A set of quasi-uniform random variables $X_1,...,X_n$ may be generated from a finite group $G$ and $n$ of its subgroups, with the corresponding entropic vector depending on the subgroup structure of $G$. It is known that the set of entropic…

We establish distortion estimates in completely solvable Lie groups, using a sublinear bilipschitz retraction constructed by Cornulier, and interpolating between two theorems of Osin. This provides new lower bounds on Dehn functions. Our…

The general affine group $G_n$ sits at the intersection of harmonic analysis on solvable groups and the geometry of negatively curved symmetric spaces. In this work, we characterize the $L^p$-behavior of maximal operators associated with…

We show that for each positive integer $k$ there exist right-angled Artin groups containing free-by-cyclic subgroups whose monodromy automorphisms grow as $n^k$. As a consequence we produce examples of right-angled Artin groups containing…

For a finite abelian group $G$ with $\exp(G)=n$ and an integer $k\ge 2$, Balachandran and Mazumdar \cite{BM} introduced the extremal function $\fD_G(k)$ which is defined to be $\min\{|A|: \emptyset \neq A\subseteq[1,n-1]\textrm{\ with\…

We prove foundational results for homological Dehn functions of groups of type $FP_2$ such as superadditivity and the invariance under quasi-isometry. We then study the homological Dehn functions of Leary's groups $G_L(S)$ providing methods…

We generalize one part of Thurston's hyperbolic Dehn filling theorem to arbitrary-rank semisimple Lie groups by showing that certain deformations of extended geometrically finite subgroups of a semisimple Lie group are still extended…

Let $k \ge 2$ be a fixed integer. We define the multiplicative function $D_k(n) = d_k(n)/d_k^*(n)$, such that $d_k(n)$ is the Piltz divisor function and $d_k^*(n) = k^{\omega(n)}$ is its unitary analogue, where $\omega(n)$ is the number of…

We prove that groups in a certain class of metabelian locally compact groups, have quadratic Dehn function. As an application, we embed the solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups into finitely presented metabelian groups with quadratic Dehn…

For every natural number k we prove a decomposition theorem for bounded measurable functions on compact abelian groups into a structured part, a quasi random part and a small error term. In this theorem quasi randomness is measured with the…

Let A be an abelian surface over F_q, the field of q elements. The rational points on A/\F_q form an abelian group A(\F_q) \simeq \Z/n_1\Z \times \Z/n_1 n_2 \Z \times \Z/n_1 n_2 n_3\Z \times\Z/n_1 n_2 n_3 n_4\Z. We are interested in knowing…

In this paper we begin the systematic study of group equations with abelian predicates in the main classes of groups where solving equations is possible. We extend the line of work on word equations with length constraints, and more…

For a finite group $G$, we consider the zeta function $\zeta_G(s) = \sum_{H} \abs{H}^{-s}$, where $H$ runs over the subgroups of $G$. First we give simple examples of abelian $p$-group $G$ and non-abelian $p$-group $G'$ of order $p^m, \; m…

We investigate how the behavior of the function d_A(n) that gives the size of a least size generating set for A^n, influences the structure of a finite solvable algebra A.

This is the first of a sequence of papers devoted to studying the link between the complexity of the Word Problem for a finitely generated recursively presented group $G$ and the isoperimetric functions of the finitely presented groups in…

Motivated by some applications in applied mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics and engineering sciences, new tight Tur\'an type inequalities for modified Bessel functions of the first and second kind are deduced. These inequalities…

We study Dehn twists in the outer automorphism group of a finitely generated non-abelian free group. Our main result states that, under certain compatibility conditions, sufficiently large powers of finitely many Dehn twists generate a…

We introduce a \emph{spectral Dehn function} \[ \Lambda_{\mathcal{P}}(n):=\inf \lambda_1(\Delta), \] where $\lambda_1(\Delta)$ is the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the random-walk Laplacian on a van Kampen diagram $\Delta$, and the infimum…

Many research works have concerned normality-preserving selection rules and operations on the sequence of digits of a given normal number that maintain or violate normality. This leads us to introduce rearrangement operations on finite…

A group is known as `large' if some finite index subgroup admits a surjective homomorphism onto a non-abelian free group. The main theorem of the paper is as follows. Let G be a finitely generated, large group and let g_1,...,g_r be a…
