This work establishes a new probabilistic bound on the number of elements to generate finite nilpotent groups. Let $\varphi_k(G)$ denote the probability that $k$ random elements generate a finite nilpotent group $G$. For any $0 < \epsilon <…

We study probability measure on $\mathrm{Hom}(H,G)$, where $G$ is a finite group and $H$ a finitely generated subgroup of a finitely generated free group $F$, obtained by pushing forward the uniform random homomorphisms $\mathrm{Hom}(F,G)$…

If w is a word in d>1 letters and G is a finite group, evaluation of w on a uniformly randomly chosen d-tuple in G gives a random variable with values in G, which may or may not be uniform. It is known that if G ranges over finite simple…

Let $G$ be a finite $2$-generated non-cyclic group. The spread of $G$ is the largest integer $k$ such that for any nontrivial elements $x_1, \ldots, x_k$, there exists $y \in G$ such that $G = \langle x_i, y\rangle$ for all $i$. The more…

This paper introduces and analyzes a particular class of Polya urns: balls are of two colors, can only be added (the urns are said to be additive) and at every step the same constant number of balls is added, thus only the color…

The probability that a randomly chosen element of a finite group is an $r$--th root (for any integer $r\geq2$) has been studied largely in case $r=2$. Certain techniques may be generalized for $r>2$ and here we find the exact value of this…

Urn models play an important role to express various basic ideas in probability theory. Here we extend this urn model with tubes. An urn contains coloured balls, which can be drawn with probabilities proportional to the numbers of balls of…

We show how to efficiently count and generate uniformly at random finitely generated subgroups of the modular group $\textsf{PSL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ of a given isomorphism type. The method to achieve these results relies on a natural map of…

A subset S of a group G invariably generates G if G = <s^(g(s)) | s in S> for each choice of g(s) in G, s in S. In this paper we study invariable generation of infinite groups, with emphasis on linear groups. Our main result shows that a…

Uninorms play a prominent role both in the theory and the applications of Aggregations and Fuzzy Logic. In this paper the class of group-like uninorms is introduced and characterized. First, two variants of a general construction -- called…

Given a finitely generated multiplicative subgroup of rational numbers $\Gamma$, assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we determine an asymptotic formula for average over prime numbers, powers of the order of the reduction group…

We study a P\'olya-type urn model defined as follows. Start at time 0 with a single ball of some colour. Then, at each time n>0, choose a ball from the urn uniformly at random. With probability 1/2<p<1, return the ball to the urn along with…

We give an example of a long range Bernoulli percolation process on a group non-quasi-isometric with $\mathbb{Z}$, in which clusters are almost surely finite for all values of the parameter. This random graph admits diverse equivalent…

This paper introduces and studies a notion of \emph{algorithmic randomness} for subgroups of rationals. Given a randomly generated additive subgroup $(G,+)$ of rationals, two main questions are addressed: first, what are the model-theoretic…

Given $n$ colored balls, we want to detect if more than $\lfloor n/2\rfloor$ of them have the same color, and if so find one ball with such majority color. We are only allowed to choose two balls and compare their colors, and the goal is to…
