A countable graph is ultrahomogeneous if every isomorphism between finite induced subgraphs can be extended to an automorphism. Woodrow and Lachlan showed that there are essentially four types of such countably infinite graphs: the random…

One deals with arbitrary reduced free divisors in a polynomial ring over a field of characteristic zero, by stressing the ideal theoretic and homological behavior of the corresponding singular locus. A particular emphasis is given to both…

A family $\mathcal L$ of subsets of a set $X$ is called linked if $A\cap B\ne\emptyset$ for any $A,B\in\mathcal L$. A linked family $\mathcal M$ of subsets of $X$ is maximal linked if $\mathcal M$ coincides with each linked family $\mathcal…

We define a family of polynomial ring homomorphisms generalizing the well-known Nagata automorphism. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions under which these homomorphisms are automorphisms, and verify that they satisfy the…

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.

A homogenizable structure $\mathcal{M}$ is a structure where we may add a finite amount of new relational symbols to represent some $\emptyset-$definable relations in order to make the structure homogeneous. In this article we will divide…

We discuss some finite homogeneous structures, addressing the question of universality of their automorphism groups. We also study the existence of so-called Kat\v{e}tov functors in finite categories of embeddings or homomorphisms.

In this paper, we introduce notions of partitionability and characteristic sets of homogeneous polynomials and give a complete classification of groups faithfully acting on smooth cubic fivefolds. Specifically, we prove that there exist 20…

A countable poset is ultrahomogeneous if every isomorphism between its finite subposets can be extended to an automorphism. The groups $\operatorname{Aut}(A)$ of such posets $A$ have a natural topology in which $\operatorname{Aut}(A)$ are…

We describe the groups that have the same holomorph as a finite perfect group. Our results are complete for centerless groups. When the center is non-trivial, some questions remain open. The peculiarities of the general case are illustrated…

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…

It is shown that the big free group (the set of countably-long words over a countable alphabet) is almost free, in the sense that any function from the alphabet to a compact topological group factors through a homomorphism. This statement…

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…

A description of group automorphisms of all two-dimensional algebras, considered up to isomorphism, over any basic field is provided.

A digraph is connected-homogeneous if every isomorphism between two finite connected induced subdigraphs extends to an automorphism of the whole digraph. In this paper, we completely classify the countable connected-homogeneous digraphs.

In this paper, we characterize the Hartogs domains over homogeneous Siegel domains of type II and explicitly describe their automorphism groups. Moreover we prove that any proper holomorphic map between Hartogs domains over homogeneous…

We describe and prove uniqueness of a natural homomorphism between some groups associated to finite sets.

We describe a family of rational affine surfaces S with huge groups of automorphisms in the following sense: the normal subgroup of Aut(S) generated by all its algebraic subgroups is not generated by any countable family of such subgroups,…

We study groups of homeomorphic bijections on spaces that are finite unions of compact connected linearly ordered subsets. We prove that all such groups when endowed with the topology of point-wise convergence are topological groups. }

We interpret homogenousness as a second order property and base it on the same principle as nonmonotonic logic: there might be a small set of exceptions. We use this idea to analyse fundamental questions about defeasible inheritance…
