Estimates for simple random walks on fundamental groups of surfaces

Laurent Bartholdi, Serge Cantat, Tullio Ceccherini-Silberstein, Pierre de la Harpe (1997)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Numerical estimates are given for the spectral radius of simple random walks on Cayley graphs. Emphasis is on the case of the fundamental group of a closed surface, for the usual system of generators.

Estimations de dimensions de Minkowski dans l’espace des groupes marqués

Luc Guyot (2007)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Dans cet article, on montre que l’espace des groupes marqués est un sous-espace fermé d’un ensemble de Cantor dont la dimension de Hausdorff est infinie. On prouve que la dimension de Minkowski de cet espace est infinie en exhibant des sous-ensembles de groupes marqués à petite simplification dont les dimensions de Minkowski sont arbitrairement grandes. On donne une estimation des dimensions de Minkowski de sous-espaces de groupes à un relateur. On démontre enfin que les dimensions de Minkowski...

Every 2 -group with all subgroups normal-by-finite is locally finite

Enrico Jabara (2018)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

A group G has all of its subgroups normal-by-finite if H / H G is finite for all subgroups H of G . The Tarski-groups provide examples of p -groups ( p a “large” prime) of nonlocally finite groups in which every subgroup is normal-by-finite. The aim of this paper is to prove that a 2 -group with every subgroup normal-by-finite is locally finite. We also prove that if | H / H G | 2 for every subgroup H of G , then G contains an Abelian subgroup of index at most 8 .

Every braid admits a short sigma-definite expression

Jean Fromentin (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

A result by Dehornoy (1992) says that every nontrivial braid admits a σ -definite expression, defined as a braid word in which the generator σ i with maximal index i appears with exponents that are all positive, or all negative. This is the ground result for ordering braids. In this paper, we enhance this result and prove that every braid admits a σ -definite word expression that, in addition, is quasi-geodesic. This establishes a longstanding conjecture. Our proof uses the dual braid monoid and a new...

Expansion and random walks in SL d ( / p n ) : I

Jean Bourgain, Alex Gamburd (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We prove that the Cayley graphs of SL d ( / p n ) are expanders with respect to the projection of any fixed elements in SL d ( ) generating a Zariski dense subgroup.
