有限单群的概率Wering问题是指,形式为$w1w2$的每一个词,其中$w1$和$w2$都是不相交变量集中的非平凡词,是否关于$L^1$范数在有限单群上诱导出几乎一致的分布.我们的第一个主要结果为这个问题提供了一个积极的解决方案。给出了有限有界秩李型单群上诱导几乎均匀分布的词的几何刻画,并研究了相关的随机游动。我们的第二个主要结果是关于有限单群的概率L^1问题。证明了对于每一个$L 1$,都存在$N=N(L)$,使得如果$w_1,点,w_N$是两两不相交变量集中长度至多为$L$的非平凡字,则它们的乘积$w_1\cdots w_N$在有限单群上关于$L^^#$范数几乎一致.$N$对$L$的依赖是真实的。这个结果表明,对于如上所述的词$w=w1\cdots w_N$,由$w$在任意域上的半单代数群上诱导的词映射是平坦的态射。文中还介绍了它在表示簇、子群增长和随机生成等方面的应用。
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 with respect to the $L^1$ norm. Our first main result provides a positive solution to this problem. We also provide a geometric characterization of words inducing almost uniform distribution on finite simple groups of Lie type of bounded rank, and study related random walks. Our second main result concerns the probabilistic $L^{\infty}$ Waring problem for finite simple groups. We show that for every $l \ge 1$ there exists $N = N(l)$, such that if $w_1, \ldots , w_N$ are non-trivial words of length at most $l$ in pairwise disjoint sets of variables, then their product $w_1 \cdots w_N$ is almost uniform on finite simple groups with respect to the $L^{\infty}$ norm. The dependence of $N$ on $l$ is genuine. This result implies that, for every word $w = w_1 \cdots w_N$ as above, the word map induced by $w$ on a semisimple algebraic group over an arbitrary field is a flat morphism. Applications to representation varieties, subgroup growth, and random generation are also presented.
