An automorphism $\alpha$ of a group $G$ is normal if it fixes every normal subgroup of $G$ setwise. We give an algebraic description of normal automorphisms of relatively hyperbolic groups. In particular, we prove that for any relatively…

Let F_n denote the free group generated by n letters. The purpose of this article is to show that Hol(F_2), the holomorph of the free group on two generators, is linear. Consequently, any split group extension of F_2 by a linear group H is…

An automorphism of a group G is called an IA-automorphism if it induces the identity automorphism on the abelianized group G/G'. Let IA(G) denote the group of all IA-automorphisms of G. We classify all finitely generated nilpotent groups G…

Let L be the free m-generated metabelian nilpotent of class c Lie algebra over a field of characteristic 0. An automorphism f of L is called normal if f(I)=I for every ideal I of the algebra L. Such automorphisms form a normal subgroup N(L)…

In this paper we consider some classical varieties of linear algebras over the field which has characteristic 0. For every considered variety we take a category of the finite generated free algebras of this variety. And for every this…

We prove that the outer automorphism group $\mathrm{Out}(N)$ of an infinitely generated free nilpotent group $N$ of class two is complete.

We describe the groups of inner and outer automorphisms of the free metabelian nilpotent Lie algebra of finite rank over a field of characteristic 0. To obtain this result we first describe the groups of inner and continuous outer…

We consider a family of 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras associated to uniform complete graphs on odd number of vertices. We prove that the symmetry group of such a graph is the holomorph of the additive cyclic group $\Z_n$. Moreover, we prove…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated malabelian group, let $A\leq\mathrm{Out}(G)$ be a finitely generated subgroup, and let $\Gamma_{G,A}$ denote the preimage of $A$ in $\mathrm{Aut}(G)$. We give a general criterion for the linearity of…

Dyer and Formanek (1976) proved that if N is a free nilpotent group of class two and of finite rank which is not equal to 1, or to 3, then the automorphism group Aut(N) of N is complete. The main result of the present paper states that the…

In this article we study the automorphism group ${\rm Aut}(X,\sigma)$ of subshifts $(X,\sigma)$ of low word complexity. In particular, we prove that Aut$(X,\sigma)$ is virtually $\mathbb{Z}$ for aperiodic minimal subshifts and certain…

A simple Almost-Riemannian Structure on a Lie group G is defined by a linear vector field (that is an infinitesimal automorphism) and dim(G) -- 1 left-invariant ones. It is first proven that two different ARSs are isometric if and only if…

We apply results proved in [Li19] to the linear order expansions of non-trivial free homogeneous structures and the universal n-linear order for $n\geq 2$, and prove the simplicity of their automorphism groups.

We define several "standard" subgroups of the automorphism group Aut(G) of a partially commutative (right-angled Artin) group and use these standard subgroups to describe decompositions of Aut(G). If C is the commutation graph of G, we show…

Let G be a torsion--free abelian group of finite rank. The automorphism group Aut(G) acts on the set of maximal independent subsets of G. The orbits of this action are the isomorphism classes of indecomposable decompositions of G. G…

We study a structure of the group of unitriangular automorphisms of a free associative algebra and a polynomial algebra and prove that this group is a semi direct product of abelian groups. Using this decomposition we describe a structure…

Let F be a local field of positive characteristic, and let G be either a Heisenberg group over F, or a certain (nonabelian) two-dimensional unipotent group over F. If H is an arithmetic subgroup of G, we provide an explicit description of…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated polyfree group. If $G$ has nonzero Euler characteristic then we show that $Aut(G)$ has a finite index subgroup in which every automorphism has infinite Reidemeister number. For certain $G$ of length 2, we…

Let $G$ be a linear algebraic group, over a field $F$. We show that $G$ is isomorphic to the automorphism group scheme of a smooth projective $F$-variety, defined as the blow-up of a projective space, along a suitable smooth subvariety.

In the paper autonilpotent groups were characterized as groups $G$ such that $\mathrm{Aut}G$ stabilizes some chain of subgroups of $G$. It was shown that a $p$-group is autonilpotent if and only if its group of automorphisms is also a…
