Automorphisms of $(λ) / ℐ_{κ}$

Paul Larson, Paul McKenney (2016)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We study conditions on automorphisms of Boolean algebras of the form $(λ) / ℐ_{κ}$ (where λ is an uncountable cardinal and $ℐ_{κ}$ is the ideal of sets of cardinality less than κ ) which allow one to conclude that a given automorphism is trivial. We show (among other things) that every automorphism of $(2^{κ}) / ℐ_{κ ⁺}$ which is trivial on all sets of cardinality κ⁺ is trivial, and that $M A_{ℵ ₁}$ implies both that every automorphism of (ℝ)/Fin is trivial on a cocountable set and that every automorphism of (ℝ)/Ctble is trivial. ...

Coleman automorphisms of finite groups with a self-centralizing normal subgroup

Jinke Hai (2020)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $G$ be a finite group with a normal subgroup $N$ such that $C_{G} (N) \leq N$ . It is shown that under some conditions, Coleman automorphisms of $G$ are inner. Interest in such automorphisms arose from the study of the normalizer problem for integral group rings.

On Automorphisms of the Affine Cremona Group

Hanspeter Kraft, Immanuel Stampfli (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We show that every automorphism of the group $𝒢_{n} : = A u t (𝔸^{n})$ of polynomial automorphisms of complex affine $n$ -space $𝔸^{n} = ℂ^{n}$ is inner up to field automorphisms when restricted to the subgroup $T 𝒢_{n}$ of tame automorphisms. This generalizes a result of Julie Deserti who proved this in dimension $n = 2$ where all automorphisms are tame: $T 𝒢_{2} = 𝒢_{2}$ . The methods are different, based on arguments from algebraic group actions.

Artinian automorphisms of infinite groups

Antonella Leone (2006)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

An automorphism a of a group G is called an artinian automorphism if for every strictly descending chain $H_{1}>H_{2}>\cdots>H_{n}>\cdots$ of subgroups of G there exists a positive integer $m$ such that $(H_{n})^{a}=H_{n}$ for every $n\geq m$ . In this paper we show that in many cases the group of all artinian automorphisms of $G$ coincides with the group of all power automorphisms of $G$ .

The group of automorphisms of $L_{\infty}$ is algebraically reflexive

Félix Cabello Sánchez (2004)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We study the reflexivity of the automorphism (and the isometry) group of the Banach algebras $L_{\infty} (μ)$ for various measures μ. We prove that if μ is a non-atomic σ-finite measure, then the automorphism group (or the isometry group) of $L_{\infty} (μ)$ is [algebraically] reflexive if and only if $L_{\infty} (μ)$ is *-isomorphic to $L_{\infty} [0, 1]$ . For purely atomic measures, we show that the group of automorphisms (or isometries) of $ℓ_{\infty} (Γ)$ is reflexive if and only if Γ has non-measurable cardinal. So, for most “practical” purposes, the automorphism...

Automorphisms and derivations of a Fréchet algebra of locally integrable functions

F. Ghahramani, J. McClure (1992)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We find representations for the automorphisms, derivations and multipliers of the Fréchet algebra $L ¹_{l o c}$ of locally integrable functions on the half-line $ℝ^{+}$ . We show, among other things, that every automorphism θ of $L ¹_{l o c}$ is of the form $θ = φ_{a} e^{λ X} e^{D}$ , where D is a derivation, X is the operator of multiplication by coordinate, λ is a complex number, a > 0, and $φ_{a}$ is the dilation operator $(φ_{a} f) (x) = a f (a x)$ ( $f \in L ¹_{l o c}$ , $x \in ℝ^{+}$ ). It is also shown that the automorphism group is a topological group with the topology of uniform convergence...

