The \emph{shift map} $\sigma$ is the self-homeomorphism of $\omega^* = \beta\omega \setminus \omega$ induced by the successor function $n \mapsto n+1$ on $\omega$. We prove that the isomorphism classes of $\sigma$ and $\sigma^{-1}$ cannot…

A trivial automorphism of the Boolean algebra $\mathcal P(\mathbb N) / \mathrm{Fin}$ is an automorphism induced by the action of some function $\mathbb N \rightarrow \mathbb N$. In models of forcing axioms all automorphisms are trivial, and…

We prove that for any nondegenerate dendrite $D$ there exist topologically mixing maps $F : D \to D$ and $f : [0, 1] \to [0, 1]$, such that the natural extensions (aka shift homeomorphisms) $\sigma_F$ and $\sigma_f$ are conjugate, and…

We study the automorphism group of an infinite minimal shift $(X,\sigma)$ such that the complexity difference function, $p(n+1)-p(n)$, is bounded. We give some new bounds on $\mbox{Aut}(X,\sigma)/\langle \sigma \rangle$ and also study the…

We address the following open problem, implicit in the 1990 article "Automorphisms of one-sided subshifts of finite type" of Boyle, Franks and Kitchens (BFK): "Does there exists an element $\psi$ in the group of automorphisms of the…

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 prove that it is consistent with $\mathfrak c>\aleph_2$ that all automorphisms of $\mathcal P(\omega)/\mbox{fin}$ are trivial.

In this article we continue the study of automorphism groups of constant length substitution shifts and also their topological factors. We show that up to conjugacy, all roots of the identity map are letter exchanging maps, and all other…

We show that for any continuous monotonic fixed-point free automorphism $f$ on a $\sigma$-compact subgroup $G\subset \mathbb R$ there exists a binary operation $+_f$ such that $\langle G, +_f\rangle$ is a topological group topologically…

Let $G$ be a closed highly homogeneous subgroup of $S_{\infty}$ not involving circular orderings. We show that the closure of a conjugacy class from $G$ contains a conjugacy class which is comeagre in it. Furthermore, we show that the…

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 $\sigma$ be an automorphism of a field $K$ with fixed field $F$. We study the automorphisms of nonassociative unital algebras which are canonical generalizations of the associative quotient algebras $K[t;\sigma]/fK[t;\sigma]$ obtained…

The action of a finite group $G$ on a subshift of finite type $X$ is called free, if every point has trivial stabilizer, and it is called inert, if the induced action on the dimension group of $X$ is trivial. We show that any two free inert…

An automorphism $f$ of a closed orientable surface $\Sigma$ is said to be extendable over the 3-sphere $S^3$ if $f$ extends to an automorphism of the pair $(S^3, \Sigma)$ with respect to some embedding $\Sigma \hookrightarrow S^3$. We prove…

Ishizaka classified up to conjugacy hyperelliptic periodic automorphisms of a surface. Here, an involution $I$ on a surface $\Sigma_{g}$ is hyperelliptic if and only if $\Sigma_{g}/\langle I \rangle$ is homeomorphic to $S^2$. In this…

A one-sided shift of finite type $(X_A,\sigma_A)$ determines on the one hand a Cuntz-Krieger algebra $\mathcal{O}_A$ with a distinguished abelian subalgebra $\mathcal{D}_A$ and a certain completely positive map $\tau_A$ on $\mathcal{O}_A$.…

An $\omega$-tree-automatic structure is a relational structure whose domain and relations are accepted by Muller or Rabin tree automata. We investigate in this paper the isomorphism problem for $\omega$-tree-automatic structures. We prove…

We prove that for every countable discrete group $G$, there is a $G$-flow on $\omega^*$ that has every $G$-flow of weight $\leq\! \aleph_1$ as a quotient. It follows that, under the Continuum Hypothesis, there is a universal $G$-flow of…

We show that for every "locally finite" unit-preserving completely positive map P acting on a C*-algebra, there is a corresponding *-automorphism \alpha of another unital C*-algebra such that the two sequences P, P^2,P^3,... and \alpha,…

If $\sigma$ is an automorphism of order $p$ of the semisimple group $\mathbf{G}$, there is a natural correspondence between mod $p$ cohomological automorphic forms on $\mathbf{G}$ and $\mathbf{G}^\sigma$. We describe this correspondence in…
