=0$. That is, we show that for $(U_m)\subset [1,k]$ \begin{align} \lim \limits_{k\longrightarrow \infty}\frac{\left…

Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathcal O$. After introducing a suitable notion of density for subsets of $\mathcal O$, generalizing that of natural density for subsets of $\mathbb Z$, we show that the density of the set…

We construct continuum many infinite, simple, characteristic quotients of non-abelian free groups, answering a 1978 question of James Wiegold. The method is very flexible, allowing to impose certain properties on the quotients, to…

We prove that product-free sets of the free group over a finite alphabet have maximum density $1/2$ with respect to the natural measure that assigns total weight one to each set of irreducible words of a given size. This confirms a…

These notes are devoted to lattices in products of trees and related topics. They provide an introduction to the construction, by M. Burger and S. Mozes, of examples of such lattices that are simple as abstract groups. Two features of that…

A finite group is said to have "perfect order classes" if the number of elements of any given order is either zero or a divisor of the order of the group. The purpose of this note is to describe explicitly the finite Hamiltonian groups with…

The problem of looking for subsets of the natural numbers which contain no 3-term arithmetic progressions has a rich history. Roth's theorem famously shows that any such subset cannot have positive upper density. In contrast, Rankin in 1960…

Define $\theta(x)=(x-1)/3$ if $x\geq 1$, and $\theta(x)=2x/(1-x)$ if $x<1$. We conjecture that the orbit of every positive rational number ends in 0. In particular, there does not exist any positive rational fixed point for a map in the…

Can quantum theory be seen as a special case of a more general probabilistic theory, similarly as classical theory is a special case of the quantum one? We study here the class of generalized probabilistic theories defined by the order of…

For a fixed rational number g, not equal to -1,0 or 1 and integers a and d we consider the set of primes p for which the order of g(mod p) is congruent to a(mod d). For d=4 and d=3 it is shown that, under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis,…

A numerical semigroup $S$ is a cofinite, additively-closed subset of the nonnegative integers that contains $0$. In this paper, we initiate the study of atomic density, an asymptotic measure of the proportion of irreducible elements in a…

This extends a theorem of Davenport and Erd\"os on sequences of rational integers to sequences of integral ideals in arbitrary number fields $K$. More precisely, we introduce a logarithmic density for sets of integral ideals in $K$ and…

We show that a well-known exact sequence in K-theory for quotients of triangulated categories descends to numerical K-groups provided that the category, the quotient and the category we take the quotient with has a numerical K-group, and if…

In this paper we focus on modules over a finite chain ring $\mathcal{R}$ of size $q^s$. We compute the density of free modules of $\mathcal{R}^n$, where we separately treat the asymptotics in $n,q$ and $s$. In particular, we focus on two…

We introduce a geometrically natural probability measure on the group of all M\"obius transformations of the circle. Our aim is to study "random" groups of M\"obius transformations, and in particular random two-generator groups. By this we…

The standard $(n, k, d)$ model of random groups is a model where the relators are chosen randomly from the set of cyclically reduced words of length $k$ on an $n$-element generating set. Gromov's density model of random groups considers the…
