It has been proved recently by Moreto and Craven that the order of a finite group is bounded in terms of the largest multiplicity of its irreducible character degrees. A conjugacy class version of this result was proved for solvable groups…

For a surface group $\pi_1(\Sigma_g)=\langle c_1,\dots , c_{2g}\mid c_1\cdots c_{2g}c_1^{-1}\cdots c_{2g}^{-1}\rangle$ with genus $g\geq 2$, we provide an explicit bound $n-1\leq \mathrm{CL}(2n)=\mathrm{CL}(2n+1)\leq n+8g-1$ for the…

The density of a rational language can be understood as the frequency of some "pattern" in the shift space, for example a pattern like "words with an even number of a given letter." We study the density of group languages, i.e. rational…

We define invariants of braids rather than invariants of conjugacy classes of braids. For any pure three-braid we give effective upper and lower bounds for these invariants. This is done in terms of a natural syllable decomposition of the…

We study the parameterized complexity of the following fundamental geometric problems with respect to the dimension $d$: i) Given $n$ points in $\Rd$, compute their minimum enclosing cylinder. ii) Given two $n$-point sets in $\Rd$, decide…

Any positive word comprised of random sequence of tokens form a finite alphabet can be reduced (without change of length) using an appropriate size Braid group relationships. Surprisingly the Braid relations dramatically reduce the…

Let $A_q$ be a $q$-letter alphabet and $w$ be a right infinite word on this alphabet. A subword of $w$ is a block of consecutive letters of $w$. The subword complexity function of $w$ assigns to each positive integer $n$ the number $f_w(n)$…

A group-word $w$ is called concise if the verbal subgroup $w(G)$ is finite whenever $w$ takes only finitely many values in a group $G$. It is known that there are words that are not concise. In particular, Olshanskii gave an example of such…

A square is a word of the form $xx$ for a non-empty word $x$. Brlek and Li [Comb. Theory, 2025] proved that the number of distinct squares in a word $w$ of length $n$ is at most $n - \sigma$, where $\sigma$ is the number of letters used in…

We present an algorithm for solving the conjugacy search problem in the four strand braid group. The computational complexity is cubic with respect to the braid length.

For finite reflection groups of types A and B, we determine the diameter of the graph whose vertices are reduced words for the longest element and whose edges are braid relations. This is deduced from a more general theorem that applies to…

Let X be a 2-sphere with n punctures. We classify all conjugacy classes of Zariski-dense representations $$\rho: \pi_1(X)\to SL_2(\mathbb{C})$$ with finite orbit under the mapping class group of X, such that the local monodromy at one or…

Graded modal logic is the formal language obtained from ordinary (propositional) modal logic by endowing its modal operators with cardinality constraints. Under the familiar possible-worlds semantics, these augmented modal operators receive…

The node-averaged complexity of a distributed algorithm running on a graph $G=(V,E)$ is the average over the times at which the nodes $V$ of $G$ finish their computation and commit to their outputs. We study the node-averaged complexity for…

A special inverse monoid is one defined by a presentation where all the defining relations have the form $r = 1$. By a result of Ivanov Margolis and Meakin the word problem for such an inverse monoid can often be reduced to the word problem…

Let M be a compact, connected non-orientable surface without boundary and of genus g greater than or equal to 3. We investigate the pure braid groups P_n(M) of M, and in particular the possible splitting of the Fadell-Neuwirth short exact…

The probabilistic Waring problem for finite simple groups asks whether every word of the form $w_1w_2$, where $w_1$ and $w_2$ are non-trivial words in disjoint sets of variables, induces almost uniform distribution on finite simple groups…

An element w in the free group on r letters defines a map f from G^r to G for each group G. In this note, we show that whenever w is non-trivial and G is a semisimple algebraic group, f is dominant. When G is a finite simple group, the…

Consider an element~$x$ of a Garside group which is rigid in the sense of Garside-theory. Let $SC(x)$ be the set of rigid conjugates of~$x$ -- this is a well-known characteristic subset of the conjugacy class of~$x$. We present…

In this work we introduce a new succinct variant of the word problem in a finitely generated group $G$, which we call the power word problem: the input word may contain powers $p^x$, where $p$ is a finite word over generators of $G$ and $x$…
