Let $F[X]$ be the polynomial ring over a finite field $F$. It is shown that, for $n\geq 3$, the special linear group $SL_n(F[X])$ is boundedly generated by the elementary matrices.

This paper shows that the group ${\rm SL}_n(R)$ is boundedly elementary generated for $n\geq 3$ and $R$ the ring of algebraic integers in a global function field. Contrary to previous statements for number fields and earlier statements for…

Let O be the ring of S-integers in a number field k. We prove that if the group of units O^* is infinite then every matrix in $\Gamma$ = SL_2(O) is a product of at most 9 elementary matrices. This completes a long line of research in this…

We present unpublished work of D.Carter, G.Keller, and E.Paige on bounded generation in special linear groups. Let n be a positive integer, and let A = O be the ring of integers of an algebraic number field K (or, more generally, let A be a…

We prove that for a number field $F$, the distribution of the points of a set $\Sigma \subset \mathbb{A}_F^n$ with a purely exponential parametrization, for example a set of matrices boundedly generated by semi-simple (diagonalizable)…

We complete the classification of the finite special linear groups $\SL_n(q)$ which are $(2,3)$-generated, i.e., which are generated by an involution and an element of order $3$. This also gives the classification of the finite simple…

We prove that for any countably many one-parameter diagonalizable subgroups $F_n$ of $\rm{SL}_3(\mathbb{R})$, the set of $\Lambda\in\rm{SL}_3(\mathbb{R})/\rm{SL}_3(\mathbb{Z})$ such that all the orbits $F_n\Lambda$ are bounded has full…

Given a Legendrian knot $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ and a vertical line dividing the front projection of $\Lambda$ into two halves, we construct a differential graded algebra associated to each half-knot. We then show that one may obtain…

We prove that the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}_n(\textbf{F}_q)$ of traceless matrices over a finite field of characteristic $p$ can be generated by $2$ elements with exceptions when $(n, p)$ is $(3, 3)$ or $(4,2)$. In the latter cases, we…

Linear upper bounds may be derived by imposing specific structural conditions on a generating set, such as additional constraints on ranks, eigenvalues, or the degree of the minimal polynomial of the generating matrices. This paper…

We consider three families of groups: the Bianchi groups SL(2,O) where O is the ring of integers of an imaginary, quadratic field; the groups SL*(2,O) where O is a *-order of a definite, rational quaternion algebra with an orthogonal…

Let $k = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{\alpha})$ be a real quadratic number field, where $\alpha$ is a positive square-free integer. Let $\mathcal{O}_k$ be the ring of integers of $k$. In this paper, we prove that a certain set of $2 \times 2$ singular…

The least upper bound on degrees of elements of a minimal system of generators of the algebra of invariants of 3x3 matrices is found, and the nilpotency degree of a relatively free finitely generated algebra with the identity x^3=0 is…

We study bounded and unbounded representations of the $*$-algebra $Q_{n,\lambda}(*)$ generated by $n$ idempotents whose sum equals $\lambda e$ ($\lambda\in{\mathbb C}$, $e$ is the identity).

The trace algebra C_{nd} is generated by all traces of products of d generic n x n matrices. Minimal generating sets of C_{nd} and their defining relations are known for n < 3 and n = 3, d=2. This paper states a minimal generating set and…

We consider orientation-preserving actions of finite groups $G$ on pairs $(S^3, \Sigma)$, where $\Sigma$ denotes a compact connected surface embedded in $S^3$. In a previous paper, we considered the case of closed, necessarily orientable…

We prove that Chevalley groups over polynomial rings $\mathbb F_q[t]$ and over Laurent polynomial $\mathbb F_q[t,t^{-1}]$ rings, where $\mathbb F_q$ is a finite field, are boundedly elementarily generated. Using this we produce explicit…

The Zariski closure of the boundary of the set of matrices of nonnegative rank at most 3 is reducible. We give a minimal generating set for the ideal of each irreducible component. In fact, this generating set is a Grobner basis with…

The derived category of a Gorenstein triangular matrix algebra $A$ admits an unbounded ladder, which is of period $3$ if $A = T_2(B)$. Also, a left recollement of triangulated categories with Serre functors sits in a ladder of period $1$;…
