Let G be a free group in a variety of groups, but G is not absolutely free. We prove that the group of automorphisms Aut(G) is linear iff G is a virtually nilpotent group.

We introduce a strategy to study irreducible representations of automorphism groups of finite modules over local rings. We prove that these automorphism groups fit in a hierarchy that facilitates a stratification of their irreducible…

Let $M$ be a Fra\"iss\'e structure (a countably infinite ultrahomogeneous structure). We call an embedding $f : A \to M$ extensive if each automorphism of its image extends to an automorphism of $M$, where the extension map respects…

We study compact complex manifolds $M$ admitting a conformal holomorphic Riemannian structure invariant under the action of a complex semi-simple Lie group $G$. We prove that if the group $G$ acts transitively and essentially, then $M$ is…

Let $\mathcal M$ be a compact complex supermanifold. We prove that the set $\mathrm{Aut}_{\bar 0}(\mathcal M)$ of automorphisms of $\mathcal M$ can be endowed with the structure of a complex Lie group acting holomorphically on $\mathcal M$,…

If an automorphism f of a structure M is such that fix(f^k) = fix(f) for all positive k, then M|fix(f) is a substructure of M. The possible isomorphism types of such M|fix(f) are characterized when M is countable and arithmetically…

We prove that any isometry of the graph of cyclic splittings of a finitely generated free group $F_N$ of rank $N\ge 3$ is induced by an outer automorphism of $F_N$. The same statement also applies to the graphs of maximally-cyclic…

We show that the countable universal homogeneous meet-tree has a generic automorphism, but it does not have a generic pair of automorphisms.

Let S be any orientable surface of infinite genus with a finite number of boundary components. In this work we consider the curve complex C(S), the nonseparating curve complex N(S) and the Schmutz graph G(S) of S. When all the topological…

The purpose of this paper is to constructively develop a Galois theory on irreducible shifts of finite type (SFTs) and to analyze the automorphism groups of SFTs using this framework. Let $X$ and $Y$ be irreducible SFTs. We demonstrate that…

It is proved that the generalized cluster complex defined by Fomin and Reading has a dihedral symmetry. Together with diagram symmetries, they generate its automorphism group. A consequence is a simple explicit formula for the order of this…

A classical theorem states that the group of automorphisms of a manifold $M$ preserving a $G$-structure of finite type is a Lie group. We generalize this statement to the category of $cs$ manifolds and give some examples, some of which…

It is proven that the identity component of the group preserving the leaves of a generalized foliation is perfect. This shows that a well-known simplicity theorem on the diffeomorphism group extends to the nontransitive case.

We prove structure theorems for the moduli stack of elliptic curves equipped with $G$-structures, where $G$ is a finite 2-generated metabelian group. In particular, we show that if $G$ has exponent $e$, then there is a subgroup $H\le…

The spectrum of a finite group is the set of its element orders, and two groups are said to be isospectral if they have the same spectra. A finite group $G$ is said to be recognizable by spectrum, if every finite group isospectral with $G$…

Last years a number of papers were devoted to describing automorphisms of semigroups of endomorphisms of free finitely generated universal algebras of some varieties: groups, semigroups, associative commutative algebras, inverse semigroups,…

We prove a new automorphy lifting theorem for l-adic representations where we impose a new condition at l, which we call `potential diagonalizability'. This result allows for `change of weight' and seems to be substantially more flexible…

We prove a general multidimensional invariance principle for a family of U-statistics based on freely independent non-commutative random variables of the type $U_n(S)$, where $U_n(x)$ is the $n$-th Chebyshev polynomial and $S$ is a standard…

Tent and Ziegler proved that the automorphism group of the Urysohn sphere is simple and that the automorphism group of the Urysohn space is simple modulo bounded automorphisms. A key component of their proof is the definition of a…
