Using the theory of group action, we first introduce the concept of the automorphism group of an exponential family or a graphical model, thus formalizing the general notion of symmetry of a probabilistic model. This automorphism group…

Given an evolution algebra associated to a connected finite graph $\Gamma$, we exhibit a free action of the group of symmetries of $\Gamma$ on the set of automorphisms of the algebra. This allows us to explicitly describe this set and we…

We show that on groups generated by bounded activity automata, every symmetric, finitely supported probability measure has the Liouville property. More generally we show this for every group of automorphisms of bounded type of a rooted…

For a finite group G of Lie type and a prime p, we compare the automorphism groups of the fusion and linking systems of G at p with the automorphism group of G itself. When p is the defining characteristic of G, they are all isomorphic,…

We show that all the tangles in a finite graph or matroid can be distinguished by a single tree-decomposition that is invariant under the automorphisms of the graph or matroid. This comes as a corollary of a similar decomposition theorem…

We prove several results concerning automorphism groups of quasismooth complex weighted projective hypersurfaces; these generalize and strengthen existing results for hypersurfaces in ordinary projective space. First, we prove in most cases…

We study domains in complex $n$-space with automorphism group that does not depend on the full $n$ dimensions of the ambient space. A sufficient geometric condition is obtained to guarantee that a domain has such a "thin" automorphism…

Let $K$ be a field and $f:\mathbb{P}^N \to \mathbb{P}^N$ a morphism. There is a natural conjugation action on the space of such morphisms by elements of the projective linear group $\text{PGL}_{N+1}$. The group of automorphisms, or…

We prove that a permutation group in which different finite sets have different stabilizers cannot satisfy any group law. For locally compact topological groups with this property we show that almost all finite subsets of the group generate…

We determine the geometric structure of a minimal projective threefold having two `independent and commutative' automorphisms of positive topological entropy, and generalize this result to higher-dimensional smooth minimal pairs (X, G). As…

We prove that the automorphism group of an arbitrary non-abelian free group is complete. It generalizes the result by J.Dyer and E.Formanek (1975) stating the completeness of automorphism group of finitely generated free groups. Using the…

We slightly extend the notion of a natural fibre bundle by requiring diffeomorphisms of the base to lift to automorphisms of the bundle only infinitesimally, i.e. at the level of the Lie algebra of vector fields. Spin structures are natural…

The notion of tree entropy was introduced by the author as a normalized limit of the number of spanning trees in finite graphs, but is defined on random infinite rooted graphs. We give some new expressions for tree entropy; one uses…

We prove that every simplicial automorphism of the free splitting graph of a free group of at least rank 3 is induced by an outer automorphism of the free group.

Let $\mathcal F$ be a holomorphic foliation with ample canonical bundle on a smooth projective surface $X$. We obtain an upper bound on the order of its automorphism group which depends only on $K_{\mathcal F}^2$ and $K_{\mathcal F}K_{X}$,…

We offer a criterion for showing that the automorphism group of an ultrahomogeneous structure is topologically 2-generated and even has a cyclically dense conjugacy class. We then show how finite topological rank of the automorphism group…

We survey recent results on multiple transitivity of automorphism groups of affine algebraic varieties. We consider the property of infinite transitivity of the special automorphism group, which is equivalent to flexibility of the…

Let (S, B) be the log pair associated with a projective completion of a smooth quasi-projective surface V . Under the assumption that the boundary B is irreducible, we obtain an algorithm to factorize any automorphism of V into a sequence…

We study so called weakly-periodic twisted-multiplicative automorphisms of the free skew-field. In particular, we show that any automorphism of a free skew-field that is defined by a periodic automorphism of a free group is equivalent to a…

We prove that the full automorphism group and the outer automorphism group of the free group of countably infinite rank are coarsely bounded. That is, these groups admit no continuous actions on a metric space with unbounded orbits, and…
