A group is boundedly simple if, for some constant N, every nontrivial conjugacy class generates the whole group in N steps. For a large class of trees, Tits proved simplicity of a canonical subgroup of the automorphism group, which is…

In this paper, we prove that each automorphism of the Torelli group of a surface is induced by a diffeomorphism of the surface, provided that the surface is a closed, connected, orientable surface of genus at least 3. This result was…

We study the automorphism group of an idempotent evolution algebra, show that any finite group can be the automorphism group of an evolution algebra, and describe certain evolution algebras with given automorphism groups. In particular, we…

Automorphism groups of locally finite trees provide a large class of examples of simple totally disconnected locally compact groups. It is desirable to understand the connections between the global and local structure of such a group.…

We study the cluster automorphism group $Aut(\mathcal{A})$ of a coefficient free cluster algebra $\mathcal{A}$ of finite type. A cluster automorphism of $\mathcal{A}$ is a permutation of the cluster variable set $\mathscr{X}$ that is…

We study the outer automorphism group of a right-angled Artin group $A_\Gamma$ with finite defining graph $\Gamma$. We construct a subnormal series for $Out(A_\Gamma)$ such that each consecutive quotient is either finite, free-abelian,…

Given a positive definite even lattice and a commutative ring, there is a standard construction of a lattice vertex algebra over the commutative ring, and it admits a natural grading by non-negative integers. We describe the groups of…

We show that the outer automorphism groups of graph products of finitely generated abelian groups satisfy the Tits alternative, are residually finite, their so-called Torelli subgroups are finitely generated, and they satisfy a dichotomy…

We ask if any finite type generalized braid group is a subgroup of some classical Artin braid group. We define a natural map from a given finite type generalized braid group to a classical braid group and ask if this map is an injective…

A new infinite series of rational affine algebraic varieties is constructed whose automorphism group contains the automorphism group ${\rm Aut}(F_n)$ of the free group $F_n$ of rank $n$. The automorphism groups of such varieties are…

In this paper we consider some classical varieties of linear algebras over the field which has characteristic 0. For every considered variety we take a category of the finite generated free algebras of this variety. And for every this…

Consider a smooth connected algebraic group $G$ acting on a normal projective variety $X$ with an open dense orbit. We show that Aut($X$) is a linear algebraic group if so is $G$; for an arbitrary $G$, the group of components of Aut($X$) is…

The observation that a graph of rank $n$ can be assembled from graphs of smaller rank $k$ with $s$ leaves by pairing the leaves together leads to a process for assembling homology classes for $Out(F_n)$ and $Aut(F_n)$ from classes for…

We study the existence of homomorphisms between Out(F_n) and Out(F_m) for n > 5 and m < n(n-1)/2, and conclude that if m is not equal to n then each such homomorphism factors through the finite group of order 2. In particular this provides…

We show a noncommutative Rohlin type theorem for automorphisms of a certain class of purely infinite simple $C^{\ast}$-algebras. This class consists of the purely infinite unital simple $C^{\ast}$-algebras which are in the bootstrap…

The structure of the automorphism group of a simple TAI algebra is studied. In particular, we show that $\frac{\bar{\mrm{Inn}} (A)}{\bar{\mrm{Inn}}_{0} (A)}$ is isomorphic (as a topological group) to an inverse limit of discrete abelian…

In 1911, Burnside asked whether or not there exist groups that have an outer automorphism which preserves conjugacy classes. Two years later he answered his own question by constructing a family of such groups. Using the small group library…

We study closed, connected, spin 4-manifolds up to stabilisation by connected sums with copies of $S^2 \times S^2$. For a fixed fundamental group, there are primary, secondary and tertiary obstructions, which together with the signature…

We investigate the general structure of the automorphism group and the Lie algebra of derivations of a finitely generated vertex operator algebra. The automorphism group is isomorphic to an algebraic group. Under natural assumptions, the…

It is well-known that every algebraic group of type F_4 is the automorphism group of an exceptional Jordan algebra, and that up to isogeny all groups of type ^1E_6 with trivial Tits algebras arise as the isometry groups of norm forms of…
