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…

For every free product decomposition $G = G_{1} \ast ...\ast G_{q} \ast F_{r}$, where $F_r$ is a finitely generated free group, of a group $G$ of finite Kurosh rank, we can associate some (relative) outer space $\mathcal{O}$. In this paper,…

We show that an outer automorphism acts loxodromically on the cyclic splitting complex if and only if it has a filling lamination and no generic leaf of the lamination is carried by a vertex group of a cyclic splitting. This is the analog…

Let $N \geq 2$ and let $\mathrm{Out}(F_N)$ be the outer automorphism group of a nonabelian free group of rank $N$. Let $\mathrm{IA}_N(\mathbb{Z}/3\mathbb{Z})$ be the finite index subgroup of $\mathrm{Out}(F_N)$ which is the kernel of the…

The sets of $\cB$-free integers are considered with respect to (reversing) symmetries. It is well known that, for a large class of them, the centraliser of the associated $\cB$-free shift (otherwise known as its automorphism group) is…

Let $\varphi:\mathbb D \to \mathbb D$ be a parabolic self-map of the unit disc $\mathbb D$ having zero hyperbolic step. We study holomorphic self-maps of $\mathbb D$ commuting with $\varphi$. In particular, we answer a question from Gentili…

Let $\varphi\colon\Gamma\to G$ be a homomorphism of groups. We consider factorizations $\Gamma\xrightarrow{f} M\xrightarrow{g} G$ of $\varphi$ such that either $g$ or $f$ are universal normal maps (namely, crossed modules). These two…

We prove that the centralizer Cen(f) in Hom_R(M,M) of a nilpotent endomorphism f of a finitely generated semisimple left R-module M (over an arbitrary ring R) is the homomorphic image of the opposite of a certain Z(R)-subalgebra of the full…

Let $G$ be a free product and $\mathrm{Out}(G)$ the outer automorphism group of $G$. In this article using the theory of laminations we give a criterion for a subgroup $H$ of $\mathrm{Out}(G)$ to contain a nonabelian free subgroup. We also…

Let $G$ be a group and $\varphi \in \Aut(G)$. Then the set $G$ equipped with the binary operation $a*b=\varphi(ab^{-1})b$ gives a quandle structure on $G$, denoted by $\Alex(G, \varphi)$ and called the generalised Alexander quandle. When…

Symmetries of the finite Heisenberg group represent an important tool for the study of deeper structure of finite-dimensional quantum mechanics. As is well known, these symmetries are properly expressed in terms of certain normalizer. This…

We show there is a residual set of non-Anosov $C^{\infty}$ Axiom A diffeomorphisms with the no cycles property whose elements have trivial centralizer. If $M$ is a surface and $2\leq r\leq \infty$, then we will show there exists an open and…

We study orbit codes in the field extension ${\mathbb F}_{q^n}$. First we show that the automorphism group of a cyclic orbit code is contained in the normalizer of the Singer subgroup if the orbit is generated by a subspace that is not…

The embeddability problem is a very old and hard problem in discrete holomorphic iteration which deals with determining general conditions on a given univalent self-map $\varphi$ of the unit disc $\mathbb D$ in order to be contained in a…

We define an algebra $A$ to be centrally stable if, for every epimorhism $\varphi$ from $A$ to another algebra $B$, the center $Z(B)$ of $B$ is equal to $\varphi(Z(A))$, the image of the center of $A$. After providing some examples and…

Given a von Neumann algebra $M$ we consider the central extension $E(M)$ of $M.$ For type I von Neumann algebras $E(M)$ coincides with the algebra $LS(M)$ of all locally measurable operators affiliated with $M.$ In this case we show that an…

We determine the normalizer in $SL_{2}(\mathbb{R})$ of several families of congruence subgroups of $SL_{2}(\mathbb{Z})$. In addition, we show how these tools can be used to evaluate the groups of automorphisms and the discriminant kernels…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated group and let $C^*$ denote the group of all central automorphisms of $G$ fixing the center of $G$ elementwise. Azhdari and Malayeri [J. Algebra Appl., {\bf 6}(2011), 1283-1290] gave necessary and sufficient…

For a group $G$, let $U$ be the group of units of the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z}G$. The group $G$ is said to have the normalizer property if $\text{N}_U(G)=\text{Z}(U)G$. It is shown that Blackburn groups have the normalizer property.…

For a group $G$ and a subgroup $H$ of $G$ this article discusses the normalizer of $H$ in the units of a group ring $RG$. We prove that $H$ is only normalized by the `obvious' units, namely products of elements of $G$ normalizing $H$ and…
