This is a systematic exposition of recent results which completely describe the group of automorphisms and the group of autoequivalences of generic analytic K3 surfaces. These groups, hard to determine in the algebraic case, admit a good…

This paper is concerned with analysis on metric spaces in a variety of settings and with several kinds of structure.

Structures of commuting semigroups of isometries under certain additional assumptions like double commutativity or dual double commutativity are found.

We prove that the quotient map from Aut(F_n) to Out(F_n) induces an isomorphism on homology in dimension i for n at least 2i+4. This corrects an earlier proof by the first author and significantly improves the stability range. In the course…

This is a survey of some problems in geometric group theory which I find interesting. The problems are from different areas of group theory. Each section is devoted to problems in one area. It contains an introduction where I give some…

In this paper, we determine the derivation algebra and automorphism group of the twisted N=2 superconformal algebra. Then we generalize the relative results to the generalized twisted N=2 superconformal algebra in the final section.

For a coefficient free cluster algebra $\mathcal{A}$, we study the cluster automorphism group $Aut(\mathcal{A})$ and the automorphism group $Aut(E_{\mathcal{A}})$ of its exchange graph $E_{\mathcal{A}}$. We show that these two groups are…

The aim of this paper is to present the main constructions of the substructures of an almost groupoid and to discuss their basic properties. The definitions and properties concerning these new algebraic constructions extend to almost…

The automorphism groups ${\rm Aut\,}A_n$ and ${\rm Aut\,}W_n$ of the polynomial algebra $A_n=C[x_1,x_2,\cdots, x_n]$ and the rank $n$ Witt algebra $W_n={\rm Der\,}A_n$ are studied in this paper. It is well-known that ${\rm Aut\,}A_n$ for…

Given a short exact sequence of groups with certain conditions, $1\to F\to G\to H\to 1$, we prove that $G$ has solvable conjugacy problem if and only if the corresponding action subgroup $A\leqslant Aut(F)$ is orbit decidable. From this, we…

We present an identification theorem for the groups $F_4(2)$ and $Aut(F_4(2))$ based on the structure of the centralizer of an element of order 3.

An axiomatic approach to the representation theory of Coxeter groups and their Hecke algebras was presented in [1]. Combinatorial aspects of this construction are studied in this paper. In particular, the symmetric group case is…

In this note we show that the known relation between double groupoids and matched pairs of groups may be extended, or seems to extend, to the triple case. The references give some other occurrences of double groupoids.

We derive a formula connecting the orders of the automorphism groups of a finite group and of its covering groups.

In this note, we consider models in $\mathbb C^2$. The purpose of this note is twofold. We first show a characterization of models in $\mathbb C^2$ by their noncompact automorphism groups. Then we give an explicit description for…

Let $F$ be a perfect field and $M^*(F)$ the nonassociative simple Moufang loop consisting of the units in the (unique) split octonion algebra $O(F)$ modulo the center. Then $Aut(M^*(F))$ is equal to $G_2(F) \rtimes Aut(F)$. In particular,…

We treat the higher-dimensional Elekes-Szab\'o problem in the case of the action of Aut(C^2) on C^2.

We classify closed abelian subgroups of the simple groups $G_2$, $F_4$, $Aut(so(8))$ having centralizer the same dimension as the dimension of the subgroup, as well as finite abelian subgroups of certain spin and half-spin groups having…

Let $S$ be a Suzuki group $^2B_2(q^2)$, where $q^2=2^{2f+1}$, $f\geqslant 1$. In this paper, we determine the degrees of the ordinary complex irreducible characters of every group $G$ such that $S\leqslant G\leqslant \Aut(S)$.

Consider a smooth connected algebraic group $G$ acting on a normal projective variety $X$ with an open dense orbit. We show that Aut($X$) is a linear algebraic group if so is $G$; for an arbitrary $G$, the group of components of Aut($X$) is…
