We propose the systematic study of presentations that can be generalised over a continuous open group monomorphism. Presentations with this property can turn well-known presentations such as those for as orientable surface groups, Artin…

Let $N$ be a closed nonorientable surface with or without marked points. In this paper we prove that, for every finite full subgraph $\Gamma$ of $\mathcal{C}^{\mathrm{two}}(N)$, the right-angled Artin group on $\Gamma$ can be embedded in…

We study the automorphisms of graph products of cyclic groups, a class of groups that includes all right-angled Coxeter and right-angled Artin groups. We show that the group of automorphism generated by partial conjugations is itself a…

Let $X$ be a smooth hypersurface of dimension $n\geq 1$ and degree $d\geq 3$ in the projective space given as the zero set of a homogeneous form $F$. If $(n,d)\neq (1,3), (2,4)$ it is well known that every automorphism of $X$ extends to an…

Let $\mathcal M$ be a compact complex supermanifold. We prove that the set $\mathrm{Aut}_{\bar 0}(\mathcal M)$ of automorphisms of $\mathcal M$ can be endowed with the structure of a complex Lie group acting holomorphically on $\mathcal M$,…

Given a smooth hyperplane section $H$ of a rational homogeneous space $G/P$ with Picard number one, we address the question whether it is always possible to lift an automorphism of $H$ to the Lie group $G$, or more precisely to Aut$(G/P)$.…

We show that if a right-angled Artin group $A(\Gamma)$ has a non-trivial, minimal action on a tree $T$ which is not a line, then $\Gamma$ contains a separating subgraph $\Lambda$ such that $A(\Lambda)$ stabilizes an edge in $T$.

An automorphism $\alpha$ of a group $G$ is called a commuting automorphism if each element $x$ in $G$ commutes with its image $\alpha(x)$ under $\alpha$. Let $A(G)$ denote the set of all commuting automorphisms of $G$. Rai [Proc. Japan…

Consider the mapping class group $\Mod_{g,p}$ of a surface $\Sigma_{g,p}$ of genus $g$ with $p$ punctures, and a finite collection $\{f_1,...,f_k\}$ of mapping classes, each of which is either a Dehn twist about a simple closed curve or a…

Let $1 \le r < n$ be integers. We give a proof that the group $\mathop{\mathrm{Aut}}({X_{n}^{\mathbb{N}}, \sigma_{n}})$ of automorphisms of the one-sided shift on $n$ letters embeds naturally as a subgroup $\mathcal{H}_{n}$ of the outer…

We prove Nielsen realisation for finite subgroups of the groups of untwisted outer automorphisms of RAAGs in the following sense: given any graph $\Gamma$, and any finite group $G\leqslant \mathrm{U}^0(A_\Gamma) \leqslant…

By a map we mean a $2$-cell decomposition of a closed compact surface, i.e., an embedding of a graph such that every face is homeomorphic to an open disc. Automorphism of a map can be thought of as a permutation of the vertices which…

Given a finite connected simple graph $\Gamma$, and a subgroup $G$ of its automorphism group, a general method for finding all finite abelian regular coverings of $\Gamma$ that admit a lift of each element of $G$ is developed. As an…

We show that there is no uniform upper bound on |Out(Aut(A))| when A ranges over all right-angled Artin groups. This is in contrast with the cases where A is free or free abelian: for all n, Dyer-Formanek and Bridson-Vogtmann showed that…

By an automorphism of a topological group G we mean an isomorphism of G onto itself which is also a homeomorphism. In this article, we study the automorphism group Aut(G) of a dense subgroup G of R^n, n>=1. We show that Aut(G) can be…

Let $D$ be the incidence graph of the projective plane over $\FF_3$. The Artin group of the graph $D$ maps onto the bimonster and a complex hyperbolic reflection group $\Gamma$ acting on 13 dimensional complex hyperbolic space $Y$. The…

This paper deals with the Cayley graph $\mathrm{Cay}(\mathrm{Sym}_n,T_n),$ where the generating set consists of all block transpositions. A motivation for the study of these particular Cayley graphs comes from current research in…

The automorphism groups ${\rm Aut\,}A_n$ and ${\rm Aut\,}W_n$ of the polynomial algebra $A_n=C[x_1,x_2,\cdots, x_n]$ and the rank $n$ Witt algebra $W_n={\rm Der\,}A_n$ are studied in this paper. It is well-known that ${\rm Aut\,}A_n$ for…

Let $F_n$ be the free group of rank $n$, and let $\rho_{ab}:\mathrm{Aut}(F_n)\to \mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb Z)$ be the map induced by the natural projection $F_n\to\mathbb Z^n$. It is a long-standing open problem whether the subgroup of…

We study the algebraic structure of the automorphism group of a general right-angled Artin group. We show that this group is virtually torsion-free and has finite virtual cohomological dimension. This generalizes results proved by the…