The tame automorphism group of an affine quadric threefold acting on a square complex

Cinzia Bisi, Jean-Philippe Furter, Stéphane Lamy (2014)

Journal de l’École polytechnique — Mathématiques

Similarity:

We study the group $Tame ({SL}_{2})$ of tame automorphisms of a smooth affine $3$ -dimensional quadric, which we can view as the underlying variety of ${SL}_{2} (ℂ)$ . We construct a square complex on which the group admits a natural cocompact action, and we prove that the complex is $CAT (0)$ and hyperbolic. We propose two applications of this construction: We show that any finite subgroup in $Tame ({SL}_{2})$ is linearizable, and that $Tame ({SL}_{2})$ satisfies the Tits alternative.

Automorphisms of the algebra of operators in $^{p}$ preserving conditioning

Ryszard Jajte (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let α be an isometric automorphism of the algebra $_{p}$ of bounded linear operators in $^{p} [0, 1]$ (p ≥ 1). Then α transforms conditional expectations into conditional expectations if and only if α is induced by a measure preserving isomorphism of [0, 1].

Lifting of homeomorphisms to branched coverings of a disk

Bronisław Wajnryb, Agnieszka Wiśniowska-Wajnryb (2012)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider a simple, possibly disconnected, d-sheeted branched covering π of a closed 2-dimensional disk D by a surface X. The isotopy classes of homeomorphisms of D which are pointwise fixed on the boundary of D and permute the branch values, form the braid group Bₙ, where n is the number of branch values. Some of these homeomorphisms can be lifted to homeomorphisms of X which fix pointwise the fiber over the base point. They form a subgroup $L^{π}$ of finite index in Bₙ. For each equivalence...

On automorphisms of the Banach space $ℓ_{\infty} / c ₀$

Piotr Koszmider, Cristóbal Rodríguez-Porras (2016)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We investigate Banach space automorphisms $T : ℓ_{\infty} / c ₀ \to ℓ_{\infty} / c ₀$ focusing on the possibility of representing their fragments of the form $T_{B, A} : ℓ_{\infty} (A) / c ₀ (A) \to ℓ_{\infty} (B) / c ₀ (B)$ for A,B ⊆ ℕ infinite by means of linear operators from $ℓ_{\infty} (A)$ into $ℓ_{\infty} (B)$ , infinite A×B-matrices, continuous maps from B* = βB∖B into A*, or bijections from B to A. This leads to the analysis of general bounded linear operators on $ℓ_{\infty} / c ₀$ . We present many examples, introduce and investigate several classes of operators, for some of them we obtain satisfactory representations and for...

More on tie-points and homeomorphism in ℕ*

Alan Dow, Saharon Shelah (2009)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

A point x is a (bow) tie-point of a space X if X∖x can be partitioned into (relatively) clopen sets each with x in its closure. We denote this as $X = A ⋈_{x} B$ where A, B are the closed sets which have a unique common accumulation point x. Tie-points have appeared in the construction of non-trivial autohomeomorphisms of βℕ = ℕ* (by Veličković and Shelah Steprans) and in the recent study (by Levy and Dow Techanie) of precisely 2-to-1 maps on ℕ*. In these cases the tie-points have been the unique...

Infinitesimal CR automorphisms for a class of polynomial models

Martin Kolář, Francine Meylan (2017)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

In this paper we study infinitesimal CR automorphisms of Levi degenerate hypersurfaces. We illustrate the recent general results of [18], [17], [15], on a class of concrete examples, polynomial models in $ℂ^{3}$ of the form $ℑ w = ℜ (P (z) \bar{Q (z)})$ , where $P$ and $Q$ are weighted homogeneous holomorphic polynomials in $z = (z_{1}, z_{2})$ . We classify such models according to their Lie algebra of infinitesimal CR automorphisms. We also give the first example of a non monomial model which admits a nonlinear rigid automorphism. ...

