Orders of commutators and Products of conjugacy classes in finite groups

This paper establishes that a commutator [x,g][x,g] is a pp-element for all gGg \in G if and only if xx is central modulo Op(G)\mathbf{O}_p(G), a result that generalizes the Baer--Suzuki and Glauberman Zp\mathbf{Z}_p^*-theorems and is applied to prove that a conjugacy class KK satisfying K1K=1DD1K^{-1}K = 1 \cup D \cup D^{-1} generates a solvable subgroup.

Amenable equivalence relations, Kesten's property, and measurable lamplighters

This paper characterizes the amenability of countable Borel equivalence relations via the uniform Liouville property, investigates Kesten's property for return probabilities on topological groups, and constructs an amenable contractible Polish group lacking this property by linking it to anti-concentration inequalities in measurable lamplighter groups.

The Lovász conjecture holds for moderately dense Cayley graphs

This paper proves that every large connected Cayley graph with degree at least n1cn^{1-c} for some absolute constant c>0c>0 contains a Hamilton cycle, thereby advancing the Lovász conjecture by improving previous density thresholds through a proof that utilizes an arithmetic regularity lemma tailored to Cayley graphs instead of Szemerédi's regularity lemma.

Finite group actions on genus two SL(2,C)SL(2, \mathbb{C})-character variety and applications to SCFTs

This paper investigates the irreducible components of fixed point sets within the SL(2,C)SL(2, \mathbb{C})-character variety of a genus two surface under finite group actions, utilizing the genus two DAHA to identify geometric transitions that yield novel candidates for symmetry-reduced moduli spaces in 4d N=2\mathcal{N}=2 SCFTs.
