This paper investigates the relationship between strata of abelian differentials and various mapping class groups afforded by means of the topological monodromy representation. Building off of prior work of the authors, we show that the…
We develop the theory of $H$-graded manifolds for any finitely generated abelian group, using tools from representation theory. Furthermore, we introduce and investigate the notion of $H$-graded coverings of supermanifolds in the case where…
Let $F_n$ be the free group on $n\ge 2$ elements and $\A(F_n)$ its group of automorphisms. In this paper we present a rich collection of linear representations of $\A(F_n)$ arising through the action of finite index subgroups of it on…
For most classical and similitude groups, we show that each element can be written as a product of two transformations that a) preserve or almost preserve the underlying form and b) whose squares are certain scalar maps. This generalizes…
For a group $G$, let $U$ be the group of units of the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z}G$. The group $G$ is said to have the normalizer property if $\text{N}_U(G)=\text{Z}(U)G$. It is shown that Blackburn groups have the normalizer property.…
We define several "standard" subgroups of the automorphism group Aut(G) of a partially commutative (right-angled Artin) group and use these standard subgroups to describe decompositions of Aut(G). If C is the commutation graph of G, we show…
Given an affine algebraic variety $X$, we prove that if the neutral component $\mathrm{Aut}^\circ(X)$ of the automorphism group consists of algebraic elements, then it is nested, i.e., is a direct limit of algebraic subgroups. This improves…
We improve results of Belair, Macintyre, and Scanlon on valued fields with a valuation preserving automorphism by weakening their assumptions on the residue difference field. In the equicharacteristic zero case we also determine the induced…
Given a countable group $G$ splitting as a free product $G=G_1\ast\dots\ast G_k\ast F_N$, we establish classification results for subgroups of the group $Out(G,\mathcal{F})$ of all outer automorphisms of $G$ that preserve the conjugacy…
We prove a cohomological property for a class of finite $p$-groups introduced earlier by M. Y. Xu, which we call semi-abelian $p$-groups. This result implies that a semi-abelian $p$-group has non-inner automorphisms of order $p$, which…
A p-group G is p-central if the central quotient has exponent p. We prove that for a subset of finite p-central p-groups, the order of the group G divides the order of Aut(G).
Let $V$ be a complete discrete valuation ring, and let $G$ be either a word-hyperbolic group or a reductive $p$-adic group. We prove that the canonical morphism $V[G] \to V[G]^\dagger$ from the group algebra to its dagger completion is an…
We prove that if $f:X \rightarrow A$ is a morphism from a smooth projective variety $X$ to an abelian variety $A$ over a number field $K$, and $G$ is a subgroup of automorphisms of $X$ satisfying certain properties, and if a prime $p$…
In this article, we study the outer automorphism group of a group G decomposed as a finite graph of group with finite edge groups and finitely generated vertex groups with at most one end. We show that Out(G) is essentially obtained by…
We classify homomorphisms of the Baumslag-Gersten group into itself. We prove it is Hopfian and co-Hopfian. We show that the group of outer automorphisms of the Baumslag-Gersten group is isomorphic to the dyadic rationals with the addition…
We study properties of a group, abelian group, ring, or monoid $B$ which (a) guarantee that every homomorphism from an infinite direct product $\prod_I A_i$ of objects of the same sort onto $B$ factors through the direct product of finitely…
We show that the stable cohomology of automorphism groups of free groups with coefficients obtained by applying Hom(-,-) to tensor powers of the abelianization, is equipped with the structure of a wheeled PROP H. We define another wheeled…
A subgroup $H$ of a topological abelian group $X$ is said to be characterized by a sequence $\mathbf v =(v_n)$ of characters of $X$ if $H=\{x\in X:v_n(x)\to 0\ \text{in}\ \mathbb T\}$. We study the basic properties of characterized…
We prove that for a free product $G$ with free factor system $\mathcal{G}$, any automorphism $\phi$ preserving $\mathcal{G}$, atoroidal (in a sense relative to $\mathcal{G}$) and none of whose power send two different conjugates of…
We study the automorphisms of a Cayley graph that preserve its natural edge-colouring. More precisely, we are interested in groups G, such that every such automorphism of every connected Cayley graph on G has a very simple form: the…
