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.

Self equivalences of classifying spaces of $p$-local compact groups are well understood by means of the algebraic structure that gives rise to them, but explicit descriptions are lacking. In this paper we use a construction of Robinson of…

Let A be an exact C^*-algebra, let G be a locally compact group, and let (A,G,\alpha) be a C*-dynamical system. Each automorphism \alpha_g induces a spatial automorphism Ad_{\lamba_g} on the reduced crossed product A\times_\alpha G. In this…

For a path-connected metric space $(X,d)$, the $n$-th homotopy group $\pi_n(X)$ inherits a natural pseudometric from the $n$-th iterated loop space with the uniform metric. This pseudometric gives $\pi_n(X)$ the structure of a topological…

Autostackability for finitely generated groups is defined via a topological property of the associated Cayley graph which can be encoded in a finite state automaton. Autostackable groups have solvable word problem and an effective inductive…

We investigate some situation in which automorphisms of a group G are uniquely determined by their restrictions to a proper subgroup H. Much of the paper is devoted to studying under which additional hypotheses this property forces G to be…

A group $G$ is called hereditarily non-topologizable if, for every $H\le G$, no quotient of $H$ admits a non-discrete Hausdorff topology. We construct first examples of infinite hereditarily non-topologizable groups. This allows us to prove…

In the present paper, we show that many combinatorial and topological objects, such as maps, hypermaps, three-dimensional pavings, constellations and branched coverings of the two--sphere admit any given finite automorphism group. This…

We construct a model for the space of automorphisms of a connected p-compact group in terms of the space of automorphisms of its maximal torus normalizer and its root datum. As a consequence we show that any homomorphism to the outer…

A topological group $G$ is extremely amenable if every continuous action of $G$ on a compact space has a fixed point. Using the concentration of measure techniques developed by Gromov and Milman, we prove that the group of automorphisms of…

We study the automorphism group of an infinite minimal shift $(X,\sigma)$ such that the complexity difference function, $p(n+1)-p(n)$, is bounded. We give some new bounds on $\mbox{Aut}(X,\sigma)/\langle \sigma \rangle$ and also study the…

We associate each endomorphism of a finite cyclic group with a digraph and study many properties of this digraph, including its adjacent matrix and automorphism group.

Suppose that $G$ is a topological group and $ C $ a compact subset of $G$. In this paper we define group nonexpansive mappings and then we consider $\sc = \{T_{i} : i \in I \}$ as a family of the group nonexpansive mappings on $C$. Also we…

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…

Given an integer $k\ge3$ and a group $G$ of odd order, if there exists a $2$-$(v,k,1)$-design and if $v$ is sufficiently large, then there is such a design whose automorphism group has a subgroup isomorphic to $G$. A weaker result is proved…

We study so called weakly-periodic twisted-multiplicative automorphisms of the free skew-field. In particular, we show that any automorphism of a free skew-field that is defined by a periodic automorphism of a free group is equivalent to a…

We show that every abstract homomorphism $\varphi$ from a locally compact group $L$ to a graph product $G_\Gamma$, endowed with the discrete topology, is either continuous or $\varphi(L)$ lies in a 'small' parabolic subgroup. In particular,…

We classify isotopy classes of automorphisms (self-homeomorphisms) of 3-manifolds satisfying the Thurston Geometrization Conjecture. The classification is similar to the classification of automorphisms of surfaces developed by Nielsen and…

For every countable infinite group that admits $\mathbb{Z}$ as a homomorphic image, we show that for each $m\in\mathbb{N}$, there exists a minimal action whose topological sequence entropy is $\log(m)$. Furthermore, for every countable…

When dealing with symmetry properties of mathematical objects, one of the fundamental questions is to determine their full automorphism group. In this paper this question is considered in the context of even/odd permutations dichotomy. More…
