For each prime $p$ we construct a family $\{G_i\}$ of finite $p$-groups such that $|\Aut (G_i)|/|G_i|$ goes to $0$, as $i$ goes to infinity. This disproves a well-known conjecture that $|G|$ divides $|\Aut(G)|$ for every non-abelian finite…

It is shown that every separable abelian topological group is isomorphic with a topological subgroup of a monothetic group (that is, a topological group with a single topological generator). In particular, every separable metrizable abelian…

It is shown that a finite group in which more than 3/4 of the elements are involutions must be an elementary abelian 2-group. A group in which exactly 3/4 of the elements are involutions is characterized as the direct product of the…

Bumagin-Wise posed the question of whether every countable group can be realised as the outer automorphism group of a finitely generated, residually finite group. We give a partial answer to this problem for recursively presentable groups.

A notion of a quantum automorphism group of a finite quantum group, generalising that of a classical automorphism group of a finite group, is proposed and a corresponding existence result proved.

First we prove that any inner automorphism in the stabilizer of a graded-simple unital associative algebra whose grading group is abelian is the conjugation by a homogeneous element. Now consider a grading by an abelian group on an…

Let $G$ be a finite group and assume $p$ is a prime dividing the order of $G$. Suppose for any such $p$, that every two abelian $p$-subgroups of $G$ of equal order are conjugate. The structure of such a group $G$ has been settled in this…

We survey recent results on multiple transitivity of automorphism groups of affine algebraic varieties. We consider the property of infinite transitivity of the special automorphism group, which is equivalent to flexibility of the…

We classify by numerical invariants the finite subgroups $H$ of a primary abelian group $G$ for which every homomorphism or monomorphism of $H$ into $G$, or every endomorphism of $H$, extends to an endomorphism of $G$. We apply these…

A notion of degeneration of elements in groups is introduced. It is used to parametrize the orbits in a finite abelian group under its full automorphism group by a finite distributive lattice. A pictorial description of this lattice leads…

We call a group $G$ {\it algorithmically finite} if no algorithm can produce an infinite set of pairwise distinct elements of $G$. We construct examples of recursively presented infinite algorithmically finite groups and study their…

We classify abelian subgroups of Out(F_n) up to finite index in an algorithmic and computationally friendly way. A process called disintegration is used to canonically decompose a single rotationless element \phi into a composition of…

We investigate the general structure of the automorphism group and the Lie algebra of derivations of a finitely generated vertex operator algebra. The automorphism group is isomorphic to an algebraic group. Under natural assumptions, the…

We study natural linear representations of self-similar groups over finite fields. In particular, we show that if the group is generated by a finite automaton, then obtained matrices are automatic. This shows a new relation between two…

Consider unbounded reduced Abelian p-groups (p > 2) A and A'. In this paper, we prove that if the automorphism groups Aut A and Aut A' are elementary equivalent then the groups A and A' are equivalent in the second order logic bounded by…

We study the automorphisms of a graph product of finitely-generated abelian groups W. More precisely, we study a natural subgroup Aut* W of Aut W, with Aut* W = Aut W whenever vertex groups are finite and in a number of other cases. We…

Many common finite p-groups admit automorphisms of order coprime to p, and when p is odd, it is reasonably difficult to find finite p-groups whose automorphism group is a p-group. Yet the goal of this paper is to prove that the automorphism…

We list all finite abelian groups which act effectively on smooth cubic fourfolds.

A group in which every element commutes with its endomorphic images is called an $E$-group. Our main result is that all 3-generator $E$-groups are abelian. It follows that the minimal number of generators of a finitely generated non-abelian…

We examine the existence of universal elements in classes of infinite abelian groups. The main method is using group invariants which are defined relative to club guessing sequences. We prove, for example: Theorem: For $n\ge 2$, there is a…
