Several recent papers have considered the Ramsey-theoretic problem of how large a subset of integers can be without containing any 3-term geometric progressions. This problem has also recently been generalized to number fields and F q [x]. We study the analogous problem in two noncommutative settings, quaternions and free groups, to see how lack of commutivity affected the problem. In the quaternion case, we show bounds for the supremum of upper densities of 3-term geometric progression avoiding sets. In the free groups case, we calculate the decay rate for the greedy set in x, y : x 2 = y 2 = 1 avoiding 3-term geometric progressions.
