The inner automorphisms of a group G can be characterized within the category of groups without reference to group elements: they are precisely those automorphisms of G that can be extended, in a functorial manner, to all groups H given…

We prove several new rigidity results for polynomial automorphisms of $\mathbb C^2$ with positive entropy. A first result is that a complex slice of the (forward or backward) Julia set is never a smooth, or even rectifiable, curve. We also…

Let $B$ be a regular local ring and $G\subset\Aut(B)$ a finite group of local automorphisms. Assume that $G$ is cyclic of prime order $p$, where $p$ is equal to the residue characteristic of $B$. We give conditions under which the ring of…

Let $A$ be an annulus in the plane $\mathbb R^2$ and $g:A\rightarrow A$ be a boundary components preserving homeomorphism which is distal and has no periodic points. Then there is a continuous decomposition of $A$ into $g$-invariant circles…

We prove that a quasi-finite endomorphism of an algebraic variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, that is injective on the complement of a closed subvariety, is an automorphism. We also prove that an endomorphism…

We prove that the Gorensteinification of the face ring of a cycle is totally $p$-anisotropic in characteristic $p$. In other words, given an appropriate Artinian reduction, it contains no nonzero $p$-isotropic elements. Moreover, we prove…

We show that certain subrings of the cohomology of a finite p-group P may be realised as the images of restriction from suitable virtually free groups. We deduce that the cohomology of P is a finite module for any such subring. Examples…

Let $R$ be an affine algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ with dim$(R)=n$. Let $P$ be a projective $A=R[T_1,\cdots,T_k]$-module of rank $n$ with determinant $L$. Suppose $I$ is an ideal of $A$ of height $n$ such…

We determine the groups of automorphisms and their orbits for nilpotent Lie algebras of class 2 and small dimension, over arbitrary fields (including the characteristic 2 case).

We consider isomorphisms and automorphisms of quantum groups. Let $k$ be a field and suppose $p, q\in k^*$ are not roots of unity. We prove that the two quantum groups $U_q(\mathfrak {sl}_2)$ and $U_p(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ over a field $k$ are…

We prove that if $A$ is a regular graded skew Clifford algebra and is a twist of a regular graded Clifford algebra $B$ by an automorphism, then the subalgebra of $A$ generated by a certain normalizing sequence of homogeneous degree-two…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let $H:k^2\to k^2$ be a polynomial mapping such that the Jacobian $\text{Jac}\,H$ is a non-zero constant. In this note we prove, that if there is a line $l \subset k^2$ such…

Given a variety of universal algebras. A method is suggested for describing automorphisms of a category of free algebras of this variety. Applying this general method all automorphisms of such categories are found in two cases: 1) for the…

We consider the space of countable structures with fixed underlying set in a given countable language. We show that the number of ergodic probability measures on this space that are $S_\infty$-invariant and concentrated on a single…

In 2013 Bazhov proved a criterium for two points on a complete toric variety to lie in the same orbit of the neutral component of automorphism group. This criterium is in terms of divisor class group. Arzhantsev-Bazhov (2013) obtained a…

Let $\mathcal{X}$ be an irreducible, non-singular, algebraic curve defined over a field of odd characteristic $p$. Let $g$ and $\gamma$ be the genus and $p$-rank of $\mathcal{X}$, respectively. The influence of $g$ and $\gamma$ on the…

Let P be a free Poisson algebra in two variables over a field of characteristic zero. We prove that the automorphisms of P are tame and that the locally nilpotent derivations of P are triangulable.

We study the group of automorphisms of the affine plane preserving some given curve, over any field. The group is proven to be algebraic, except in the case where the curve is a bunch of parallel lines. Moreover, a classification of the…

In this note, we investigate Jacobian conjecture through investigation of automorphisms of polynomial rings in characteristic $p$. Making use of the technique of inverse limits, we show that under Jacobian condition for a given homomorphism…
