The standard $(n, k, d)$ model of random groups is a model where the relators are chosen randomly from the set of cyclically reduced words of length $k$ on an $n$-element generating set. Gromov's density model of random groups considers the…

Motivated by the search for a counterexample to the Poincar\'e conjecture in three and four dimensions, the Andrews-Curtis conjecture was proposed in 1965. It is now generally suspected that the Andrews-Curtis conjecture is false, but small…

Every nonabelian finite simple group of rank $n$ over a field of size $q$, with the possible exception of the Ree groups $^2G_2(3^{2e+1})$, has a presentation with a bounded number of generators and relations and total length $O(\log n…

We pose a representation-theoretic question motivated by an attempt to resolve the Andrews-Curtis conjecture. Roughly, is there a triangular Hopf algebra with a collection of self-dual irreducible representations $V_i$ so that the product…

A group $G$ is said to be $\frac{3}{2}$-generated if every nontrivial element belongs to a generating pair. It is easy to see that if $G$ has this property then every proper quotient of $G$ is cyclic. In this paper we prove that the…

A group is coherent if all its finitely generated subgroups are finitely presented. In this article we provide a criterion for positively determining the coherence of a group. This criterion is based upon the notion of the perimeter of a…

The Serre conjecture II predicts that every torsor under a semisimple, simply connected, algebraic group over a field of cohomological dimension at most 2 and of degree of imperfection at most 1 has a rational point. We generalize this…

We give a conjectural presentation of the infinitely generated group PGL(2,Q) with an infinite list of relators.

The cyclically reduced product of two words is the cyclically reduced form of the concatenation of the two words. While the reduced form of such a concatenation (which is the product of the free group) verifies many basic properties like…

For a finite group $G$, let $N(G)$ denote the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$. We show that if every finite group $G$ with trivial center such that $N(G)$ equals to $N(Alt_n)$, where $n>1361$ and at least one of numbers $n$ or $n-1$ are…

We prove Lusztig's conjectures ${\bf P1}$-${\bf P15}$ for the affine Weyl group of type $\tilde{C}_2$ for all choices of positive weight function. Our approach to computing Lusztig's $\mathbf{a}$-function is based on the notion of a…

We present a metric condition ${\LARGE{\tau}}'$ which describes the geometry of classical small cancellation groups and applies also to other known classes of groups such as two-dimensional Artin groups. We prove that presentations…

The union-closed sets conjecture (sometimes referred to as Frankl's conjecture) states that every finite, nontrivial union-closed family of sets has an element that is in at least half of its members. Although the conjecture is known to be…

The Grothendieck--Serre conjecture predicts that every generically trivial torsor under a reductive group scheme $G$ over a regular local ring $R$ is trivial. The mixed characteristic case of the conjecture is widely open. We consider the…

We show that reducible braids which are, in a Garside-theoretical sense, as simple as possible within their conjugacy class, are also as simple as possible in a geometric sense. More precisely, if a braid belongs to a certain subset of its…

It is well known that the triviality problem for finitely presented groups is unsolvable; we ask the question of whether there exists a general procedure to produce a non-trivial element from a finite presentation of a non-trivial group. If…

We prove the Arad-Herzog conjecture for various families of finite simple groups- if A and B are nontrivial conjugacy classes, then AB is not a conjugacy class. We also prove that if G is a finite simple group of Lie type and A and B are…

A distinguishing $r$-labeling of a digraph $G$ is a mapping $\lambda$ from the set of verticesof $G$ to the set of labels $\{1,\dots,r\}$ such that no nontrivial automorphism of $G$ preserves all the labels.The distinguishing number $D(G)$…

In this work we employ machine learning to understand structured mathematical data involving finite groups and derive a theorem about necessary properties of generators of finite simple groups. We create a database of all 2-generated…

We study the properties of groups that have presentations in which the square of each generator gives the identity and all relations are of even length. We consider the parabolic subgroups of such a group and show that every element has a…
