Let G be a connected complex simple Lie group with maximal compact subgroup U. Let g be the Lie algebra of G, and X = G/U be the associated Riemannian globally symmetric space of type IV. We have constructed three types of arithmetic…

Associated to a finite graph $X$ is its quantum automorphism group $G$. The main problem is to compute the Poincar\'e series of $G$, meaning the series $f(z)=1+c_1z+c_2z^2+...$ whose coefficients are multiplicities of 1 into tensor powers…

We give a sufficient condition on a finite $p$-group $G$ of nilpotency class 2 so that $\Aut_c(G) = \Inn(G)$, where $\Aut_c(G)$ and $\Inn(G)$ denote the group of all class preserving automorphisms and inner automorphisms of $G$…

Fix an equilateral triangle group $T_i=\langle a, b; a^i, b^i, (ab)^i\rangle$ with $i\geq6$ arbitrary. Our main result is: for every presentation $\mathcal{P}$ of every countable group $Q$ there exists an HNN-extension $T_{\mathcal{P}}$ of…

We investigate prime character degree graphs of solvable groups. In particular, we consider a family of graphs $\Gamma_{k,t}$ constructed by adjoining edges between two complete graphs in a one-to-one fashion. In this paper we determine…

We study the automorphisms of modular curves associated to Cartan subgroups of $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z)$ and certain subgroups of their normalizers. We prove that if $n$ is large enough, all the automorphisms are induced by the…

We denote by SG_{n,k} the stable Kneser graph (Schrijver graph) of stable n-subsets of a set of cardinality 2n+k. For k congruent 3 (mod 4) and n\ge2 we show that there is a component of the \chi-colouring graph of SG_{n,k} which is…

Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group and let Aut$(G)$ denote the full automorphism group of $G$. In the recent past, there has been interest in finding necessary and sufficient conditions on $G$ such that certain subgroups of Aut$(G)$ are equal.…

Let $H \subseteq K$ be two subgroups of a finite group $G$ and Aut$(K)$ the automorphism group of $K$. The autocommuting probability of $G$ relative to its subgroups $H$ and $K$, denoted by ${\rm Pr}(H, {\rm Aut}(K))$, is the probability…

We consider the action of a finite group $G$ by locality preserving automorphisms (quantum cellular automata) on quantum spin chains. We refer to such group actions as ``symmetries''. The natural notion of equivalence for such symmetries is…

We apply the theory of families of (phi,Gamma)-modules to trianguline families as defined by Chenevier. This yields a new definition of Kisin's finite slope subspace as well as higher dimensional analogues. Especially we show that these…

In this note we prove the Launois-Lenagan conjecture on the classification of the automorphism groups of the algebras of quantum matrices R_q[M_n] of square shape for all positive integers n, base fields K, and deformation parameters q \in…

The main results in this thesis deal with the representation growth of certain classes of groups. In chapter $1$ we present the required preliminary theory. In chapter $2$ we introduce the Congruence Subgroup Problem for an algebraic group…

In this paper, we construct explicitely polynomial automorphisms of affine n-space for certain n. More precisely, we construct algebraic subgroups of the general polynomial group GA_n(k) where k is an arbitrary base ring of characteristic…

We study the equivariant homotopy type of the poset of orthogonal decompositions of a finite-dimensional complex vector space. Suppose that n is a power of a prime p, and that D is an elementary abelian p-subgroup of U(n) acting on complex…

Let $M$ be a closed, oriented, smooth $4-$manifold with intersection form $\Gamma$, $A(\Gamma)$ the automorphism group of $\Gamma$ and $D(M)$ the subgroup induced by orientation-preserving diffeomorphisms of $M$. In this note we study the…

In this paper we find all permutations of the level k weights of the affine algebra A_r^{(1)} which commute with both its S and T modular matrices. We find that all of these are simple current automorphisms and their conjugations.…

We prove the following theorem. Let $G$ be a finite group generated by unitary reflections in a complex Hermitian space $V=\mathbb{C}^\ell$ and let $G'$ be any reflection subgroup of $G$. Let $\mathcal{H}(G)$ be the space of $G$-harmonic…

Consider a normal projective variety $X$, a linear algebraic subgroup $G$ of Aut($X$), and the field $K$ of $G$-invariant rational functions on $X$. We show that the subgroup of Aut($X$) that fixes $K$ pointwise is linear algebraic. If $K$…
