Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of order $q=p^h$ with $p>2$ prime and $h>1$, and let $\mathbb{F}_{\bar{q}}$ be a subfield of $\mathbb{F}_q$. From any two $\bar{q}$-linearized polynomials $L_1,L_2 \in \overline{\mathbb{F}}_q[T]$ of…

Let $\mathcal{X}$ be an irreducible algebraic curve defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of characteristic $p>2$. Assume that the $\mathbb{F}_q$-automorphism group of $\mathcal{X}$ admits as an automorphism group the direct product of…

In this paper, we determine the reduced automorphism groups of hyperelliptic curves of a small genus in characteristic $2$, when they are of $2$-rank $0$. Such a curve is an Artin-Schreier curve defined in the form $y^2-y=f(x)$ for a…

If $G$ is a finite group and $k =q>2$ or $k=q+1$ for a prime power $q$ then, for infinitely many integers $v$, there is a $2$-$(v,k,1)$-design ${\bf D}$ for which ${\rm Aut} {\bf D}\cong G$.

We determine the automorphism group for some well known constructions of finite semifields. In particular, we compute the automorphism group of Sandler's semifields and in certain cases the automorphism groups of the Hughes-Kleinfeld and…

In this article we construct for any prime power $q$ and odd $n \ge 5$, a new $\mathbb{F}_{q^{2n}}$-maximal curve $\mathcal X_n$. Like the Garcia--G\" uneri--Stichtenoth maximal curves, our curves generalize the Giulietti--Korchm\'aros…

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…

We give a complete classification of the finite $2$-groups $G$ for which the automorphism group $\operatorname{Aut}(G)$ acting naturally on $G$ has three orbits. There are two infinite families and one additional group, of order $2^9$. All…

In this manuscript, we investigate the automorphism group of a maximal function field with the second largest possible genus over finite field of even characteristic, which is called the Abd\'on--Torres function field. As an application, we…

We classify finite subgroups of automorphism groups of non-trivial Severi--Brauer varieties of dimension $q-1$, where $q \geqslant 3$ is a prime number, over an arbitrary field. We also construct families of examples, namely, for every…

We give a new computer-assisted proof of the classification of maximal subgroups of the simple group ${}^2E_6(2)$ and its extensions by any subgroup of the outer automorphism group $S_3$. This is not a new result, but no earlier proof…

In this paper we classify all finite 2-groups of class 2 for which every automorphism of order 2 leaving the Frattini subgroup elementwise fixed is inner. We prove that every such group G is isomorphic to Q(n; r) = <a, b| a^{2n}= b^{2r}= 1;…

For any algebraically closed field $K$ and any endomorphism $f$ of $\mathbb{P}^1(K)$ of degree at least 2, the automorphisms of $f$ are the M\"obius transformations that commute with $f$, and these form a finite subgroup of…
