We provide an algorithm to solve the word problem in all fundamental groups of closed 3-manifolds; in particular, we show that these groups are autostackable. This provides a common framework for a solution to the word problem in any closed…

In this note we provide a negative answer to the question: ``Is it true that for every positive rational number $r$ there exists a finite abelian group $G$ such that $|\mathrm{Aut}(G)|/|G| = r$?". We show that if $r = a/b$ is a rational…

We prove analogs of A.~Selberg's result for finitely generated subgroups of $\text{Aut}(A)$ and of Engel's theorem for subalgebras of $\text{Der}(A)$ for a finitely generated associative commutative algebra $A$ over an associative…

Let $A$ be an $n$-dimensional algebra over a field $k$ and $a(A)$ its quantum symmetry semigroup. We prove that the automorphisms group ${\rm Aut}_{\rm Alg} (A)$ of $A$ is isomorphic to the group $U \bigl( G(a (A)^{\rm o} ) \bigl)$ of all…

We classify all finite 2-groups that have a cyclic or dihedral maximal subgroup and determine their automorphism groups. Based on this result, we classify all pairs $ (G,\mathcal{M}) $, such that $ G $ is a finite 2-group and $ \mathcal{M}…

In this second part we study first the group $Aut_{\mathbb Q}(S)$ of numerically trivial automorphisms of an algebraic properly elliptic surface $S$, that is, of a minimal algebraic surface with Kodaira dimension $\kappa(S)=1$, in the case…

We give a cohomological criterion for existence of outer automorphisms of a semisimple algebraic group over an arbitrary field. This criterion is then applied to the special case of groups of type D_2n over a global field, which completes…

We undertake a systematic study of the so-called $2$-adic ring $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{Q}_2$. This is the universal $C^*$-algebra generated by a unitary $U$ and an isometry $S_2$ such that $S_2U=U^2S_2$ and $S_2S_2^*+US_2S_2^*U^*=1$.…

Let $\mathcal{A} = {A_1, ..., A_k}$ be a system of free factors of $F_n$. The group of relative automorphisms $\mathrm{Aut}(F_n; \mathcal{A})$ is the group given by the automorphisms of $F_n$ that restricted to each $A_i$ are conjugations…

We determine the automorphism group for a large class of affine quadric hypersurfaces over a field, viewed as affine algebraic varieties. In particular, we find that the group of real polynomial automorphisms of the n-sphere is just the…

For each integer \( n \geq 3 \), we construct a self-dual regular 3-polytope \( \mathcal{P} \) of type \( \{n, n\} \) with \( 2^n n \) flags, resolving two foundamental open questions on the existence of regular polytopes with certain…

In this paper, we assume that $G$ is a finitely generated torsion free non-elementary Kleinian group with $\Omega(G)$ nonempty. We show that the maximal number of elements of $G$ that can be pinched is precisely the maximal number of rank 1…

Any group $G$ gives rise to a 2-group of inner automorphisms, $\mathrm{INN}(G)$. It is an old result by Segal that the nerve of this is the universal $G$-bundle. We discuss that, similarly, for every 2-group $G_{(2)}$ there is a 3-group…

A long-standing conjecture asserts that every finite non-abelian $p$-group has a non-inner automorphism of order $p$. In this paper, we settle the conjecture for a finite $p$-group ($p >2$) of nilpotency class $n$ with certain conditions.

In [I. Arzhantsev and M. Zaidenberg, Borel subgroups of the automorphism groups of affine toric surfaces, arXiv:2507.09679 (2025)] we described the Borel subgroups and maximal solvable subgroups of the automorphism groups of affine toric…

For an affine algebraic variety $X$, we study the subgroup $\mathrm{Aut}_{\text{alg}}(X)$ of the group of regular automorphisms $\mathrm{Aut}(X)$ of $X$ generated by all the connected algebraic subgroups. We prove that…

Let $\mathbf{K}$ be the class of countable structures $M$ with the strong small index property and locally finite algebraicity, and $\mathbf{K}_*$ the class of $M \in \mathbf{K}$ such that $acl_M(\{ a \}) = \{ a \}$ for every $a \in M$. For…

In this article we determine the maximal possible order of the automorphism group of the form $ag + b$, where $a$ and $b$ are integers, of a complex three and four-dimensional family of compact Riemann surfaces of genus $g$, appearing for…

Let $\mathbb{Z}$ be the additive group of all integers and $\mathbb{N}$ the sub-monoid of $\mathbb{Z}$ of all non-negative integers. For a finite subset $X$ of $\mathbb{Z}$, we denote by ${\rm max}\ X$ the maximum member in $X$. %Recently,…

Using a recent classification of $\operatorname{End}(\mathcal{D}(G))$, we determine a number of properties for $\operatorname{Aut}(\mathcal{D}(G))$, where $\mathcal{D}(G)$ is the Drinfel'd double of a finite group $G$. Furthermore, we…
