Mixed identities for simple locally finite groups

Henry Bradford, Kıvanç Ersoy, Jakob Schneider +1

A mixed identity of a group is a nontrivial word with constants that vanishes under every substitution of its variables. We derive lower bounds for the length of mixed identities i…

Non-singular word maps for linear groups

Henry Bradford, Jakob Schneider, Andreas Thom

We study the word image of words with constants in and show that it is large provided the word satisfies some natural conditions on its length and its critical consta…

The length of mixed identities for finite groups

Henry Bradford, Jakob Schneider, Andreas Thom

We prove that there exists a constant such that any finite group having no non-trivial mixed identity of length is an almost simple group with a simple group of Lie…

On the length of non-solutions to equations with constants in some linear groups

Henry Bradford, Jakob Schneider, Andreas Thom

We show that for any finite-rank free group , any word-equation in one variable of length with constants in fails to be satisfied by some element of of word-length $…

Word maps with constants on symmetric groups

Jakob Schneider, Andreas Thom

We study word maps with constants on symmetric groups. Even though there are mixed identities of bounded length that are valid for all symmetric groups, we show that no such identi…

Isomorphism questions for metric ultraproducts of finite quasisimple groups

Jakob Schneider

New results on metric ultraproducts of finite simple groups are established. We show that the isomorphism type of a simple metric ultraproduct of groups () for…

On groups with unbounded Cayley graphs

Jakob Schneider

We show that every non-trivial compact connected group and every non-trivial general or special linear group over an infinite field admits a generating set such that the associated…

Word images in symmetric and classical groups of Lie type are dense

Jakob Schneider, Andreas Thom

Let be a non-trivial word and denote by the image of the associated word map . Let be one of the finite groups ${\rm S}_n,…

A note on the normal subgroup lattice of ultraproducts of finite quasisimple groups

Jakob Schneider, Andreas Thom

In [A. Stolz and A. Thom, On the lattice of normal subgroups in ultraproducts of compact simple groups, PLMS 108(1), 2014] it was stated that the lattice of normal subgroups of an…

Some remarks on finitarily approximable groups

Nikolay Nikolov, Jakob Schneider, Andreas Thom

The concept of a C-approximable group, for a class of finite groups C, is a common generalization of the concepts of a sofic, weakly sofic, and linear sofic group. Glebsky raised t…
