The Independence of Characters on Nonabelian Groups
Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society
Abstract
We show that there are characters of compact, connected, nonabelian groups that approximate random choices of signs. The work was motivated by Kronecker's theorem on the independence of exponential functions and has applications to thin sets.
