We determine the quantum automorphism groups of finite graphs. These are quantum subgroups of the quantum permutation groups defined by Wang. The quantum automorphism group is a stronger invariant for finite graphs than the usual one. We…
We prove that the isomorphism problem for finitely generated fully residually free groups is decidable. We also show that each finitely generated fully residually free group G has a decomposition that is invariant under automorphisms of G,…
For each finite classical group $G$, we classify the subgroups of $G$ which act transitively on a $G$-invariant set of subspaces of the natural module, where the subspaces are either totally isotropic or nondegenerate. Our proof uses the…
We investigate the relationship between finite groups and incidence geometries through their automorphism structures. Building upon classical results on the realizability of groups as automorphism groups of graphs, we develop a general…
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…
Some new results on metric ultraproducts of finite simple groups are presented. Suppose that G is such a group, defined in terms of a non-principal ultrafilter {\omega} on N and a sequence {(G_i)_{i \in N}} of finite simple groups, and that…
The goal of this paper is to construct and describe certain arithmetic subgroups of the automorphism group of a partially commutative group. More precisely, given an arbitrary finite graph $\Gamma$ we construct an arithmetic subgroup…
In this paper we prove that every finite group $G$ can be realized as the group of self-homotopy equivalences of infinitely many elliptic spaces $X$. Moreover, $X$ can be chosen to be the rationalization of an inflexible compact simply…
A family $\mathcal L$ of subsets of a set $X$ is called linked if $A\cap B\ne\emptyset$ for any $A,B\in\mathcal L$. A linked family $\mathcal M$ of subsets of $X$ is maximal linked if $\mathcal M$ coincides with each linked family $\mathcal…
Let $\C(\Gamma)$ be the set of isomorphism classes of the finite groups that are homomorphic images of $\Gamma$. We investigate the extent to which $\C(\Gamma)$ determines $\Gamma$ when $\Gamma$ is a group of geometric interest. If…
In this paper, we assume that $G$ is a finitely generated torsion free non-elementary Kleinian group with $\Omega(G)$ nonempty. We show that the maximal number of elements of $G$ that can be pinched is precisely the maximal number of rank 1…
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…
Let $G$ be a group that is relatively hyperbolic with respect to a collection of subgroups $\{H_{\lambda}\}_{\lambda\in \Lambda}$. Suppose that $G$ is given by a finite relative presentation $\mathcal{P}$ with respect to this collection. We…
By a covering of a group G we mean an epimorphism from a group F to G. Introducing the notion of strong covering as a covering pi:F-->G such that every automorphism of G is a projection via pi of an automorphism of F, the main aim of this…
An isomorphism between the group ring of a finite group and a ring of certain block diagonal matrices is established. The group ring $RG$ of a finite group $G$ is isomorphic to the set of {\em group ring matrices} over $R$. It is shown that…
If $G$ is a group and $S$ a generating set, $G$ canonically embeds into the automorphism group of its Cayley graph and it is natural to try to minimize, over all generating sets, the index of this inclusion. This infimum is called the…
If $G$ is a semisimple Lie group of real rank at least 2 and $\Gamma$ is an irreducible lattice in $G$, then every homomorphism from $\Gamma$ to the outer automorphism group of a finitely generated free group has finite image.
Given an evolution algebra associated to a connected finite graph $\Gamma$, we exhibit a free action of the group of symmetries of $\Gamma$ on the set of automorphisms of the algebra. This allows us to explicitly describe this set and we…
We show that if $\cal S$ is a compact Riemann surface of genus $g = p+1$, where $p$ is prime, with a group of automorphisms $G$ such that $|G|\geq\lambda(g-1)$ for some real number $\lambda>6$, then for all sufficiently large $p$ (depending…
We prove that, to every abstract group $G$, we can associate a sequence of graphs $\Gamma_n$ such that the automorphism group of $\Gamma_n$ is isomorphic to $G$ and the genus of $\Gamma_n$ is an unbounded function of $n$.
