Let $G$ be a simple and simply connected algebraic group over a field of characteristic $p>0$, and $G_r$ its $r$-th Frobenius kernel. In this paper, we initiate a general study of $\text{Dist}(G_r)^T$, the subalgebra of $\text{Dist}(G_r)$…

Assuming G\"{o}del's axiom of constructibility $\bold V=\bold L,$ we present a characterization of those groups $L$ for which there exist arbitrarily large groups $H$ such that $aut(H) \cong L$. In particular, we show that it suffices to…

We give elementary proofs of the following two theorems on automorphisms of a finite group G: (1) An automorphism of G is inner if and only if it extends to an automorphism of every finite group containing G. (2) There exists a finite…

If T is an algebraic torus defined over a discretely valued field K with perfect residue field k, we relate the K-cohomology of T to the k-cohomology of certain objects associated to T. When k has cohomological dimension <= 1, our results…

Suppose $F$ is either a global field or a finitely generated extension of ${\mathbf Q}$, $A$ is an abelian variety over $F$, and $\ell$ is a prime not equal to the characteristic of $F$. Let $Z$ denote the center of the endomorphism algebra…

Let $E_G$ be a holomorphic principal $G$-bundle on a compact connected Riemann surface $X$, where $G$ is a connected reductive complex affine algebraic group. Fix a finite subset $D \subset X$, and for each $x\in D$ fix $w_x \in…

Let $G$ be a simply connected semisimple algebraic group over $\mathbb{C}$ and let $\rho :G\rightarrow GL(V_\lambda)$ be an irreducible representation of highest weight $\lambda$. Suppose that $\rho$ has finite kernel. Springer defined…

We give a detailed description of the algebraic group Aut(g) of automorphisms of a simple finite dimensional Lie superalgebra g over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0. We also give a description of the group of…

An automorphism $\alpha$ of a group $G$ is called a commuting automorphism if each element $x$ in $G$ commutes with its image $\alpha(x)$ under $\alpha$. Let $A(G)$ denote the set of all commuting automorphisms of $G$. Rai [Proc. Japan…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic $p>0$ and $C \to {\mathbb P}^1_k$ a $p$-cyclic cover of the projective line ramified in exactly one point. We are interested in the $p$-part of the full automorphism group…

We look at the centralizer in a semisimple algebraic group $G$ of a regular nilpotent element, and show that its closure in the wonderful compactification is isomorphic to the Peterson variety. It follows that the closure in the wonderful…

By an automorphism of a topological group G we mean an isomorphism of G onto itself which is also a homeomorphism. In this article, we study the automorphism group Aut(G) of a dense subgroup G of R^n, n>=1. We show that Aut(G) can be…

Bergman has given the following abstract characterisation of the inner automorphisms of a group $G$: they are exactly those automorphisms of $G$ which can be extended functorially along any homomorphism $G \rightarrow H$ to an automorphism…

Consider a tree $\mathbb T$, all whose vertices have countable valence; its boundary is the Baire space $\mathbb{B} \simeq\mathbb{N}^{\mathbb N}$; continued fractions expansions identify the set of irrational numbers $\mathbb{R}\setminus…

The moduli space for a flat G-bundle over the two-torus is completely determined by its holonomy representation. When G is compact, connected, and simply connected, we show that the moduli space is homeomorphic to a product of two tori mod…

We explicitly determine the automorphism groups of all self-similar trees (a.k.a. trees with finitely many cone types). We show that any such automorphism group is a direct limit of certain finite products of finite symmetric groups, which…

We prove a purely topological characterization of the Moufang property for disconnected compact polygons in terms of convergence groups. As a consequence, we recover the fact that a locally finite thick affine building of rank 3 is a…

There are various results in the literature which are part of the general philosophy that a finite group for which a certain parameter (for example, the number of conjugacy classes or the maximum number of elements inverted, squared or…

We show that the topological full group of a Hausdorff ample groupoid with compact unit space coincides with the group of homotopy classes of invertible isometries in pseudofunction algebras associated with the groupoid. Moreover, if the…
