In this paper, we give a Gr\"obner-Shirshov basis for the finitely presented semigroup algebra $\mathbf{k}[S_n(Sym_n)]$ defined by permutation relations of symmetric type. As an application, by the Composition-Diamond Lemma, we obtain…

The classical Erd\H{o}s--Ko--Rado (EKR) theorem characterizes the maximum size of intersecting families of $r$-element subsets of an $n$-element set. We study EKR-type questions for independent $r$-sets in \emph{pendant} graph…

Let $G$ be an irreducible imprimitive subgroup of $\operatorname{GL}_n(\mathbb{F})$, where $\mathbb{F}$ is a field. Any system of imprimitivity for $G$ can be refined to a nonrefinable system of imprimitivity, and we consider the question…

The work of Vershik and Kerov [1977], Logan and Shepp [1977] established that the shape of the scaled random young diagram in Russian notation, as determined by the Plancherel measure, converges to a deterministic shape. In this article, we…

Let $C_n^k$ be the $k$-th power of a cycle on $n$ vertices (i.e. the vertices of $C_n^k$ are those of the $n$-cycle, and two vertices are connected by an edge if their distance along the cycle is at most $k$). For each vertex draw uniformly…

Let $G$ be a finite connected graph and let $G^{[\star N,k]}$ be the distance $k$-graph of the $N$-fold star power of $G$. For a fixed $k\geq1$, we show that the large $N$ limit of the spectral distribution of $G^{[\star N,k]}$ converges to…

We compute the limiting distribution, as n approaches infinity, of the number of cycles of length between gamma n and delta n in a permutation of [n] chosen uniformly at random, for constants gamma, delta such that 1/(k+1) <= gamma < delta…

We prove that every odd-order group is symmetric harmonious: there exists a permutation $g_0,g_1,\ldots, g_{\ell-1}$ of elements of $G$ such that the consecutive products $g_0g_1,g_1g_2,\ldots, g_{\ell-1}g_0$ also form a permutation of…

Let $G(n,m)$ be the random graph on $n$ vertices with $m$ edges. Let $d=2m/n$ be its average degree. We prove that $G(n,m)$ fails to be $k$-colorable with high probability if $d>2k\ln k-\ln k-1+o_k(1)$. This matches a conjecture put forward…

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…

Kerov, Olshanski and Vershik introduced the so-called virtual permutations, defined as families of permutations $(\sigma_N)_{N \geq 1}$, $\sigma_N$ in the symmetric group of order $N$, such that the cycle structure of $\sigma_N$ can be…

We study asymptotics of reducible representations of the symmetric groups S_q for large q. We decompose such a representation as a sum of irreducible components (or, alternatively, Young diagrams) and we ask what is the character of a…

Let $i(\infty,k)$ be the limiting proportion, as $n \rightarrow \infty$, of permutations in the symmetric group of degree $n$ that fix a $k$-set. We give an algorithm for computing $i(\infty,k)$ and state the values of $i(\infty,k)$ for $k…

The main result of this paper is the following: for all $b \in \mathbb Z$ there exists $k=k(b)$ such that \[ \max \{ |A^{(k)}|, |(A+u)^{(k)}| \} \geq |A|^b, \] for any finite $A \subset \mathbb Q$ and any non-zero $u \in \mathbb Q$. Here,…

Let $r$ be a positive integer and let $G_n$ be the reflection group of $n \times n$ monomial matrices whose entries are $r^{th}$ complex roots of unity and let $k \leq n$. We define and study two new graded quotients $R_{n,k}$ and $S_{n,k}$…

In this text, we consider random permutations which can be written as free words in several independent random permutations: firstly, we fix a non trivial word $w$ in letters $g_1,g_1^{-1},..., g_k,g_k^{-1}$, secondly, for all $n$, we…

Consider the generalized iterated wreath product $\mathbb{Z}_{r_1}\wr \mathbb{Z}_{r_2}\wr \ldots \wr \mathbb{Z}_{r_k}$ where $r_i \in \mathbb{N}$. We prove that the irreducible representations for this class of groups are indexed by a…

The Farrell-Jones Fibered Isomorphism Conjecture for the stable topological pseudoisotopy theory has been proved for several classes of groups. For example for discrete subgroups of Lie groups, virtually poly-infinite cyclic groups, Artin…

We consider some coloring issues related to the famous Erd\H {o}s Discrepancy Problem. A set of the form $A_{s,k}=\{s,2s,\dots,ks\}$, with $s,k\in \mathbb{N}$, is called a \emph{homogeneous arithmetic progression}. We prove that for every…

Inspired by the definition of generalized wreath product of permutation groups, we define the generalized wreath product of graphs, containing the classical Cartesian and wreath product of graphs as particular cases. We prove that the…
