Let $A$ be an $n$-dimensional algebra over a field $k$ and $a(A)$ its quantum symmetry semigroup. We prove that the automorphisms group ${\rm Aut}_{\rm Alg} (A)$ of $A$ is isomorphic to the group $U \bigl( G(a (A)^{\rm o} ) \bigl)$ of all…

Let A denote either the automorphism group of the free group of rank n>=4 or the mapping class group of an orientable surface of genus n>=12 with at most 1 boundary component, and let G be either the subgroup of IA-automorphisms or the…

Let $G$ be a group. An element $g \in G$ is called a test element of $G$ if for every endomorphism $\varphi:G \to G$, $\varphi(g)=g$ implies that $\varphi$ is an automorphism. We prove that for a finitely generated profinite group $G$, $g…

Let A be an associative algebra of arbitrary dimension over a field F and G a finite soluble group of automorphisms of A oforder n, prime to the characteristic of F. We prove that if the fixed-point subalgebra of A under the action of G…

In this paper we study the longstanding conjecture of whether there exists a noninner automorphism of order $p$ for a finite non-abelian $p$-group. We prove that if $G$ is a finite non-abelian $p$-group such that $G/Z(G)$ is powerful then…

Let $G$ be a finite group admitting a coprime automorphism $\phi$ of order $n$. Denote by $G_{\phi}$ the centralizer of $\phi$ in $G$ and by $G_{-\phi}$ the set $\{ x^{-1}x^{\phi}; \ x\in G\}$. We prove the following results. 1. If every…

We study a class of finite groups $G$ which behave similarly to elementary abelian $p$-groups with $p$ prime, that is, there exists a subgroup $N$ such that all elements of $G\setminus N$ are conjugate or inverse-conjugate under $\Aut(G)$.…

Let $G$ be a group. The orbits of the natural action of $\Aut(G)$ on $G$ are called "automorphism orbits" of $G$, and the number of automorphism orbits of $G$ is denoted by $\omega(G)$. Let $G$ be a virtually nilpotent group such that…

The functions $F_{G}(n)$ measures the asymptotic behavior of residual finiteness for a finitely generated group $G$. In previous work \cite{Pengitore_1}, the author claimed a characterization for $F_{N}(n)$ when $N$ is a finitely generated…

For an element $g$ of a group $G$, an Engel sink is a subset $\mathcal{E}(g)$ such that for every $ x\in G $ all sufficiently long commutators $ [x,g,g,\ldots,g] $ belong to $\mathcal{E}(g)$. We conjecture that if $G$ is a profinite group…

A finitely generated group G is termed parafree if it is residually nilpotent and it has the same isomorphism types of nilpotent quotients as some free group. The two main results of this MSc. Thesis characterise the parafreeness of two…

Let $\mathfrak{Nil}$ be the class of nilpotent groups and $G$ be a group. We call $G$ a meta-$\mathfrak{Nil}$-Hamiltonian group if any of its non-$\mathfrak{Nil}$ subgroups is normal. Also, we call $G$ a para-$\mathfrak{Nil}$-Hamiltonian…

A virtual endomorphism of a group G is a homomorphism f from H into G where H is a subgroup of G of finite index m. The triple (G,H,f) produces a state-closed (or, self-similar) representation t of G on the 1-rooted m-ary tree. This paper…

Suppose $G$ is a $\mathcal{T}$-group (finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent) with centralizers outside of the derived subgroup being abelian of rank equal to $\text{rank}(Z_1)+1$. This includes the class of free nilpotent groups…

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…

Let $G$ and $H$ be groups that act compatibly on each other. We denote by $\eta(G,H)$ a certain extension of the non-abelian tensor product $G \otimes H$ by $G \times H$. Suppose that $G$ is residually finite and the subgroup $[G,H] =…

Let $p$ be a prime number. A longstanding conjecture asserts that every finite non-abelian $p$-group has a non-inner automorphism of order $p$. In this paper, we prove that if $G$ is an odd order finite non-abelian monolithic $p$-group such…

The main result of this paper is the following theorem. Let q be a prime, A an elementary abelian group of order q^3. Suppose that A acts as a coprime group of automorphisms on a profinite group G in such a manner that C_G(a)' is periodic…

A nilpotent quandle is a quandle whose inner automorphism group is nilpotent. Such quandles have been called reductive in previous works, but it turns out that their behaviour is in fact very close to nilpotency for groups. In particular,…

A connected Lie group admitting an expansive automorphism is known to be nilpotent, but all nilpotent Lie groups do not admit expansive automorphism. In this article, we find sufficient conditions for a class of nilpotent Lie groups to…
