We give a classification of maximal elements of the set of finite groups that can be realized as the automorphism groups of polarized abelian threefolds over finite fields.

Generalizations of Redfield's master theorem and superposition theorem are proved by using decomposition of the tensor product of several induced monomial representations of the symmetric group $S_d$ into transitive constituents. As direct…

We consider rational projective homogeneous varieties over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, namely quotients of a semi-simple group by a possibly non-reduced parabolic subgroup. We determine the group scheme…

This is a survey on the automorphism groups in various classes of affine algebraic surfaces and the algebraic group actions on such surfaces. Being infinite-dimensional, these automorphism groups share some important features of algebraic…

We give an explicit description of the automorphism group of a product of complete toric varieties over an arbitrary field in terms of the respective automorphism groups of its components. More precisely, we prove that, up to permutation of…

Complex reflection groups of rank two are precisely the finite groups in the family of groups that we call J-reflection groups. These groups are particular cases of J-groups as defined by Achar & Aubert in 2008. The family of J-reflection…

We define a `nice representation' of a finitely presented group G as being a non-degenerate essentially surjective simplicial map f from a `nice' space X into a 3-complex associated to a presentation of G, with a strong control over the…

The well-known characterization of two-ended groups says that every two-ended group can be split over finite subgroups which means it is isomorphic to either by a free product with amalgamation $A\ast_C B$ or an HNN-extension $\ast_{\phi}…

We provide an example of a non-finitely generated group which admits a nonempty strongly aperiodic SFT. Furthermore, we completely characterize the groups with this property in terms of their finitely generated subgroups and the roots of…

If G is a (connected) complex Lie Group and Z is a generalized flag manifold for G, the the open orbits D of a (connected) real form G_0 of G form an interesting class of complex homogeneous spaces, which play an important role in the…

We study the problem of realizing families of subgroups as the set of stabilizers of configurations from a subshift of finite type (SFT). This problem generalizes both the existence of strongly and weakly aperiodic SFTs. We show that a…

The group ring of the automorphism group of a p-group is studied using the automorphism groups of subgroups and quotient groups of P.

Given a reflection $r$ in a Coxeter group $W$ (possibly of infinite rank), we consider the subgroup of $W$ generated by the reflections in $W$ having (-1)-eigenvectors orthogonal to the (-1)-eigenvector of $r$. In this paper, we determine…

We consider deformations of bounded complexes of modules for a profinite group G over a field of positive characteristic. We prove a finiteness theorem which provides some sufficient conditions for the versal deformation of such a complex…

We describe an underlying right angled building structure of any graph product of buildings. We describe the automorphism group of the graph product of buildings. We show that the notion of generalized graph product of a collection of…

We show that the automorphism group of Drinfeld's half-space over a finite field is the projective linear group of the underlying vector space. The proof of this result uses analytic geometry in the sense of Berkovich over the finite field…

In this paper, we consider finite flag-transitive affine planes with a solvable automorphism group. Under a mild number-theoretic condition involving the order and dimension of the plane, the translation complement must contain a linear…

We survey several notions of Mackey functors and biset functors found in the literature and prove some old and new theorems comparing them. While little here will surprise the experts, we draw a conceptual and unified picture by making…

Two geometric interpretations of the bar automorphism in the positive part of a quantized enveloping algebra are given. The first is in terms of numbers of rational points over finite fields of quiver analogues of orbital varieties; the…

A certain family of orthogonal groups (called "Clifford groups" by G. E. Wall) has arisen in a variety of different contexts in recent years. These groups have a simple definition as the automorphism groups of certain generalized…
