Let $G$ be a finite group and $M,N$ be two normal subgroups of $G$. Let $Aut_N^M(G)$ denote the group of all automorphisms of $G$ which fix $N$ element wise and act trivially on $G/M$. Let $n$ be a positive integer. In this article we have…

We study the action of the group of polynomial automorphisms of C^n (n>2) which preserve the Markoff-Hurwitz polynomial H(x):= x_1^2 + x_2^2 + ... + x_n^2 - x_1 x_2 ... x_n. Our main results include the determination of the group, the…

We establish that the set of local automorphisms $\textrm{LAut}(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ is the group $\textrm{Aut}^{\pm}(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ of all automorphisms and anti-automorphisms. For $n\geq 3$ we prove that anti-automorphisms are local…

A monomial algebra B is defined as a quotient of a polynomial ring by a monomial ideal, which is an ideal generated by a finite set of monomials. In this paper, we determine the automorphism group of a monomial algebra B, under the…

We develop techniques for computing the AK invariant of a domain with arbitrary characteristic. We use these techniques to describe for any field $K$ the automorphism group of $K[X,Y,Z]/(X^n Y - Z^2 - h(X)Z)$, where $h(0) \ne 0$ and $n \geq…

This research was motivated by universal algebraic geometry. One of the central questions of universal algebraic geometry is: when two algebras have the same algebraic geometry? For answer of this question (see [Pl],[Ts]) we must consider…

Let $\mathcal{A} = {A_1, ..., A_k}$ be a system of free factors of $F_n$. The group of relative automorphisms $\mathrm{Aut}(F_n; \mathcal{A})$ is the group given by the automorphisms of $F_n$ that restricted to each $A_i$ are conjugations…

The paper follows two interconnected directions. 1. Let $G$ be a Roelcke precompact closed subgroup of the group $\Sym(\omega)$ of permutations of the natural numbers. Then $\Inn(G)$ is closed in $\Aut(G)$, where $\Aut(G)$ carries the…

We characterize the irreducible polynomials that occur as a characteristic polynomial of an automorphism of an even unimodular lattice of given signature, generalizing a theorem of Gross and McMullen. As part of the proof, we give a general…

Let $Ab_0$ be the class of finite abelian groups and consider the function $f:Ab_0\longrightarrow(0,\infty)$ given by $f(G)=\frac{|{\rm Aut}(G)|}{|G|}$\,, where ${\rm Aut}(G)$ is the automorphism group of a finite abelian group $G$. In this…

Let $0 \to A \to L \to B \to 0$ be a short exact sequence of Lie algebras over a field $F$, where $A$ is abelian. We show that the obstruction for a pair of automorphisms in $\Aut(A) \times \Aut(B)$ to be induced by an automorphism in…

For any algebraically closed field $K$ and any endomorphism $f$ of $\mathbb{P}^1(K)$ of degree at least 2, the automorphisms of $f$ are the M\"obius transformations that commute with $f$, and these form a finite subgroup of…

The Cayley-Dickson loop Q_n is the multiplicative closure of basic elements of the algebra constructed by n applications of the Cayley-Dickson doubling process (the first few examples of such algebras are real numbers, complex numbers,…

We describe the groups of inner and outer automorphisms of the free metabelian nilpotent Lie algebra of finite rank over a field of characteristic 0. To obtain this result we first describe the groups of inner and continuous outer…

We prove that an invariant subalgebra A_n^W of the Weyl algebra A_n is a Galois order over an adequate commutative subalgebra \Gamma when W is a two-parameters irreducible unitary reflection group G(m,1,n), m\geq 1, n\geq 1, including the…

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,…

Suppose that R is an ordered ring, G_n(R) is a subsemigroup of $GL_n(R)$, consisting of all matrices with nonnegative elements. A.V. Mikhalev and M.A. Shatalova described all automorphisms of G_n(R), where R is a linearly ordered skewfield…

For an epimorphism pi of the free group F_n onto a finite group G write Gamma(G,pi) for the group of all automorphisms f of F_n for which pi*f = pi. This is called the standard congruence subgroup of Aut(F_n) associated to G and pi. In the…

We propose a definition by generators and relations of the rank $n-2$ Askey-Wilson algebra $\mathfrak{aw}(n)$ for any integer $n$, generalising the known presentation for the usual case $n=3$. The generators are indexed by connected subsets…

In previous work, the author proved that there is a countably infinite family of N=2 superconformal equivalence classes of DeWitt N=2 superconformal super-Riemann surfaces with closed, genus-zero body. In this paper, we determine the…
