We define the symmetric (outer) automorphism group of a right-angled Artin group and construct for it a (spine of) Outer space. This `symmetric spine' is a contractible cube complex upon which the symmetric outer automorphism group acts…

We define a family of groups that include the mapping class group of a genus g surface with one boundary component and the integral symplectic group Sp(2g,Z). We then prove that these groups are finitely generated. These groups, which we…

For a real semisimple Lie algebra, we consider its automorphism group quotient by its identity component. This is known as the outer automorphism group. In this article, we compute the outer automorphism groups of all real semisimple Lie…

For any right-angled Artin group $A_{\Gamma}$ we construct a finite-dimensional space $\mathcal{O}_{\Gamma}$ on which the group $\text{Out}(A_{\Gamma})$ of outer automorphisms of $A_{\Gamma}$ acts with finite point stabilizers. We prove…

The so-called Tits class, associated to an adjoint absolutely almost simple algebraic group, provides a cohomological obstruction for this group to admit an outer automorphism. If the group has inner type, this obstruction is the only one.…

There are various results in the literature which are part of the general philosophy that a finite group for which a certain parameter (for example, the number of conjugacy classes or the maximum number of elements inverted, squared or…

For a Coxeter group $W$ with length function $\ell$, the excess zero graph $\mathcal{E}_0(W)$ has vertex set the non-identity involutions of $W$, with two involutions $x$ and $y$ adjacent whenever $\ell(xy)=\ell(x)+\ell(y)$. Properties of…

While vector-valued automorphic forms can be defined for an arbitrary Fuchsian group $\Gamma$ and an arbitrary representation $R$ of $\Gamma$ in GL$(n,{\mathbb C})$, their existence has been established in the literature only when…

For a finite alphabet $\mathcal{A}$ and shift $X\subseteq\mathcal{A}^{\mathbb{Z}}$ whose factor complexity function grows at most linearly, we study the algebraic properties of the automorphism group ${\rm Aut}(X)$. For such systems, we…

Let $\Gamma=\mathrm{Cay}(G,S)$ be a Cayley digraph on a group $G$ and let $A=\mathrm{Aut}(\Gamma)$. The Cayley index of $\Gamma$ is $|A:G|$. It has previously been shown that, if $p$ is a prime, $G$ is a cyclic $p$-group and $A$ contains a…

In this paper we are interested in the asymptotic enumeration of bipartite Cayley digraphs and Cayley graphs over abelian groups. Let $A$ be an abelian group and let $\iota$ be the automorphism of $A$ defined by $a^\iota=a^{-1}$, for every…

We prove that finitely generated purely loxodromic subgroups of a right-angled Artin group $A(\Gamma)$ fulfill equivalent conditions that parallel characterizations of convex cocompactness in mapping class groups $\text{Mod}(S)$. In…

Let R a be countable ergodic equivalence relation of type II_1 on a standard probability space (X,m). The group Out(R) of outer automorphisms of R consists of all invertible Borel measure preserving maps of the space which map R-classes to…

Let $\Gamma$ be a simplicial, finite, connected graph such that $\Gamma$ does not decompose as a nontrivial join. We prove that two notions of strong quasiconvexity and stability are equivalent in the right-angled Artin group $A_\Gamma$…

The geometric dimension for proper actions $\underline{\mathrm{gd}}(G)$ of a group $G$ is the minimal dimension of a classifying space for proper actions $\underline{E}G$. We construct for every integer $r\geq 1$, an example of a virtually…

In this paper, given a split extension of an arbitrary Coxeter group by automorphisms of the Coxeter graph, we determine the involutions in that extension whose centralizer has finite index. Our result has applications to many problems such…

The {\it prime graph} $\Gamma(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is the set of prime divisors of $|G|$ and in which two distinct vertices $r$ and $s$ are adjacent if and only if there exists an element of $G$ of order…

Let $X$ be a complex projective variety. Suppose that the group of birational automorphisms of $X$ contains finite subgroups isomorphic to $(\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z})^r$ for $r$ fixed and $N$ arbitrarily large. We show that $r$ does not…

In this paper we study different questions concerning automorphisms of quandles. For a conjugation quandle $Q={\rm Conj}(G)$ of a group $G$ we determine several subgroups of ${\rm Aut}(Q)$ and find necessary and sufficient conditions when…

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…
