Periods of p-adic Schottky groups.
The investigation of quantitative aspects of non-unique factorizations in the ring of integers of an algebraic number field gives rise to combinatorial problems in the class group of this number field. In this paper we investigate the combinatorial problems related to the function 𝓟(H,𝓓,M)(x), counting elements whose sets of lengths have period 𝓓, for extreme choices of 𝓓. If the class group meets certain conditions, we obtain the value of an exponent in the asymptotic formula of this function...
Let be a group and be an integer greater than or equal to . is said to be -permutable if every product of elements can be reordered at least in one way. We prove that, if has a centre of finite index , then is -permutable. More bounds are given on the least such that is -permutable.
We are interested in permutations preserving certain distribution properties of sequences. In particular we consider -uniformly distributed sequences on a compact metric space , 0-1 sequences with densities, and Cesàro summable bounded sequences. It is shown that the maximal subgroups, respectively subsemigroups, of leaving any of the above spaces invariant coincide. A subgroup of these permutation groups, which can be determined explicitly, is the Lévy group . We show that is big in the...
In this article we look into characterizing primitive groups in the following way. Given a primitive group we single out a subset of its generators such that these generators alone (the so-called primitive generators) imply the group is primitive. The remaining generators ensure transitivity or comply with specific features of the group. We show that, other than the symmetric and alternating groups, there are infinitely many primitive groups with one primitive generator each. These primitive groups...
