We give a complete classification of homomorphisms from the braid group on $n$ strands to the braid group on $2n$ strands when $n$ is at least 5. We also classify endomorphisms of the braid group on 4 strands, as well as homomorphisms from…

We give an algorithm to decide whether a given braid with four strings is a product of three factors which are conjugates of standard generators of the braid group. The algorithm is of polynomial time. It is based on the Garside theory. We…

We show that the particular profinite completion used by Boavida-Horel-Robertson in their study of the Grothendieck-Teichm\"uller group fits in the framework of profinite completion as a left Quillen functor. More precisely, we construct a…

For a hyperbolic toral automorphism, we construct a profinite completion of an isomorphic copy of the homoclinic group of its right action using isomorphic copies of the periodic data of its left action. The resulting profinite group has a…

We determine which simple algebraic groups of type $^3D_4$ over arbitrary fields of characteristic different from 2 admit outer automorphisms of order 3, and classify these automorphisms up to conjugation. The criterion is formulated in…

A few facts concerning the phrase "the automorphism groups become larger at special points of the moduli of K3 surfaces" are presented. It is also shown that the automorphism groups are of infinite order over a dense subset in any…

Let T be a rooted tree and Iso(T) be the group of isometries of T. Using model-theoretic tools we study closed subgroups G of Iso(T) with respect to the number of conjugacy classes of Iso(T) having representatives in G.

We present examples of characters of absolute Galois groups of number fields that can be recovered through their action by automorphisms on the profinite completion of the braid groups, using a ``rigidity'' approach. The way we use to…

Let $f$ be an endomorphism of the projective line. There is a natural conjugation action on the space of such morphisms by elements of the projective linear group. The group of automorphisms, or stabilizer group, of a given $f$ for this…

We study automorphism groups of formal matrix algebras. We also consider automorphisms of ordinary matrix algebras (in particular, triangular matrix algebras).

In this paper we compute the automorphism groups $\operatorname{Aut}(\mathbf{P}_n(\Sigma))$ and $\operatorname{Aut}(\mathbf{B}_n(\Sigma))$ of braid groups $\mathbf{P}_n(\Sigma)$ and $\mathbf{B}_n(\Sigma)$ on every orientable surface…

We initiate the study of profinite rigidity for modules over a Noetherian domain: to what extent are these objects determined by their finite images? We establish foundational statements in analogy to classical results in the category of…

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}…

Given a root system $\mathsf{R}$, the vector system $\tilde{\mathsf{R}}$ is obtained by taking a representative $v$ in each antipodal pair $\{v, -v\}$. The matroid $M(\mathsf{R})$ is formed by all independent subsets of…

We prove that each residually finite Baumslag-Solitar group can be distinguished by its finite quotients from all other residually finite Baumslag-Solitar groups.

In this article we calculate the profinite genus of the fundamental group of a $n$-dimensional compact flat manifold $X$ with holonomy group of prime order. As consequence, we prove that if $n\leq 21$, then $X$ is determined among all…

In arXiv:0910.1727 we find certain finite homomorphic images of Artin braid group into appropriate symmetric groups, which a posteriori are extensions of the symmetric group on n letters by an abelian group. The main theorem of this paper…

We formulate and prove a profinite rigidity theorem for the twisted Alexander polynomials up to several types of finite ambiguity. We also establish torsion growth formulas of the twisted homology groups in a $\mathbb{Z}$-cover of a…

We will investigate quasi-randomness for profinite groups. We will obtain bounds for the mininal degree of non-trivial representations of $\mathrm{SL}_k(\mathbb{Z}/(p^n\mathbb{Z}))$ and $\mathrm{Sp}_{2k}(\mathbb{Z}/(p^n\mathbb{Z}))$. Our…
