Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a plane curve defined over the algebraic closure $K$ of a prime finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ by a separated polynomial, that is $\mathcal{C}: A(y)=B(x)$, where $A(y)$ is an additive polynomial of degree $p^n$ and the…

Let $C$ be an irreducible projective plane curve in the complex projective space ${\mathbb{P}}^2$. The classification of such curves, up to the action of the automorphism group $PGL(3,{\mathbb{C}})$ on ${\mathbb{P}}^2$, is a very difficult…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be an irreducible plane curve of $\text{PG}(2,\mathbb{K})$ where $\mathbb{K}$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p\geq 0$. A point $Q\in \mathcal{C}$ is an inner Galois point for $\mathcal{C}$ if the…

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}…

Barbieri recently showed that the finite graphs realising any given finite automorphism group have unbounded genus, answering a question of Cornwell et al. In this note we give a short proof of a stronger result: they have unbounded clique…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic $p>0$ and $C \to {\mathbb P}^1_k$ a $p$-cyclic cover of the projective line ramified in exactly one point. We are interested in the $p$-part of the full automorphism group…

In this paper we classify curves of genus two over a perfect field k of characteristic two. We find rational models of curves with a given arithmetic structure for the ramification divisor and we give necessary and sufficient conditions for…

A superelliptic curve $\X$ of genus $g\geq 2$ is not necessarily defined over its field of moduli but it can be defined over a quadratic extension of it. While a lot of work has been done by many authors to determine which hyperelliptic…

The genus g of an F_{q^2}-maximal curve satisfies g=g_1:=q(q-1)/2 or g\le g_2:= [(q-1)^2/4]. Previously, such curves with g=g_1 or g=g_2, q odd, have been characterized up to isomorphism. Here it is shown that an F_{q^2}-maximal curve with…

We construct families of smooth, proper, algebraic curves in characteristic 0, of arbitrary genus g, together with g elements in the kernel of the tame symbol. We show that those elements are in general independent by a limit calculation of…

Let $K$ be a field and $f:\mathbb{P}^N \to \mathbb{P}^N$ a morphism. There is a natural conjugation action on the space of such morphisms by elements of the projective linear group $\text{PGL}_{N+1}$. The group of automorphisms, or…

The automorphisms groups and derivation algebras of all two-dimensional algebras over algebraically closed fields are described.

Let C be a complex smooth projective algebraic curve endowed with an action of a finite group G such that the quotient curve has genus at least 3. We prove that if the G-curve C is very general for these properties, then the natural map…

For convex domains with $C^{1,\epsilon}$ boundary we give a precise description of the automorphism group: if an orbit of the automorphism group accumulates on at least two different closed complex faces of the boundary, then the…

We prove that, for a K3 surface in characteristic p > 2, the automorphism group acts on the nef cone with a rational polyhedral fundamental domain and on the nodal classes with finitely many orbits. As a consequence, for any non-negative…

Given a countable abelian group $A$, we construct a row finite directed graph $\Gamma(A)$ such that the $K_{0}$-group of the graph $\textrm{C}^{\ast}$-algebra $\textrm{C}^{\ast}(\Gamma(A))$ is canonically isomorphic to $A$. Moreover, each…

We calculate the automorphism group of the Kummer surface associated with a curve of genus 2 or the product of two elliptic curves in characteristic two under the assumption that the Kummer surface is a $K3$ surface. Moreover we discuss the…

Let $G$ be a subgroup of the three dimensional projective group $\mathrm{PGL}(3,q)$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of order $q$, viewed as a subgroup of $\mathrm{PGL}(3,K)$ where $K$ is an algebraic closure of $\mathbb{F}_q$.…

We classify all finite $p$-groups $G$ for which |$Aut_{c}(G)$| attains its maximum value, where $Aut_{c}(G)$ denotes the group of all class preserving automorphisms of $G$ .

We show that if a field k contains sufficiently many elements(for instance, if k is infinite), and K is an algebraically closed field containing k, then every linear algebraic k-group over K is k-isomorphic to Aut(A\otimes_kK), where A is a…
