In this paper, we consider certain descending filtrations of the $\mathrm{SL}(m,\C)$-representation algebras of free groups and free abelian groups. By using it, we introduce analogs of the Johnson homomorphisms of the automorphism groups…

It is a simple fact that a subgroup generated by a subset $A$ of an abelian group is the direct sum of the cyclic groups $\langle a\rangle$, $a\in A$ if and only if the set $A$ is independent. In [5] the concept of an $independent$ set in…

In [Li and Chen, A new characterization of the simple group A_1(p^n), Sib. Math. J., 2012], it is proved that the simple group A_1(p^n) is uniquely determined by the set of orders of its maximal abelian subgroups. Also in [Momen and…

We investigate the possible structures imposed on a finite group by its possession of an automorphism sending a large fraction of the group elements to their cubes, the philosophy being that this should force the group to be, in some sense,…

An abelian self-commutator in a C*-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ is an element $A$ that can be written as $A=X^*X-XX^*$, with $X\in\mathcal{A}$ such that $X^*X$ and $XX^*$ commute. It is shown that, given a finite AW*-factor $\mathcal{A}$, there…

For a mixing shift of finite type, the associated automorphism group has a rich algebraic structure, and yet we have few criteria to distinguish when two such groups are isomorphic. We introduce a stabilization of the automorphism group,…

We obtain a number of analogues of the classical results of the 1960s on the general linear groups $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbf Z)$ and special linear groups $\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbf Z)$ for the automorphism group $\Gamma_A=\mathrm{Aut}(A)$ of an…

We study distinguished subalgebras and automorphisms of boundary quotients arising from algebraic dynamical systems $(G,P,\theta)$. Our work includes a complete solution to the problem of extending Bogolubov automorphisms from the Cuntz…

Let $A=A(x_{1},...,x_{n})$ be a free associative algebra in $\mathcal{A}$ freely generated over $K$ by a set $X=\{x_{1},...,x_{n}\}$, $End A$ be the semigroup of endomorphisms of $A$, and $Aut End A$ be the group of automorphisms of the…

In this paper, we describe the automorphism group of semidirect product of two groups that fixes the non-normal subgroup of it. We have computed these automorphisms for the non-abelian metacyclic $p$-group and non-abelian $p$-groups $(p\ge…

Let $A$ be an infinitely generated free abelian group. We prove that the automorphism group $\aut A$ first-order interprets the full second-order theory of the set $|A|$ with no structure. In particular, this implies that the automorphism…

We undertake a systematic study of the so-called $2$-adic ring $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{Q}_2$. This is the universal $C^*$-algebra generated by a unitary $U$ and an isometry $S_2$ such that $S_2U=U^2S_2$ and $S_2S_2^*+US_2S_2^*U^*=1$.…

A finite abelian group $G$ of cardinality $n$ is said to be of type III if every prime divisor of $n$ is congruent to 1 modulo 3. We obtain a classification theorem for sum-free subsets of largest possible cardinality in a finite abelian…

Let $S$ be a nonorientable surface of genus $g\ge 5$ with $n\ge 0$ punctures, and $\Mcg(S)$ its mapping class group. We define the complexity of $S$ to be the maximum rank of a free abelian subgroup of $\Mcg(S)$. Suppose that $S_1$ and…

For an arbitrary ring $A$, we study the abelianization of the elementary group $\textrm{E}_2(A)$. In particular, we show that for a commutative ring $A$ there exists an exact sequence \[ K_2(2,A)/C(2,A) \to A/M \to…

We classify closed abelian subgroups of a compact simple Lie group of adjoint type and of type E having centralizer of the same dimension as the dimension of the subgroup and describe Weyl groups of maximal abelian subgroups.

For each of the classical Lie algebras $g(n)=o(2n+1), sp(2n), o(2n)$ of type B, C, D we consider the centralizer of the subalgebra $g(n-m)$ in the universal enveloping algebra $U(g(n))$. We show that the $n$th centralizer algebra can be…

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.

Let $\Cal S$ be an abelian finitely generated semigroup of endomorphisms of a probability space $(\Omega, {\Cal A}, \mu)$, with $(T_1, ..., T_d)$ a system of generators in ${\Cal S}$. Given an increasing sequence of domains $(D_n) \subset…

In 1993, Muzychuk \cite{muzychuk} showed that the rational Schur rings over a cyclic group $Z_n$ are in one-to-one correspondence with sublattices of the divisor lattice of $n$, or equivalently, with sublattices of the lattice of subgroups…
