Origin of phrase 'natural number'
A phrase normally is a part of a sentence, It is not always true, of course, Many people would view "Sh*t!" as a phrase. But according to Wikipedia, phrase is usually required to include all the dependents of the units that it contains. Some expressions that may be called phrases in everyday language are not phrases in the technical sense. For example, in the sentence I can't put up with Alex, the words put up with may be referred to in common language as a phrase but they do not form a complete phrase, since they do not include Alex, which is the complement of the preposition with.

It is not a phrase.

Quantitative word problem for 3-manifold groups
All fundamental groups of closed 3-manifolds are linear, so they have word problem in logspace. Sol has exponential Dehn function, Nil has Dehn function $\sim n^3$.

Ergodicity of the action of $\operatorname{SL}(n,\mathbb R)$ on $\operatorname{SL}(n,\mathbb R)/\operatorname{SL}(n,\mathbb Z)$
Transitivity is not the same as ergodicity. I am not sure that if the quotient by the center is not taken, the action is ergodic.

Combinatorial problem in $\mathsf{S}_4$
$Aut(S_4)=Inn(S_4)=S_4$. Two permutations are conjugate iff they have the same cycle structure.

Random subgraph properties
It would be interesting to know examples of non-real world graphs.

Random subgraph properties
It is now less understandable. There is no such thing as real world graph. The other properties hold in a complete graph.
comment
Random subgraph properties
My intention was to show that, as formulated, the question does not make sense.
comment
Random subgraph properties
If the graph is complete then any random subgraph is complete. If the graph is a cycle (path) and $n$ is small enough then the subgraph will be empty with positive probability.

Is there a Riemann Hypothesis criterion utilizing sum of squares of divisors?
... I mean $\sigma_2(n)<e^{2\gamma} n^2(\log\log n)^2$ could be equivalent to RH.
comment

...or, perhaps the simple $\sigma_1\le \sigma_2$ is enough.

No but perhaps you can get $\ge$ using Cauchy's inequality.
comment

Can you use the fact that $\sigma_2(n)\le (\sigma_1(n))^2$?

Using Bertini software to determine whether or not a variety is empty
Doesn't Bertini (never used it) produce approximal solutions only? If so, how are you going to show that there are no solutions? As far as I know there is an "art" of speeding up Groebner's method: choose different orders, etc.
