A normal subgroup of the (extended) mapping class group of a surface is said to be geometric if its automorphism group is the mapping class group. We prove that in the case of the Cantor tree surface, every normal subgroup is geometric. We…

Let G be a finite group, and $g \geq 2$. We study the locus of genus g curves that admit a G-action of given type, and inclusions between such loci. We use this to study the locus of genus g curves with prescribed automorphism group G. We…

A map on a group into itself is called a local automorphism if at any two points of the group, it can be interpolated by an automorphism of that group. In this paper we investigate the question of how local automorphisms of some classical…

In his investigation on large $K$-automorphism groups of an algebraic curve, Stichtenoth obtained an upper bound on the order of the first ramification group of an algebraic curve $\cX$ defined over an algebraically closed field of…

The description of the automorphism group of group $<a, b; [a^m,b^n]=1>$ ($m,n>1$) in terms of generators and defining relations is given. This result is applied to prove that any normal automorphism of every such group is inner.

We introduce a class of algebras over a field $\mathbb{F}$ related to directed graphs in which all edges are labeled by nonzero elements of the field $\mathbb{F}$. If all labels are different from $1$, these algebras are axial algebras. We…

We describe a technique to determine the automorphism group of a geometrically represented graph, by understanding the structure of the induced action on all geometric representations. Using this, we characterize automorphism groups of…

Let $I(X,R)$ be the incidence algebra of the preordered set $X$ over the ring $R$. In the case of a finite connected partially ordered set $X$, we prove that the subgroup of inner multiplicative automorphisms is a direct factor of the group…

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…

Analytic curves are classified w.r.t. their symmetry under a regular and separately analytic Lie group action on an analytic manifold. We show that an analytic curve is either exponential or splits into countably many analytic immersive…

We study the quantum automorphism group of the lexicographic product of two finite regular graphs, providing a quantum generalization of Sabidussi's structure theorem on the automorphism group of such a graph.

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…

In this paper, we determine the reduced automorphism groups of hyperelliptic curves of a small genus in characteristic $2$, when they are of $2$-rank $0$. Such a curve is an Artin-Schreier curve defined in the form $y^2-y=f(x)$ for a…

For any $C\in[0,\infty]$ a compact group automorphism $T:X\to X$ is constructed with the property that $$ \frac{1}{n}\log|\{x\in X\mid T^n(x)=x\}|\longrightarrow C. $$ This may be interpreted as a combinatorial analogue of the (still open)…

This article proposes an effective criterion for lifting automorphisms along regular coverings of graphs, with the covering transformation group being any finite abelian group.

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 define a homomorphism from (a certain extension of) the fundamental group of the Hamiltonian automorphism group of a symplectic manifold to the group of invertibles in its quantum cohomology ring. The manifold must satify a technical…

In this paper, we study group equations with occurrences of automorphisms. We describe equational domains in this class of equations. Moreover, we solve a number of open problem posed in universal algebraic geometry.
