We present sufficient conditions for the triviality of the automorphism group of regular Toeplitz subshifts and give a broad class of examples from the class of $\mathcal{B}$-free subshifts satisfying them, extending [10]. On the other hand…

We characterize the groups isomorphic to full automorphism groups of ordered abelian groups. The result will follow from classical theorems on ordered groups adding an argument from proofs used to realize rings as endomorphism rings of…

An m-endomorphism of a free semigroup is an endomorphism that sends every generator to a word of length at most m. Two m-endomorphisms are combinatorially equivalent if they are conjugate under an automorphism of the semigroup. In this…

We show that the automorphism group of every zero entropy infinite shift admits a "drift" homomorphism to $(\mathbb{R},+)$ that maps the shift map to 1. This homomorphism arises as the expectation, under an invariant measure, of a cocycle…

In this paper, we consider the probability that a randomly chosen automorphism of a finite group fixes a randomly chosen element of a subgroup of that group. We obtain several new results as well as generalizations and improvements of some…

We show that every automorphism of the congruence completion of the extended mapping class group that preserves the set of conjugacy classes of procyclic groups generated by Dehn twists is inner, and that its automorphism group is naturally…

We first show that any connected algebraic group over a perfect field is the neutral component of the automorphism group scheme of some normal projective variety. Then we show that very few connected algebraic semigroups can be realized as…

We prove that for a suitably nice class of random substitutions, their corresponding subshifts have automorphism groups that contain an infinite simple subgroup and a copy of the automorphism group of a full shift. Hence, they are…

Any endomorphism of a finitely generated free group naturally descends to an injective endomorphism of its stable quotient. In this paper, we prove a geometric incarnation of this phenomenon: namely, that every expanding irreducible train…

We give a classification of iwip outer automorphisms of the free group, by discussing the properties of their attracting and repelling trees.

A map is given showing that convolutions of independent random variables over a finite group and matrix multiplications of doubly stochastic matrices are homomorphic. As an application, a short proof is given to the theorem that the…

The description of the automorphism group of group $<a, b; [a^m,b^n]=1>$ ($m,n>1$) in terms of generators and defining relations is given. This result is applied to prove that any normal automorphism of every such group is inner.

We apply results proved in [Li19] to the linear order expansions of non-trivial free homogeneous structures and the universal n-linear order for $n\geq 2$, and prove the simplicity of their automorphism groups.

We work with a finite relational vocabulary with at least one relation symbol with arity at least 2. Fix any integer $m > 1$. For almost all finite structures (labelled or unlabelled) such that at least $m$ elements are moved by some…

Let $F$ be a free group of finite rank. We say that the monomorphism problem in $F$ is decidable if for any two elements $u$ and $v$ in $F$, there is an algorithm that determines whether there exists a monomorphism of $F$ that sends $u$ to…

We describe the automorphism group of the endomorphism semigroup $\End(K[x_1,...,x_n])$ of ring $K[x_1,...,x_n]$ of polynomials over an {\it arbitrary} field $K$. A similar result is obtained for automorphism group of the category of…

Let $\phi$ be an automorphism of a free group $F_n$ of rank $n$, and let $M_{\phi}=F_n \rtimes_{\phi} \mathbb{Z}$ be the corresponding mapping torus of $\phi$. We study the group $Out(M_{\phi})$ under certain technical conditions on $\phi$.…

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;…

We classify by numerical invariants the finite subgroups $H$ of a primary abelian group $G$ for which every homomorphism or monomorphism of $H$ into $G$, or every endomorphism of $H$, extends to an endomorphism of $G$. We apply these…

We show that the full group C$^*$-algebra of the free product of two nontrivial countable amenable discrete groups, where at least one of them has more than two elements, is primitive. We also show that in many cases, this C$^*$-algebra is…
