The main result of this paper is that every non-trivial Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of a closed oriented surface of genus at least one has periodic points of arbitrarily high period. The same result is true for S^2 provided the…

We prove that the group $\mathrm{SAut}_{\mathrm{k}}(\mathbb{A}^2)$ is simple as an algebraic group of infinite dimension, over any infinite field $\mathrm{k}$, by proving that any closed normal subgroup is either trivial or the whole group.…

Let $f$ be an endomorphism of the projective line. There is a natural conjugation action on the space of such morphisms by elements of the projective linear group. The group of automorphisms, or stabilizer group, of a given $f$ for this…

Starting with a unit-preserving normal completely positive map L: M --> M acting on a von Neumann algebra - or more generally a dual operator system - we show that there is a unique reversible system \alpha: N --> N (i.e., a complete order…

We prove that finitely generated virtually free groups are stable in permutations. As an application, we show that almost-periodic almost-automorphisms of labelled graphs are close to periodic automorphisms.

In this paper we determine automorphism groups of cyclic algebraic curves defined over finite fields of any characteristic.

In this paper, we first construct $k$-dimensional compact complex manifolds from automorphisms of $\mathbb{C}^k$ which admit a fixed attracting point at infinity. Then, we charactize the fundamental group as well as the universal covering…

Suppose that a finite $p$-group $P$ admits a Frobenius group of automorphisms $FH$ with kernel $F$ that is a cyclic $p$-group and with complement $H$. It is proved that if the fixed-point subgroup $C_P(H)$ of the complement is nilpotent of…

In a recent paper [3], the authors introduced a map $\mathcal{F}$ which associates a Deitmar scheme (which is defined over the field with one element, denoted by $\mathbb{F}_1$) with any given graph $\Gamma$. By base extension, a scheme…

The main result of the paper is the following theorem. Let $q$ be a prime, $n$ a positive integer and $A$ an elementary abelian group of order $q^2$. Suppose that $A$ acts coprimely on a finite group $G$ and assume that for each $a\in…

We determine the structure of automorphism groups of finite graphs of bounded Hadwiger number. Our proof includes a structural analysis of finite edge-transitive graphs. In particular, we show that for connected, $K_{h+1}$-minor-free,…

We study a class of finite groups $G$ which behave similarly to elementary abelian $p$-groups with $p$ prime, that is, there exists a subgroup $N$ such that all elements of $G\setminus N$ are conjugate or inverse-conjugate under $\Aut(G)$.…

We study the iterative behavior of the family of 3-step linear fractional recurrences and the family of birational maps they define. We determine all the possible periodicities within this family or, equivalently, the birational maps of…

An element $g$ of a group $G$ is a test element if every endomorphism of $G$ that fixes $g$ is an automorphism. Let $G$ be a free group of finite rank, an orientable surface group of genus $n \geq 2$, or a non-orientable surface group of…

An arbitrary homomorphism between groups is nonincreasing for stable commutator length, and there are infinitely many (injective) homomorphisms between free groups which strictly decrease the stable commutator length of some elements.…

Automorphic loops are loops in which all inner mappings are automorphisms. A large class of automorphic loops is obtained as follows: Let $m$ be a positive even integer, $G$ an abelian group, and $\alpha$ an automorphism of $G$ that…

We show that any free product of two countable groups, one of them being infinite, admits a faithful and homogeneous action on the Random Graph. We also show that a large class of HNN extensions or free products, amalgamated over a finite…

Given two subgroups $H,K$ of a finite group $G$, the probability that a pair of random elements from $H$ and $K$ commutes is denoted by $Pr(H,K)$. Suppose that a finite group $G$ admits a group of coprime automorphisms $A$ and let…

We consider the family $f_{a,b}(x,y)=(y,(y+a)/(x+b))$ of birational maps of the plane and the parameter values $(a,b)$ for which $f_{a,b}$ gives an automorphism of a rational surface. In particular, we find values for which $f_{a,b}$ is an…

We study the stabilized automorphism group of minimal and, more generally, certain transitive dynamical systems. Our approach involves developing new algebraic tools to extract information about the rational eigenvalues of these systems…
