The present work completes the classification of the compact Riemann surfaces of genus g with an analytic automorphism of order p (prime number) and p > g. More precisely, we construct a parameteriza- tion space for them, we compute their…

For a curve $X$ of genus $>1$ defined over a finite field, we present a criterion which allows us to state the non existence of automorphisms of order a power of a rational prime. We show how this criterion can be used to determine the…

The groups of order 64p without a normal sylow p-subgroup are listed, and their automorphism groups are also determined. As a by-product of our original effort to get these groups, we needed to determine the automorphism groups of those…

We present a characterisation of groups $G$ of order $p^7$, $p$ prime, in which not all elements of the commutator subgroup $\gamma_2(G)$ of $G$ are commutators in $G$. On the way we obtain several structural results on groups of order…

Associated to a finite graph $X$ is its quantum automorphism group $G$. The main problem is to compute the Poincar\'e series of $G$, meaning the series $f(z)=1+c_1z+c_2z^2+...$ whose coefficients are multiplicities of 1 into tensor powers…

Let $G$ be a finite group admitting a coprime automorphism $\phi$ of order $n$. Denote by $G_{\phi}$ the centralizer of $\phi$ in $G$ and by $G_{-\phi}$ the set $\{ x^{-1}x^{\phi}; \ x\in G\}$. We prove the following results. 1. If every…

We study the automorphisms of modular curves associated to Cartan subgroups of $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z)$ and certain subgroups of their normalizers. We prove that if $n$ is large enough, all the automorphisms are induced by the…

A loop is (right) automorphic if all its (right) inner mappings are automorphisms. Using the classification of primitive groups of small degrees, we show that there is no nonassociative simple commutative automorphic loop of order less than…

It is a simple fact that a group has a trivial automorphism group if and only if it is of order $1$ or $2$. We prove that the same holds for certain families of skew braces, and given any odd prime $p$, we construct a skew brace of order…

In this paper, we determine the automorphism group of the $p$-cones ($p\neq 2$) in dimension greater than two. In particular, we show that the automorphism group of those $p$-cones are the positive scalar multiples of the generalized…

Let $G$ denote a compact monothetic group, and let $$\rho (x) = \alpha_k x^k + \ldots + \alpha_1 x + \alpha_0,$$ where $\alpha_0, \ldots , \alpha_k$ are elements of $G$ one of which is a generator of $G$. Let $(p_n)_{n\geq 1}$ denote the…

Suppose that a finite group $G$ admits an automorphism $\varphi $ of order $2^n$ such that the fixed-point subgroup $C_G(\varphi ^{2^{n-1}})$ of the involution $\varphi ^{2^{n-1}}$ is nilpotent of class $c$. Let $m=|C_G(\varphi)|$ be the…

A fully irreducible outer automorphism phi of the free group F_n of rank n has an expansion factor which often differs from the expansion factor of the inverse of phi. Nevertheless, we prove that the ratio between the logarithms of the…

The main result of the paper is the following theorem. Let $q$ be a prime, $n$ a positive integer and $A$ an elementary abelian group of order $q^2$. Suppose that $A$ acts coprimely on a finite group $G$ and assume that for each $a\in…

In this paper, we investigate the structure of the automorphism groups of pure braid groups. We prove that, for $n>3$, $\Aut(P_n)$ is generated by the subgroup $\Aut_c(P_n)$ of central automorphisms of $P_n$, the subgroup $\Aut(B_n)$ of…

We prove that, for a primitive permutation group G acting on a set of size n, other than the alternating group, the probability that Aut(X,Y^G) = G for a random subset Y of X, tends to 1 as n tends to infinity. So the property of the title…

Let p be a prime number. It is not known if every finite p-group of rank n>1 can be realized as a Galois group over Q with no more than n ramified primes. We prove that this can be done for the family of finite p-groups which contains all…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve of rank $\text{rk}(E) \geq 1$, and let $E(\mathbb{F}_p)$ be the elliptic group of order $\#E(\mathbb{F}_p)=n$. The number of primes $p\leq x$ such that $n$ is prime is expected to be $\pi(x,E)=\delta(E)x/\log^2…

The group of 2-by-2 matrices with integer entries and determinant $\pm > 1$ can be identified either with the group of outer automorphisms of a rank two free group or with the group of isotopy classes of homeomorphisms of a 2-dimensional…

Let $V$ be a projective variety defined over a number field $K$, let $S$ be a polarized set of endomorphisms of $V$ all defined over $K$, and let $P\in V(K)$. For each prime $\mathfrak{p}$ of $K$, let $m_{\mathfrak{p}}(S,P)$ denote the…
