The automorphisms of free groups with boundaries form a family of groups A_{n,k} closely related to mapping class groups, with the standard automorphisms of free groups as A_{n,0} and (essentially) the symmetric automorphisms of free groups…
For a finite group G of Lie type and a prime p, we compare the automorphism groups of the fusion and linking systems of G at p with the automorphism group of G itself. When p is the defining characteristic of G, they are all isomorphic,…
For an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic zero and a non-singular matrix $A\in \mbox{GL}_n(K)$, a semi-invariant polynomial of $A$ is defined to be a polynomial $p(x)=p(x_1,\dots,x_n)$ with coefficients in $K$ such that…
Let $k$ be a field. We characterize the group schemes $G$ over $k$, not necessarily affine, such that $\mathsf{D}_{\mathrm{qc}}(B_kG)$ is compactly generated. We also describe the algebraic stacks that have finite cohomological dimension in…
We show that if $K$ is an arbitrary field and $G$ is a finite group then there exists a curve over $K$ with automorphism group $G$. We also give a positive solution to the weak inverse Galois problem for function fields over an arbitrary…
We study the automorphisms group action on a bounded domain in $\CC^n$ having a boundary point that is exponentially flat. Such a domain typically has a compact automorphism group. Our results enable us to generate many new examples.
Given a symmetrizable generalized Cartan matrix $A$, for any index $k$, one can define an automorphism associated with $A,$ of the field $\mathbf{Q}(u_1, >..., u_n)$ of rational functions of $n$ independent indeterminates $u_1,..., u_n.$ It…
Consider a normal projective variety $X$, a linear algebraic subgroup $G$ of Aut($X$), and the field $K$ of $G$-invariant rational functions on $X$. We show that the subgroup of Aut($X$) that fixes $K$ pointwise is linear algebraic. If $K$…
The eigenfamilies of Gudmundsson and Sakovich can be used to generate harmonic morphisms, proper $r$-harmonic maps, and minimal co-dimension $2$ submanifolds. This article begins by characterising the globally defined eigenfamilies of the…
Let $F(x, y)$ be a binary form of degree at least three and non-zero discriminant. In this article we compute the automorphism group $\operatorname{Aut} F$ for four families of binary forms. The first two families that we are interested in…
A multi-GGS-group is a group of automorphisms of a regular rooted tree, generalising the Gupta--Sidki $p$-groups. We compute the automorphism groups of all non-constant multi-GGS-groups.
We study the automorphism group of the algebra $\oqmn$ of $n \times n$ generic quantum matrices. We provide evidence for our conjecture that this group is generated by the transposition and the subgroup of those automorphisms acting on the…
Let $\sigma$ be an automorphism of a field $K$ with fixed field $F$. We study the automorphisms of nonassociative unital algebras which are canonical generalizations of the associative quotient algebras $K[t;\sigma]/fK[t;\sigma]$ obtained…
Let W_n(K) be the Lie algebra of derivations of the polynomial algebra K[X]:=K[x_1,...,x_n] over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic zero. A subalgebra L of W_n(K) is called polynomial if it is a submodule of the K[X]-module…
We define a family of polynomial ring homomorphisms generalizing the well-known Nagata automorphism. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions under which these homomorphisms are automorphisms, and verify that they satisfy the…
We conjecture that bounded generalised polynomial functions cannot be generated by finite automata, except for the trivial case when they are periodic away from a finite set. Using methods from ergodic theory, we are able to partially…
Let A^2 be the affine plane over a field K of characteristic 0. Birational morphisms of A^2 are mappings A^2 \to A^2 given by polynomial mappings \phi of the polynomial algebra K[x,y] such that for the quotient fields, one has K(\phi(x),…
We study the actions of a Lie group $G$ by birationally extendible automorphisms on a domain $D\subset C^n$. For a large class of such domains defined by polynomial inequalities, all automorphisms are of this type. In the cases 1) $G$ has…
We compute the automorphism groups of some quantized algebras, including tensor products of quantum Weyl algebras and some skew polynomial rings.
In this paper we study a certain class of polycyclic groups. We outline a method for constructing a poly-$\mathbb{Z}$ group $G_n$ by describing a process for selecting maps that are used to extend $G_i$ to $G_{i+1}$ for $1 \leq i \leq n-1$…
