The author determines the structure of automorphism groups of smooth plane curves of degree at least four. Furthermore, he gives some upper bounds for the order of automorphism groups of smooth plane curves and classifies the cases with…
This paper is devoted to the proof of the property of order separability for free product of free groups with maximal cyclic amalgamated subgroups.
We determine the structure of automorphism group or each nonsplit metacyclic 2-group. This completes the work on automorphism groups of metacyclic $p$-groups.
Our main contributions can be divided in three parts: (1) Fixpoint extensions of first-order logic: we give a precise syntactic and semantic characterization of the relationship between $\mathrm{FO(TC^1)}$ and $\mathrm{FO(LFP)}$; (2)…
The purpose of this paper is to present the structure of the linear codes over a finite field with q elements that have a permutation automorphism of order m. These codes can be considered as generalized quasi-cyclic codes. Quasi-cyclic…
We improve on earlier results on the closure under free products of the class of automaton semigroups. We consider partial automata and show that the free product of two self-similar semigroups (or automaton semigroups) is self-similar (an…
Given two automorphisms of a group $G$, one is interested in knowing whether they are conjugate in the automorphism group of $G$, or in the abstract commensurator of $G$, and how these two properties may differ. When $G$ is the fundamental…
This paper investigates conditions under which a given automorphism of a residually torsion-free nilpotent group respects some ordering of the group. For free groups and surface groups, this has relevance to ordering the fundamental groups…
In this paper we define a way to get a bounded invertible automaton starting from a finite graph. It turns out that the corresponding automaton group is regular weakly branch over its commutator subgroup, contains a free semigroup on two…
We algebraically characterize free by cyclic groups that have coarse medians, and prove that this is equivalent to the a priori stronger properties of being colourable hierarchically hyperbolic groups and being quasi-isometric to CAT(0)…
Let $\mathcal{X}$ be an irreducible algebraic curve defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of characteristic $p>2$. Assume that the $\mathbb{F}_q$-automorphism group of $\mathcal{X}$ admits as an automorphism group the direct product of…
In this paper, we initiate the study of palindromic automorphisms of groups that are free in some variety. More specifically, we define palindromic automorphisms of free nilpotent groups and show that the set of such automorphisms is a…
Let F_{n+m} be the free group of rank n+m, with generators x_1,...,x_{n+m}. An automorphism \phi of F_{n+m} is called partially symmetric if for each 1 \le i \le m, \phi(x_i) is conjugate to x_j or x_j^{-1} for some 1 \le j \le m. Let…
Gromov asked what a typical (finitely presented) group looks like, and he suggested a way to make the question precise in terms of limiting density. The typical finitely generated group is known to share some important properties with the…
We classify real two-dimensional orbits of conformal subgroups such that the orbits contain two circular arcs through a point. Such surfaces must be toric and admit a M\"obius automorphism group of dimension at least two. Our theorem…
For $N\geq 4$, we show that there exist automorphisms of the free group $F_N$ which have a parabolic orbit in $\partial F_N$. In fact, we exhibit a technology for producing infinitely many such examples.
In two previous papers we constructed new families of completely regular codes by concatenation methods. Here we determine cases in which the new codes are completely transitive. For these cases we also find the automorphism groups of such…
We show that all finitely generated free-by-cyclic groups are conjugacy separable: if a finitely generated group $G$ surjects onto $\mathbb{Z}$ with free kernel, then for every pair of non-conjugate elements $g,h\in G$, there exists a…
Based on a general theory of descendant trees of finite p-groups and the virtual periodicity isomorphisms between the branches of a coclass subtree, the behavior of algebraic invariants of the tree vertices and their automorphism groups…
