In this paper we consider some global constructions of liftings of automorphic representations attached to some commuting pairs in the exceptional group $F_4$. We consider two families of integrals. The first uses the minimal representation…

Let $N \geq 2$ and let $\mathrm{Out}(F_N)$ be the outer automorphism group of a nonabelian free group of rank $N$. Let $\mathrm{IA}_N(\mathbb{Z}/3\mathbb{Z})$ be the finite index subgroup of $\mathrm{Out}(F_N)$ which is the kernel of the…

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…

Homology of the group Aut(F_n) of automorphisms of a free group on n generators is known to be independent of n in a certain stable range. Using tools from homotopy theory, we prove that in this range it agrees with homology of symmetric…

In this paper, we are not limited to considering semi-scalar automorphisms of G as Lindsay N. Childs in 2012 which is a specific case of Aut(G). Some new results in determining the fixed point free automorphisms of G are developed.

For any finite collection $f_i$ of fully irreducible automorphisms of the free group $F_n$ we construct a connected $\delta$-hyperbolic $Out(F_n)$-complex in which each $f_i$ has positive translation length.

We describe the outer automorphism group of a one-ended fundamental group of a graph of groups, when edge groups are cyclic, and vertex groups are torsion-free with cyclic centralizers. We show that in this case the outer automorphism group…

In this paper we describe the automorphism groups of the endomorphism semigroups of free Burnside groups $B(m,n)$ for odd exponents $n\ge1003$. We prove, that the groups $Aut(End(B(m,n)))$ and $Aut(B(m,n))$ are isomorphic. In particular, if…

The group of 2-by-2 matrices with integer entries and determinant $\pm > 1$ can be identified either with the group of outer automorphisms of a rank two free group or with the group of isotopy classes of homeomorphisms of a 2-dimensional…

We compute explicitly the automorphism and outer automorphism group of all large-type free-of-infinity Artin groups. Our strategy involves reconstructing the associated Deligne complexes in a purely algebraic manner, i.e. in a way that is…

Fix an equilateral triangle group $T_i=\langle a, b; a^i, b^i, (ab)^i\rangle$ with $i\geq6$ arbitrary. Our main result is: for every presentation $\mathcal{P}$ of every countable group $Q$ there exists an HNN-extension $T_{\mathcal{P}}$ of…

The recent paper "The further chameleon groups of Richard Thompson and Graham Higman: automorphisms via dynamics for the Higman groups $G_{n,r}$" of Bleak, Cameron, Maissel, Navas and Olukoya (BCMNO) characterises the automorphisms of the…

Let $G$ be a group. The orbits of the natural action of $Aut(G)$ on $G$ are called the automorphism orbits of $G$, and their number is denoted by $\omega(G)$. Let $\mathbb{F}$ be an infinite field, and let $UT_n(\mathbb{F})$ denote the…

In this article we raise some new questions about positive definite functions on free groups, and explain how these are related to more well-known questions. The article is intended as a survey of known results that also offers some new…

For a finitely generated group $G$ the Nielsen graph $N_n(G)$, $n\geq \operatorname{rank}(G)$, describes the action of the group $\operatorname{Aut}F_n$ of automorphisms of the free group $F_n$ on generating $n$-tuples of G by elementary…

We use the Bass--Jiang group for automorphism-induced HNN-extensions to build a framework for the construction of tractable groups with pathological outer automorphism groups. We apply this framework to a strong form of a question of…

We prove that the reduced C*-algebras of centerless mapping class groups and outer automorphism groups of free groups are simple, as are the irreducible pure subgroups of mapping class groups and the analogous subgroups of outer…

Among the simplest invariants of the sporadic finite simple groups are their outer automorphism groups. For 12 of the 26 possible isomorphism types of a sporadic simple group G, the outer automorphism group Out(G) has order 2, and in the…

We consider actions of automorphism groups of free groups by semisimple isometries on complete CAT$(0)$ spaces. If $n\ge 4$ then each of the Nielsen generators of Aut$(F_n)$ has a fixed point. If $n=3$ then either each of the Nielsen…

We present an identification theorem for the groups $F_4(2)$ and $Aut(F_4(2))$ based on the structure of the centralizer of an element of order 3.
