A large family of words must contain two words that are similar. We investigate several problems where the measure of similarity is the length of a common subsequence. We construct a family of n^{1/3} permutations on n letters, such that…

We study words that barely avoid repetitions, for several senses of "barely". A squarefree (respectively, overlap-free, cubefree) word is irreducible if removing any one of its interior letters creates a square (respectively, overlap,…

A word $w$ is concise in a class of groups $\mathcal{C}$ if, for every group $G$ in $\mathcal{C}$, the verbal subgroup $w(G)$ is finite whenever $w$ takes only finitely many values in $G$. This notion can be naturally extended to…

The non-repetitive complexity $nr\mathcal{C}_{\bf u}$ and the initial non-repetitive complexity $inr\mathcal{C}_{\bf u}$ are functions which reflect the structure of the infinite word ${\bf u}$ with respect to the repetitions of factors of…

This note is an attempt to attack a conjecture of Fraenkel and Simpson stated in 1998 concerning the number of distinct squares in a finite word. By counting the number of (right-)special factors, we give an upper bound of the number of…

We consider two variants of those Abelian groups with all proper characteristic subgroups isomorphic and give an in-depth study of their basic and specific properties in either parallel or contrast to the Abelian groups with all proper…

Using Hecke characters, we construct two infinite families of newforms with complex multiplication, one by $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$ and the other by $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-2})$. The values of the $p$-th Fourier coefficients of all the forms in…

Let p be a fixed prime. An Abelian p-group is an Abelian group (not necessarily finitely generated) in which every element has for its order some power of p. The countable Abelian p-groups are classified by Ulm's theorem, and Khisamiev…

We consider Parikh images of languages accepted by non-deterministic finite automata and context-free grammars; in other words, we treat the languages in a commutative way --- we do not care about the order of letters in the accepted word,…

An abelian variety defined over an algebraically closed field k of positive characteristic is supersingular if it is isogenous to a product of supersingular elliptic curves and is superspecial if it is isomorphic to a product of…

The recently confirmed Dejean's conjecture about the threshold between avoidable and unavoidable powers of words gave rise to interesting and challenging problems on the structure and growth of threshold words. Over any finite alphabet with…

Continued fraction expansions provide a well-established bridge between algebraic properties of numbers and combinatorics on words. In this article, we investigate the algebraicity of $p$-adic numbers whose continued fractions arise from…

We characterize the clustering of a word under the Burrows-Wheeler transform in terms of the resolution of a bounded number of bispecial factors belonging to the language generated by all its powers. We use this criterion to compute, in…

In this article we introduce the notion of weak identities in a group and study their properties. We show that weak identities have some similar properties to ordinary ones. We use this notion to prove that any finitely generated solvable…

A generalized word in two positive definite matrices A and B is a finite product of nonzero real powers of A and B. Symmetric words in positive definite A and B are positive definite, and so for fxed B, we can view a symmetric word, S(A,B),…

In this paper, we give an equivalent condition for an abelian variety over a finite field to have multiplication by a quaternion algebra over a number field. We prove the result by combining Tate's classification of the endomorphism…

We consider partial words with a unique position starting a power. We show that over a $k$ letter alphabet, a partial word with a unique position starting a square can contain at most $k$ squares. This is in contrast to full words which can…

We will show that every element of a finitely generated abelian group is automorphically equivalent what we will define to be a {\em representative element} in a {\em repeat-free subgroup}, and for finite abelian groups we can count the…

Call a reduced word $w$ multiplicity-bounding if and only if a finite group on which the word map of $w$ has a fiber of positive proportion $\rho$ can only contain each nonabelian finite simple group $S$ as a composition factor with…

We construct an infinite binary word with critical exponent 3 that avoids abelian 4-powers. Our method gives an algorithm to determine if certain types of morphic sequences avoid additive powers. We also show that there are…
