For any finite set $M\subset {\mathbb Z}_{\geq 1}$ of positive integers, there is up to isomorphism a unique ${\mathbb Z}$-lattice $H_M$ with a cyclic automorphism $h_M:H_M\to H_M$ whose eigenvalues are the unit roots with orders in $M$ and…
We prove that the convolution of a selfdecomposable distribution with its background driving law is again selfdecomposable if and only if the background driving law is s-selfdecomposable. We will refer to this as the \textit{factorization…
Let f : X -> Y be a morphism between normal complex varieties, and assume that Y is Kawamata log terminal. Given any differential form, defined on the smooth locus of Y, we construct a "pull-back form" on X. The pull-back map obtained by…
We construct polynomial automorphisms with wandering Fatou components. The four-dimensional automorphisms $H$ lie in a one-parameter family, depending on the parameter $\delta \in \mathbb C \setminus \{0\}$, and as $\delta \rightarrow 0$…
We prove that, if $\Gamma$ is a finite connected cubic vertex-transitive graph, then either there exists a semiregular automorphism of $\Gamma$ of order at least $6$, or the number of vertices of $\Gamma$ is bounded above by an absolute…
Toral automorphisms, represented by unimodular integer matrices, are investigated with respect to their symmetries and reversing symmetries. We characterize the symmetry groups of GL(n,Z) matrices with simple spectrum through their…
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.
The well-known Dixmier conjecture asks if every algebra endomorphism of the first Weyl algebra over a characteristic zero field is an automorphism. We bring a hopefully easier to solve conjecture, called the $\gamma,\delta$ conjecture, and…
We examine the Lyness mapping (an integrable $N$th-order discrete system which can be generated from a one-dimensional reduction of the Hirota-Miwa equation) from the point of view of deautonomisation. We show that only the $N=2$ case can…
Let $A$ be a Koszul Artin-Schelter regular algebra, $\sigma$ a graded automorphism of $A$ and $\delta$ a degree-one $\sigma$-derivation of $A$. We introduce an invariant for $\delta$ called the $\sigma$-divergence of $\delta$. We describe…
We prove that for any superatomic Boolean Algebra of cardinality >beth_omega there is an automorphism moving uncountably many atoms. Similarly for larger cardinals. Any of those results are essentially best possible.
We give new characterizations of the algebra $\mathscr{L}_n(\mathbb{F}_{q^n})$ formed by all linearized polynomials over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ after briefly surveying some known ones. One isomorphism we construct is between…
Let $A$ be a Koszul Artin-Schelter regular algebra and $B=A_P[y_1,y_2;\varsigma,\nu]$ be a graded double Ore extension of $A$ where $\varsigma:A\to M_{2\times 2}(A)$ is a graded algebra homomorphism and $\nu:A\to A^{\oplus 2}$ is a degree…
We characterise when the Leavitt path algebras over $\mathbb{Z}$ of two arbitrary countable directed graphs are $*$-isomorphic by showing that two Leavitt path algebras over $\mathbb{Z}$ are $*$-isomorphic if and only if the corresponding…
We show that if a field k contains sufficiently many elements(for instance, if k is infinite), and K is an algebraically closed field containing k, then every linear algebraic k-group over K is k-isomorphic to Aut(A\otimes_kK), where A is a…
For an affine algebraic variety $X$, we study the subgroup $\mathrm{Aut}_{\text{alg}}(X)$ of the group of regular automorphisms $\mathrm{Aut}(X)$ of $X$ generated by all the connected algebraic subgroups. We prove that…
Let $A$ be an algebra and $\sigma$ an automorphism of $A$. A linear map $d$ of $A$ is called a $\sigma$-derivation of $A$ if $d(xy) = d(x)y + \sigma(x)d(y)$, for all $x, y \in A$. A linear map $D$ is said to be a generalized…
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 $R$ be a commutative, indecomposable ring with identity and $(P,\le)$ a partially ordered set. Let $FI(P)$ denote the finitary incidence algebra of $(P,\le)$ over $R$. We will show that, in most cases, local automorphisms of $FI(P)$ are…
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…
