The so-called Tits class, associated to an adjoint absolutely almost simple algebraic group, provides a cohomological obstruction for this group to admit an outer automorphism. If the group has inner type, this obstruction is the only one.…

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…

For a real semisimple Lie algebra, we consider its automorphism group quotient by its identity component. This is known as the outer automorphism group. In this article, we compute the outer automorphism groups of all real semisimple Lie…

Automorphism groups of $2$-groups of coclass at most $3$ are investigated.

In this paper, we consider the automorphisms of fine curve graphs restricted to continuously $k$-differentiable curves. We show that for closed surfaces with genus at least 2, they are induced by homeomorphisms of the surface.

We explore the existence of homomorphisms between outer automorphism groups of free groups Out(F_n) \to Out(F_m). We prove that if n > 8 is even and n \neq m \leq 2n, or n is odd and n \neq m \leq 2n - 2, then all such homomorphisms have…

A class of differential calculi is explored which is determined by a set of automorphisms of the underlying associative algebra. Several examples are presented. In particular, differential calculi on the quantum plane, the $h$-deformed…

Explicit generators are found for the group of automorphisms of the algebra of one-sided inverses of a polynomial algebra in $n$ variables. An analogue of the polynomial Jacobian homomorphism is found.

Assuming the continuum hypothesis CH, we obtain complete $*$-isomorphic classification of maximal abelian self-adjoint subalgebras (masas) of the Calkin algebra $\mathcal Q(\ell_2)$ (bounded operators on a separable Hilbert space modulo…

We study the group of automorphisms of the affine plane preserving some given curve, over any field. The group is proven to be algebraic, except in the case where the curve is a bunch of parallel lines. Moreover, a classification of the…

Trace scaling automorphisms of stable AF algebras with dimension group totally ordered are outer conjugate if the scaling factors are the same (not equal to one). This is an adaptation of a similar result for the AFD type II_infty factor by…

Let g be a simple complex finite dimensional Lie algebra and let U_q^+(g) be the positive part of the quantum enveloping algebra of g. If g is of type A_2, the group of algebra automorphisms of U_q^+(g) is a semidirect product of a…

We compute explicitly the automorphism and outer automorphism group of all large-type free-of-infinity Artin groups. Our strategy involves reconstructing the associated Deligne complexes in a purely algebraic manner, i.e. in a way that is…

We survey the use of extra-set-theoretic hypotheses, mainly the continuum hypothesis, in the C*-algebra literature. The Calkin algebra emerges as a basic object of interest.

In this paper we characterize the automorphisms of Hilbert space effect algebras by means of their preserving properties which concern certain relations and quantities appearing in quantum measurement theory.

In this paper we prove that any local automorphism on the solvable Leibniz algebras with null-filiform and naturally graded non-Lie filiform nilradicals, whose dimension of complementary space is maximal is an automorphism. Furthermore, the…

Let $\Psi : X_1 \to X_2$ be an isomorphism of closed affine algebraic subvarities of $\C^n$ such that $n > \max (2\dim X_1, \dim TX_1)$. We prove that $\Psi$ can be extended to a holomorphic automorphism of $\C^n$. Furthermore, when $\Psi$…

Let $A_n$ be an $n$-dimensional algebra with zero multiplication over a field $K$ of characteristic $0$. Then its universal (multiplicative) enveloping algebra $U_n$ in the variety of left-symmetric algebras is a homogeneous quadratic…

We describe the automorphism groups of elliptic Poisson algebras on polynomial algebras in three variables and give an explicit set of generators and defining relations for this group.

We give a cohomological criterion for existence of outer automorphisms of a semisimple algebraic group over an arbitrary field. This criterion is then applied to the special case of groups of type D_2n over a global field, which completes…
