We describe the outer automorphism group of a one-ended fundamental group of a graph of groups, when edge groups are cyclic, and vertex groups are torsion-free with cyclic centralizers. We show that in this case the outer automorphism group…

We study the speed of growth of iterates of outer automorphisms of virtually special groups, in the Haglund-Wise sense. We show that each automorphism grows either polynomially or exponentially, and that its stretch factor is an algebraic…

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 characterize all finite p-groups G of order p^n(n\leq 6), where p is a prime for n\leq 5 and an odd prime for n = 6, such that the center of the inner automorphism group of G is equal to the group of central automorphisms of G.

Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a Lie group with solvable connected component and finitely-generated component group and $\alpha\in H^2(\mathbb{G},\mathbb{S}^1)$ a cohomology class. We prove that if $(\mathbb{G},\alpha)$ is of type I then the same…

We show in this article that, for any group $G$ indecomposable for the free product * and non-isomorphic to $\mathbf{Z}$, the canonical inclusion ${\rm Aut}(G^{*n})\to {\rm Aut}(G^{* n+1})$ induces an isomorphism between the homology groups…

In adjoint reductive groups $H$ of type $\mathsf{D}$ we show that for every semisimple element $s$, its centralizer splits over its connected component, i.e., $C_H(s) = C_H(s)^\circ \rtimes \check A$ for some complement $\check A$ with…

If $Q$ is a group acting as a group of automorphisms of another group $G$ (with finite orbits), denote by $C_*(G)^Q$ the subcomplex of $Q$-invariant chains in the bar complex $C_*(G)$. In this paper, we study the homology of the complex…

We study the subvariety of fixed points of an automorphism of a Calogero-Moser space induced by a regular element of finite order of the normalizer of the associated complex reflection group $W$. We determine some of (and conjecturally all)…

We show that the finitely generated simple left orderable groups $G_{\rho}$ constructed by the first two authors in arXiv:1807.06478 are uniformly perfect - each element in the group can be expressed as a product of three commutators of…

We investigate the action of the automorphism group of an acylindrically hyperbolic group G on its space of homogeneous quasimorphisms, and identify its kernel with the subgroup of "strongly commensurating" automorphisms. We deduce that if…

The holomorph of a discrete group $G$ is the universal semi-direct product of $G$. In chapter 1 we describe why it is an interesting object and state main results. In chapter 2 we recall the classical definition of the holomorph as well as…

Extending well-known results on surfaces, we give bounds on the cohomological action of automorphisms of compact K\"ahler threefolds. More precisely, if the action is virtually unipotent we prove that the norm of $(f^n)^*$ grows at most as…

We study the outer automorphism group of a right-angled Artin group A_G in the case where the defining graph G is connected and triangle-free. We give an algebraic description of Out(A_G) in terms of maximal join subgraphs in G and prove…

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…

The inner automorphisms of a group G can be characterized within the category of groups without reference to group elements: they are precisely those automorphisms of G that can be extended, in a functorial manner, to all groups H given…

We show that for any $n$-ary group $(G,f)$, the group $Aut(G,f)$ can be embedded in $Aut(\mathbb{Z}_{n-1}\ltimes G)$ and so we can obtain a class of interesting automorphisms of cyclic extensions.

Let G be an abelian p-group sum of finite homocyclic groups Gi. Here, we determine in which cases the automorphism group of G splits over ker(h), where h: Aut(G)-->Xi Aut(Gi/pGi) is the natural epimorphism.

Given an affine algebraic variety $X$, we prove that if the neutral component $\mathrm{Aut}^\circ(X)$ of the automorphism group consists of algebraic elements, then it is nested, i.e., is a direct limit of algebraic subgroups. This improves…

In this paper we present some algebraic properties of subgroupoids and normal subgroupoids. We define the normalizer of a wide subgroupoid $\mathcal{H}$ and show that, as in the case of groups, the normalizer is the greatest wide…
