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…

Two distinct projections of finite rank $m$ are adjacent if their difference is an operator of rank two or, equivalently, the intersection of their images is $(m-1)$-dimensional. We extend this adjacency relation on other conjugacy classes…

We describe the full automorphism group of the directed reduced power graph and the undirected reduced power graph of a finite group. We compute the full automorphism groups of these graphs of several classes of finite groups. Also, we…

Let F_{n+m} be the free group of rank n+m, with generators x_1,...,x_{n+m}. An automorphism \phi of F_{n+m} is called partially symmetric if for each 1 \le i \le m, \phi(x_i) is conjugate to x_j or x_j^{-1} for some 1 \le j \le m. Let…

To a weighted graph can be associated a bipartite graph planar algebra P. We construct and study the symmetric enveloping inclusion of P. We show that this construction is equivariant with respect to the automorphism group of P. The…

We consider the graph whose vertex set is a conjugacy class ${\mathcal C}$ consisting of finite-rank self-adjoint operators on a complex Hilbert space $H$. The dimension of $H$ is assumed to be not less than $3$. In the case when operators…

An automorphism of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a bijective map $\phi$ from $V$ to itself such that $\phi(v_i)\phi(v_j)\in E$ $\Leftrightarrow$ $v_i v_j\in E$ for any two vertices $v_i$ and $v_j$. Denote by $\mathfrak{G}$ the group consisting of…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero, $K[x,y]$ be the polynomial ring in two variables. Let $\phi=(f, g)$ be an endomorphism of $K[x,y]$. It is proved that if $\phi$ maps each coordinate to a generator of some proper retract, then it…

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…

Let $V$ be a quasiprojective variety defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$, and let $\phi:V\rightarrow V$ be an endomorphism of $V$ that is also defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$. Let $G$ be a finite subgroup of $\operatorname{Aut}_{\mathbb{F}_q}(V)$ with…

Given an endomorphism $\varphi: G \to G$ on a group $G$, one can define the Reidemeister number $R(\varphi) \in \mathbb{N} \cup \{\infty\}$ as the number of twisted conjugacy classes. The corresponding Reidemeister zeta function…

We construct k-parameter families of rational surface automorphisms for any k. These are automorphisms of surfaces X, which are constructed from iterated blowups over the projective plane. In certain cases: we are able to determine the…

In this paper we combine many of the standard and more recent algebraic techniques for testing isomorphism of finite groups (GpI) with combinatorial techniques that have typically been applied to Graph Isomorphism. In particular, we show…

One exact and two heuristic algorithms for determining the generators, orbits and order of the graph automorphism group are presented. A basic tool of these algorithms is the well-known individualization and refinement procedure. A search…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated group with an automorphism $\varphi\in{\rm Aut}(G)$, or an outer automorphism $\phi\in{\rm Out}(G)$. Suppose that $G$ decomposes into simpler pieces on which the growth behaviour of $\varphi$ and $\phi$ is…

Bergman has given the following abstract characterisation of the inner automorphisms of a group $G$: they are exactly those automorphisms of $G$ which can be extended functorially along any homomorphism $G \rightarrow H$ to an automorphism…

We compute the set of naive pointed homotopy classes of endomorphisms of the projective line P^1 over the spectrum of a field. Our computation compares well with Fabien Morel's one of the motivic pointed homotopy classes of endomorphisms of…

We present a new algorithm for computing the endomorphism ring of an ordinary abelian surface over a finite field which is subexponential and generalizes an algorithm of Bisson and Sutherland for elliptic curves. The correctness of this…

For a locally finite, connected graph $\Gamma$, let $\operatorname{Map}(\Gamma)$ denote the group of proper homotopy equivalences of $\Gamma$ up to proper homotopy. Excluding sporadic cases, we show $\operatorname{Aut}(S(M_\Gamma)) \cong…

For a mixing shift of finite type, the associated automorphism group has a rich algebraic structure, and yet we have few criteria to distinguish when two such groups are isomorphic. We introduce a stabilization of the automorphism group,…
