This article investigates a few questions about orbits of local automorphisms in manifolds endowed with rigid geometric structures. We give sufficient conditions for local homogeneity in a broad class of such structures, namely Cartan…

In this note we prove that every finite collection of connected algebraic subgroups of the group of triangular automorphisms of the affine space generates a connected solvable algebraic subgroup.

We observe that, for each positive integer n > 2, each of the Artin groups of finite type A_n, B_n=C_n, and affine type \tilde A_{n-1} and \tilde C_{n-1} is a central extension of a finite index subgroup of the mapping class group of the…

Automorphism groups of locally finite trees provide a large class of examples of simple totally disconnected locally compact groups. It is desirable to understand the connections between the global and local structure of such a group.…

Let F_o be a non-archimedean locally compact field of residual characteristic not 2. Let G be a classical group over F_o (with no quaternionic algebra involved) which is not of type A_n for n>1. Let b be an element of the Lie algebra g of G…

We give a classification of maximal elements of the set of finite groups that can be realized as the full automorphism groups of polarized abelian surfaces over finite fields.

This article contains a basic introduction to the local study of finite groups, including a brief perspective on the theory of fusion systems and $p$-local finite groups. -- Este art\'iculo contiene una introducci\'on b\'asica al estudio…

This paper gives a new explicit construction of the $\mathbb{Q}$-algebraic hull for virtually solvable groups $\Gamma$ of finite abelian ranks, taking into account the spectrum $S$ of the group $\Gamma$. As an application, we make a…

The exceptional group $G_2$, when constructed over $Q_p$, may at the same time be considered as the group of automorphisms of an octonion algebra over $Q_p$, or alternatively it may be constructed as a Chevalley group from the root diagram…

We discuss the structure of finite subgroups acting on minimal Severi--Brauer varieties and provide a complete description of such groups for the varieties of dimension $p-1$, where $p \geqslant 3$ is prime.

We survey recent results on multiple transitivity of automorphism groups of affine algebraic varieties. We consider the property of infinite transitivity of the special automorphism group, which is equivalent to flexibility of the…

In this paper we characterize the group of affine transformations of a flat affine simply connected manifold whose developing map is a diffeomorphism. This is proved by making use of some simple facts about homeomorphisms of $\mathbb{R}^n$…

In this work, we study direct limits of finite dimensional basic classical simple Lie superalgebras and obtain the conjugacy classes of Cartan subalgebras under the group of automorphisms.

This paper concerns partial groups, objective partial groups, and (finite) localities, with special attention given to the quotient of a locality by a partial normal subgroup.

We prove a local-to-global result for fixed points of groups acting on affine buildings (possibly non-discrete) of types $\tilde{A}_2$ or $\tilde{C}_2$. In the discrete case, our theorem establishes the corresponding special cases of a…

We organize fundamental properties of quasi-Hamiltonian spaces on which a finite group acts, and we apply them to the theory of moduli spaces of flat connections on an oriented compact surface with boundary.

Let $G$ be a totally disconnected, locally compact group and let $H$ be a virtually flat (for example, polycyclic) group of automorphisms of $G$. We study the structure of, and relationships between, various subgroups of $G$ defined by the…

Let G be a connected semisimple group over a non-Archimedean local field. For every faithful, geometrically irreducible linear representation of G we define a compactification of the associated Bruhat-Tits building X(G). This yields a…

We will review the main results concerning the automorphism groups of saturated structures which were obtained during the two last decades. The main themes are: the small index property in the countable and uncountable cases; the…

In this paper, the complete algebraic structure of finite semisimple group algebra of a normally monomial group is described. The main result is illustrated by computing the explicit Wedderburn decomposition of finite semisimple group…
