Let $\Z_m$ be the group of residue classes modulo $m$. Let $s(m,n)$ and $c(m,n)$ denote the total number of subgroups of the group $\Z_m \times \Z_n$ and the number of its cyclic subgroups, respectively, where $m$ and $n$ are arbitrary…

Let $F_n$ be the free group on $n\ge 2$ elements and $\A(F_n)$ its group of automorphisms. In this paper we present a rich collection of linear representations of $\A(F_n)$ arising through the action of finite index subgroups of it on…

An automorphism of a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices is a bijective map $\phi$ from $V(G)$ to itself such that $\phi(v_i)\phi(v_j)\in E(G)$ $\Leftrightarrow$ $v_i v_j\in E(G)$ for any two vertices $v_i$ and $v_j$ of $G$. Denote by…

Using the theory of group action, we first introduce the concept of the automorphism group of an exponential family or a graphical model, thus formalizing the general notion of symmetry of a probabilistic model. This automorphism group…

This paper defines and develops cycle indices for the finite classical groups. These tools are then applied to study properties of a random matrix chosen uniformly from one of these groups. Properties studied by this technique will include…

For a subshift over a finite alphabet, a measure of the complexity of the system is obtained by counting the number of nonempty cylinder sets of length $n$. When this complexity grows exponentially, the automorphism group has been shown to…

This paper determines the structure of the automorphism group of the unit group \((U_{p^e}, \cdot)\) and the monoid \((\mathbb{Z}/p^e \mathbb{Z}, \cdot)\). For \( e \geq 5 \), we establish that the automorphism group \( \Aut(U_{2^e}, \cdot)…

An $n\times n$ matrix $M=[m_{ij}]$ with $m_{ij}\in U_n=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ will be called a cycle matrix if $(U_n,\cdot)$ is a cycle set, where $i\cdot j=m_{ij}$. We study these matrices in this article. Using these matrices, we give some…

We show that the holomorph of a cyclic group of order $n$ is isomorphic to its own automophism group when $n$ is twice of a power of an odd prime.

The automorphism group $\operatorname{Aut}(F_n)$ of the free group $F_n$ acts on a space $A_d(n)$ of Jacobi diagrams of degree $d$ on $n$ oriented arcs. We study the $\operatorname{Aut}(F_n)$-module structure of $A_d(n)$ by using two…

Let Zn denote the additive group of residue classes modulo n. Let c(l,m,n) denote the number of cyclic subgroups of Zl *Zm *Zn. For any x > 1, we consider the asymptotic behavior of D3c(x):= \sum_{lmn\leq x} c(l,m,n), obtain an asymptotic…

In this paper we study a certain class of polycyclic groups. We outline a method for constructing a poly-$\mathbb{Z}$ group $G_n$ by describing a process for selecting maps that are used to extend $G_i$ to $G_{i+1}$ for $1 \leq i \leq n-1$…
