The BNSR-invariants of a group $G$ are a sequence $\Sigma^1(G)\supseteq \Sigma^2(G) \supseteq \cdots$ of geometric invariants that reveal important information about finiteness properties of certain subgroups of $G$. We consider the…

Let $L_{n}$ be the free Lie algebra, $F_{n}$ be the free metabelian Lie algebra, and $L_{n,c}$ be the free metabelian nilpotent of class $c$ Lie algebra of rank $n$ generated by $x_1,\ldots,x_n$ over a field $K$ of characteristic zero. We…

If $G$ is a free product of finite groups, let $\Sigma Aut_1(G)$ denote all (necessarily symmetric) automorphisms of $G$ that do not permute factors in the free product. We show that a McCullough-Miller [D. McCullough and A. Miller, {\em…

This note introduces and studies an open set of PSL(2,C) characters of a nonabelian free group, on which the action of the outer automorphism group is properly discontinuous, and which is strictly larger than the set of discrete, faithful…

The group of basis-conjugating automorphisms of the free group of rank $n$, also known as the McCool group or the welded braid group $P\Sigma_n$, contains a much-studied subgroup, called the upper McCool group $P\Sigma_n^+$. Starting from…

We characterize in terms of a combinatorial condition on the graph $\Gamma$ when the group $\mathrm{PAut}(A_\Gamma)$ of pure symmetric automorphisms of the RAAG $A_\Gamma$ and its outer version $\mathrm{POut}(A_\Gamma)$ have a descending…

Carroll symmetry is a very powerful characteristic of generic null surfaces, as it replaces the usual Poincar\'e algebra with a vanishing speed of light version thereof. These symmetries have found universal applications in the physics of…

The group of 2-by-2 matrices with integer entries and determinant $\pm > 1$ can be identified either with the group of outer automorphisms of a rank two free group or with the group of isotopy classes of homeomorphisms of a 2-dimensional…

The internal symmetry group U(3,1) of the neutral vector fields with two spins 0 and 1 is investigated. Massless fields correspond to the generalized Maxwell equations with the gradient term. The symmetry transformations in the coordinate…

We study the automorphism groups of free-by-cyclic groups and show these are finitely generated in the following cases: (i) when defining automorphism has linear growth and (ii) when the rank of the underlying free group has rank at most 3.…

We compute the cohomology groups of the pure symmetric outer automorphism group $\Sigma$POut$(A_\Gamma)$ and the pure symmetric automorphism group $\Sigma$PAut$(A_\Gamma)$ of a right-angled Artin group $A_\Gamma$. Using the equivariant…

A partial automorphism of a semigroup $S$ is any isomorphism between its subsemigroups, and the set all partial automorphisms of $S$ with respect to composition is the inverse monoid called the partial automorphism monoid of $S$. Two…

A countable poset is ultrahomogeneous if every isomorphism between its finite subposets can be extended to an automorphism. The groups $\operatorname{Aut}(A)$ of such posets $A$ have a natural topology in which $\operatorname{Aut}(A)$ are…

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 $S$ be a nonorientable surface of genus $g\ge 5$ with $n\ge 0$ punctures, and $\Mcg(S)$ its mapping class group. We define the complexity of $S$ to be the maximum rank of a free abelian subgroup of $\Mcg(S)$. Suppose that $S_1$ and…

Let G be a connected almost simple algebraic group with a Dynkin automorphism {\sigma}. Let G_{\sigma} be the connected almost simple algebraic group associated to G and {\sigma}. We prove that the dimension of the tensor invariant space of…

We show the existence of free dense subgroups, generated by 2 elements, in the holomorphic shear and overshear group of complex-Euklidean space and extend this result to the group of holomorphic automorphisms of Stein manifolds with Density…

The McCool group, denoted $P\Sigma_n$, is the group of pure symmetric automorphisms of a free group of rank $n$. The cohomology algebra $H^*(P\Sigma_n, \mathbb{Q})$ was determined by Jensen, McCammond and Meier. We prove that…

We apply Nevanlinna theory for algebraic varieties to Danielewski surfaces and investigate their group of holomorphic automorphisms. Our main result states that the overshear group which is known to be dense in the identity component of the…

We initiate the study of analogues of symmetric spaces for the family of finite dihedral groups. In particular, we investigate the structure of the automorphism group, characterize the involutions of the automorphism group, and determine…
