An automorphism of a building is called uniclass if the Weyl distance between any chamber and its image lies in a unique (twisted) conjugacy class of the Coxeter group. In a previous paper we characterised uniclass automorphisms of…

An automorphism of a spherical building is called \textit{domestic} if it maps no chamber to an opposite chamber. In previous work the classification of domestic automorphisms in large spherical buildings of types $\mathsf{F}_4$,…

An automorphism of a spherical building is called domestic if it maps no chamber to an opposite chamber. In this paper we classify domestic automorphisms of spherical buildings of classical type.

We consider closed, Weyl-transitive groups of automorphisms of thick buildings. For each element of such a group, we derive a combinatorial formula for its scale and establish the existence of a tidy subgroup for it that equals the…

To each automorphism of a spherical building there is naturally associated an "opposition diagram", which encodes the types of the simplices of the building that are mapped onto opposite simplices. If no chamber (that is, no maximal…

Let $G$ be a connected semisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let $\th$ be an automorphism of $G$. We give a characterization of $\th$-twisted spherical conjugacy classes in $G$ by a…

We classify the automorphisms of a Moufang hexagon mapping no chamber to an opposite chamber (such automorphisms are called domestic). This forms part of a larger program to classify domestic automorphisms of Moufang spherical buildings.

A building is a simplicial complex with a covering by Coxeter complexes (called apartments) satisfying certain combinatorial conditions. A building whose apartments are spherical (respectively Euclidean) Coxeter complexes has a natural…

Assume that $M$ is a smooth manifold with a symplectic structure $\omega$. Then Weyl manifolds on the symplectic manifold $M$ are Weyl algebra bundles endowed with suitable transition functions. From the geometrical point of view, Weyl…

If f is a nontrivial automorphism of a thick building Delta of purely infinite type, we prove that there is no bound on the distance that f moves a chamber. This has the following group-theoretic consequence: If G is a group of…

In this paper we introduce, for each closed orientable surface, an analogue of Tits buildings adjusted to investigation of the Torelli group of this surface. It is a simplicial complex with some additional structure. We call this complex…

We prove that a convex subcomplex of a spherical building of type F4 or E6 is a subbuilding or the automorphisms of the subcomplex fix a point on it. Our approach is differential-geometric and based on the theory of metric spaces with…

We discuss a conjecture which says that the automorphism group of the Weyl algebra in characteristic zero is canonically isomorphic to the automorphism group of the corresponding Poisson algebra of classical polynomial symbols. Several…

We study twisted conjugacy classes of the unit element in different groups. Fel'shtyn and Troitsky showed that the twisted conjugacy class of the unit element of an abelian group is a subgroup for every automorphism. The structure is…
