Thursday 8 October 2026 at 11 am, as part of the Al@Bicocca seminar cycle, Francesco Fumagalli (University of Florence) will hold the following talk
Title: On mixable groups
Abstract: A finite group G is said mixable if it admits a product g1ϵ1 g2ϵ2. . . gkϵk, where g1, g2, . . ., gk are fixed elements of G and ϵ1, ϵ2, . . ., ϵk are independent Bernoulli random variables, that is distributed uniformly on G. It is conjectured that the mixable groups are precisely the groups having no odd order quotients. We prove that this conjecture is true in the case of solvable groups and in some other context.
This is a joint work with Martino Garonzi and Attila Maròti.

The seminar will be held in Room U7-06 (U7 Building | Via Bicocca degli Arcimboldi 8, Milano) and will also be available online by this link.
