We give a characterisation of quantum automorphism groups of trees. In particular, for every tree, we show how to iteratively construct its quantum automorphism group using free products and free wreath products. This can be considered a…

We prove that the group of automorphisms of the generic meet-tree expansion of an infinite non-unary free Fra\"{\i}ss\'{e} limit over a finite relational language is simple. As a prototypical case, the group of automorphism of the Rado…

In this paper we define a quantity called the rank of an outer automorphism of a free group which is the same as the index introduced in [D. Gaboriau, A. Jaeger, G. Levitt and M. Lustig, `An index for counting fixed points for automorphisms…

Let T be a d-regular tree (d > 2) and A=Aut(T), its automorphism group. Let G be a group generated by n independent Haar-random elements of A. We show that almost surely, every nontrivial element of G has finitely many fixed points on T.

This paper studies the rigidity properties of the abstract commensurator of the outer automorphism group of a universal Coxeter group of rank $n$, which is the free product $W_n$ of $n$ copies of $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$. We prove that for…

We show how to construct, for each $r \geq 3$, an ageometric, fully irreducible $\phi\in Out(F_r)$ whose ideal Whitehead graph is the complete graph on $2r-1$ vertices. This paper is the second in a series of three where we show that…

We prove two conjectures on the automorphism group of a one-dimensional formal group law defined over a field of positive characteristic. The first is that if a series commutes with a nontorsion automorphism of the formal group law, then…

Every irreducible outer automorphism of the free group of rank r is topologically represented by an irreducible train track map $f$ on some graph $\Gamma$ of rank r. Moreover, $f$ can always be written as a composition of folds and a graph…

We compute the continuous bounded cohomology of the full automorphism groups of regular trees in all positive degrees, with coefficients arising from any irreducible continuous unitary representations. To the author's knowledge, this seems…

We give a complete description of the size of the conjugacy classes of the automorphism group of the random graph with respect to Christensen's Haar null ideal. It is shown that every non-Haar null class contains a translated copy of a…

We show that the group of bounded automatic automorphisms of a rooted tree is amenable, which implies amenability of numerous classes of groups generated by finite automata. The proof is based on reducing the problem to showing amenability…

The automorphism group of a regular locally finite tree is shown to admit irreducible Banach representations that are not admissible. The dense subspace of smooth vectors contains no algebraically irreducible component.

We examine bicoset digraphs and their natural properties from the point of view of symmetry. We then consider connected bicoset digraphs that are $X$-joins with collections of empty graphs, and show that their automorphism groups can be…

Let $A_1,...,A_k$ be a system of free factors of $F_n$. The group of relative automorphisms $Aut(F_n;A_1,...,A_k)$ is the group given by the automorphisms of $F_n$ that restricted to each $A_i$ are conjugations by elements in $F_n$. The…
