We study sum-free sets in sparse random subsets of even order abelian groups. In particular, we determine the sharp threshold for the following property: the largest such set is contained in some maximum-size sum-free subset of the group.…

We give an overview of the Hidden Subgroup Problem (HSP) as of July 2010, including new results discovered since the survey of arXiv:quant-ph/0411037v1. We recall how the problem provides a framework for efficient quantum algorithms and…

Let $G$ be an infinite simple group of finite Morley rank and $\alpha$ a supertight automorphism of $G$ so that the fixed point subgroup $P_n:=C_G(\alpha^n)$ is pseudofinite for all $n\in \mathbb{N}\setminus\{0\}$. It is know (using CFSG)…

We study generative compressed sensing when the measurement matrix is randomly subsampled from a unitary matrix (with the DFT as an important special case). It was recently shown that $\textit{O}(kdn\| \boldsymbol{\alpha}\|_{\infty}^{2})$…

For a fixed prime power $q$ and natural number $d$ we consider a random polynomial $$f=x^n+a_{n-1}(t)x^{n-1}+\ldots+a_1(t)x+a_0(t)\in\mathbb F_q[t][x]$$ with $a_i$ drawn uniformly and independently at random from the set of all polynomials…

Recently Bacon, Childs and van Dam showed that the ``pretty good measurement'' (PGM) is optimal for the Hidden Subgroup Problem on the dihedral group D_n in the case where the hidden subgroup is chosen uniformly from the n involutions. We…

A geometrically uniform (GU) ensemble is a uniformly weighted quantum state ensemble generated from a fixed state by a unitary representation of a finite group $G$. In this work we analyze the problem of discriminating GU ensembles from…

In 1968, John Thompson proved that a finite group G is solvable if and only if every 2-generator subgroup of G is solvable. In this paper, we prove that solvability of a finite group G is guaranteed by a seemingly weaker condition: G is…

For any finite group $G$, any transitive $G$-set $X$ and any field ${\Bbb F}$, we consider the vector space ${\Bbb F}^X$ of all functions from $X$ to ${\Bbb F}$, which is a $G$-space isomorphic to the permutation ${\Bbb F} G$-module ${\Bbb…

We disprove a strong form of the Regular Inverse Galois Problem: there exist finite groups $G$ which do not have a realization $F/\Qq(T)$ that induces all Galois extensions $L/\Qq(U)$ of group $G$ by specializing $T$ to $f(U) \in \Qq(U)$.…

We present the view of quantum algorithms as a search-theoretic problem. We show that the Fourier transform, used to solve the Abelian hidden subgroup problem, is an example of an efficient elimination observable which eliminates a constant…

R-symmetry gauged 6D (1,0) supergravities free from all local anomalies, with gauge groups $G\times G_R$ where $G_R$ is the R-symmetry group and $G$ is semisimple with rank greater than one, and which have no hypermultiplet singlets, are…

We propose a method for solving the hidden subgroup problem in nilpotent groups. The main idea is iteratively transforming the hidden subgroup to its images in the quotient groups by the members of a central series, eventually to its image…

We present an explicit measurement in the Fourier basis that solves an important case of the Hidden Subgroup Problem, including the case to which Graph Isomorphism reduces. This entangled measurement uses $k=\log_2 |G|$ registers, and each…

Let $\mathfrak{F}_n$ be the set of unitary cuspidal automorphic representations of $\mathrm{GL}_n$ over a number field $F$, and let $S\subseteq\mathfrak{F}_n$ be an arbitrary finite subset. Given $\pi_0\in\mathfrak{F}_{n_0}$, we establish…

Bouc proposed the following conjecture: a finite group $G$ is nilpotent if and only if its largest quotient $B$-group $\beta(G)$ is nilpotent. And he has prove that this conjecture holds when $G$ is solvable. In this paper, we consider the…

We show that a finitely generated soluble group is virtually nilpotent if and only if the diameter of its finite coset spaces admits a uniform polynomial lower bound in terms of their size. We obtain the same conclusion for certain finitely…

A direct consequence of the occurrence of fermion families is the invariance of currents under certain groups of (universality) transformations. We show how these universality groups can themselves be used to find and study grand family…

Schur duality decomposes many copies of a quantum state into subspaces labeled by partitions, a decomposition with applications throughout quantum information theory. Here we consider applying Schur duality to the problem of distinguishing…

We characterize the structure of maximum-size sum-free subsets of a random subset of an Abelian group $G$. In particular, we determine the threshold $p_c \approx \sqrt{\log n / n}$ above which, with high probability as $|G| \to \infty$,…
