Short laws for finite groups and residual finiteness growth
No full text We prove that for every n ∈ N n \in \mathbb {N} and δ > 0 \delta >0 there exists a word w n ∈ F 2 w_n \in F_2 of length O ( n 2 / 3 log ( n ) 3 + δ ) O(n^{2/3} \log (n)^{3+\delta }) which is a law for every finite group of order at most n n . This improves upon the main result of Andreas Thom [Israel J. Math. 219 (2017), pp. 469–478] by the second named author. As an application we prove a new lower bound on the residual finiteness growth of non-abelian free groups. </p

Network Meta-Analysis
No full textThis chapter details network meta-analysis (NMA), a statistical method for indirectly comparing treatments using data from multiple randomised controlled trials (RCTs). It explains the underlying principles, including the consistency assumption and its implications, and demonstrates how to perform NMA using both Bayesian and frequentist approaches in R, employing the multinma and netmeta packages respectively. The chapter uses a surgical site infection example to illustrate the practical application of NMA, covering model diagnostics, meta-regression, and inconsistency testing. Finally, it discusses extensions of NMA to different data types and scenarios, such as disconnected networks and the use of individual patient data

Sofic groups and diophantine approximation
No full textWe prove the algebraic eigenvalue conjecture of J. Dodziuk, P. Linnell, V. Mathai, T. Schick, and S. Yates (see [2]) for sofic groups. Moreover, we give restrictions on the spectral measure of elements in the integral group ring. Finally, we define integer operators and prove a quantization of the operator norm below 2. To the knowledge of the author, there is no group known that is not sofic. (c) 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc
