A complete classification is given of finite groups whose elements are partitioned into three orbits by the automorphism groups, solving the long-standing classification problem initiated by G. Higman in 1963. As a consequence, a…

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.

We will show that every element of a finitely generated abelian group is automorphically equivalent what we will define to be a {\em representative element} in a {\em repeat-free subgroup}, and for finite abelian groups we can count the…

We characterize finite $p$-groups $G$ of order up to $p^7$ for which the group of central automorphisms fixing the center element-wise is of minimum possibe order.

A rigid automorphism of a linking system is an automorphism which restricts to the identity on the Sylow subgroup. A rigid inner automorphism is conjugation by an element in the center of the Sylow subgroup. At odd primes, it is known that…

The present work investigates regular, semiregular, and chiral polytopes of any rank $d\geq 3$, whose automorphism groups are 2-groups. There is a large variety of rather small finite regular or alternating semiregular polytopes with…

This paper concerns finite groups of class (at most) two and of odd prime exponent $p$. Such a group is called special if the center lies within its derived group. Every group of class 2 and exponent $p$ can be uniquely expressed as the…

For a big class of commutative rings R every continuous R-automorphism of R[[X_1,...,X_n]] with the identity linear part is in the commutator subgroup of Aut(R[[X_1,...,X_n]]). An explicit bound for the number of the involved commutators…

A loop $(Q,\cdot,\backslash,/)$ is called a middle Bol loop if it obeys the identity $x(yz\backslash x)=(x/z)(y\backslash x)$. To every right (left) Bol loop corresponds a middle Bol loop via an isostrophism. In this paper, the structure of…

Let $L_{n}$ be the free Lie algebra, $F_{n}$ be the free metabelian Lie algebra, and $L_{n,c}$ be the free metabelian nilpotent of class $c$ Lie algebra of rank $n$ generated by $x_1,\ldots,x_n$ over a field $K$ of characteristic zero. We…

If $p$ is prime, a compact Riemann surface $X$ of genus $g\geq 2$ is called cyclic $p$-gonal if it admits a cyclic group of automorphisms $C_{p}$ of order $p$ such that the quotient space $X/C_{p}$ has genus 0. If in addition $C_{p}$ is not…

According to Li, Nicholson and Zan, a group $G$ is said to be morphic if, for every pair $N_{1}, N_{2}$ of normal subgroups, each of the conditions $G/N_{1} \cong N_{2}$ and $G/N_{2} \cong N_{1}$ implies the other. Finite, homocyclic…

Let $G$ be a finite group minimally generated by $d(G)$ elements and $\Aut_c(G)$ denote the group of all (conjugacy) class-preserving automorphisms of $G$. Continuing our work [Class preserving automorphisms of finite $p$-groups, J. London…

We solve a problem in enumerative combinatorics which is equivalent to counting topological types of certain group actions on compact Riemann surfaces. Let $V_2(F_p)$ be the two-dimensional vector space over $F_p$, the field with $p$…

Let $L$ be an algebra over a field $F$ with the binary operations $+$ and $[,]$. Then $L$ is called a left Leibniz algebra if it satisfies the left Leibniz identity: $[[a,b],c]=[a,[b,c]]-[b,[a,c]]$ for all elements $a,b,c\in L$. A linear…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $p>0$. We discuss the automorphisms of the polynomial ring $k[x_1,\ldots ,x_n]$ of order $p$, or equivalently the ${\bf Z}/p{\bf Z}$-actions on the affine space ${\bf A}_k^n$. When $n=2$, such an…

A conjecture of Berkovich asserts that every non-simple finite p-group has a non-inner automorphism of order p. This conjecture is far from being proved despite the great effort devoted to it. In this paper we prove it for p-groups of…

Let $\mathcal{L}$ be a centric linking system associated to a saturated fusion system on a finite $p$-group $S$. An automorphism of $\mathcal{L}$ is said to be rigid if it restricts to the identity on the fusion system. An inner rigid…

We give a complete list of all the 70 class two groups of exponent p (p>2) and order p^k for k<9. For each of these groups the number of conjugacy classes is a polynomial in p, and the order of the automorphism group is a polynomial in p.…

If $f(p, n)$ is the number of pairwise nonisomorphic groups of order $p^n$, and $g(p,n)$ is the number of groups of order $p^n$ whose automorphism group is a $p$-group, then, for $n \leq 7$, we prove that the ratio $g(p,n)/f (p,n)$ is…