The Banach-Lie Group of Lie Automorphisms of an $H^{*}$ -Algebra

Antonio J. Calderón Martín, Candido Martín González (2007)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

We study the Banach-Lie group $\operatorname{Aut}(A^{-})$ of Lie automorphisms of a complex associative $H^{*}$ -algebra. Also some consequences about its Lie algebra, the algebra of Lie derivations of $A$ , are obtained. For a topologically simple $A$ , in the infinite-dimensional case we have $\operatorname{Aut}(A^{-})_{0}=\operatorname{Aut}(A)$ implying $\operatorname{Der}(A)=\operatorname{Der}(A^{-})$ . In the finite dimensional case $\operatorname{Aut}(A^{-})_{0}$ is a direct product of $\operatorname{Aut}(A)$ and a certain subgroup of Lie derivations $\delta$ from $A$ to its center, annihilating commutators.

Automorphism group of green algebra of weak Hopf algebra corresponding to Sweedler Hopf algebra

Liufeng Cao, Dong Su, Hua Yao (2023)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $r (𝔴_{2}^{0})$ be the Green ring of the weak Hopf algebra $𝔴_{2}^{0}$ corresponding to Sweedler’s 4-dimensional Hopf algebra $H_{2}$ , and let $Aut (R (𝔴_{2}^{0}))$ be the automorphism group of the Green algebra $R (𝔴_{2}^{0}) = r (𝔴_{2}^{0}) \otimes_{ℤ} ℂ$ . We show that the quotient group $Aut (R (𝔴_{2}^{0})) / C_{2} ≅ S_{3}$ , where $C_{2}$ contains the identity map and is isomorphic to the infinite group $(ℂ^{*}, \times)$ and $S_{3}$ is the symmetric group of order 6.

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Similarity:

The group $Aut_{sn}G$ of all automorphisms leaving invariant every subnormal subgroup of the group $G$ is studied. In particular it is proved that $Aut_{sn}G$ is metabelian if $G$ is soluble, and that $Aut_{sn}G$ is either finite or abelian if $G$ is polycyclic.

Erratum to the paper "On the disc theorem" (Ann. Polon. Math. 55 (1991), 1-10)

Cabiria Andreian Cazacu (1992)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Due to a technical error, part of a sentence was omitted on the top of page 8. The first line should read: “where $f_{p}^{k}$ , $p = a_{l}$ or $b_{l}$ , means the number of folds of the covering $(δ_{k}^{''}, T |, Δ_{l}^{''})$ ending at p, i.e. covering a neighbourhood of p in $a_{l} b_{l}$ without covering p itself”.

Polycyclic groups with automorphisms of order four

Tao Xu, Fang Zhou, Heguo Liu (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

In this paper, we study the structure of polycyclic groups admitting an automorphism of order four on the basis of Neumann’s result, and prove that if $α$ is an automorphism of order four of a polycyclic group $G$ and the map $ϕ : G \to G$ defined by $g^{ϕ} = [g, α]$ is surjective, then $G$ contains a characteristic subgroup $H$ of finite index such that the second derived subgroup $H^{''}$ is included in the centre of $H$ and $C_{H} (α^{2})$ is abelian, both $C_{G} (α^{2})$ and $G / [G, α^{2}]$ are abelian-by-finite. These results extend recent and classical results in...

On Ponomarev-Systems

Ying Ge, Lin Shou (2007)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

In this paper the relations of mappings and families of subsets are investigated in Ponomarev-systems, and the following results are obtained. (1) $f$ is a sequence-covering (resp. 1-sequence-covering) mapping iff $\mathcal{P}$ is a csf -network (resp. snf -network) of $X$ for a Ponomarev-system $(f,M,X,\mathcal{P})$ ; (2) $f$ is a sequence-covering (resp. 1-sequence-covering) mapping iff every $\mathcal{P}_{n}$ is a cs-cover (resp. wsn-cover) of $X$ for a Ponomarev-system $(f,M,X,\{\mathcal{P}_{n}\})$ . As applications of these results, some relations between sequence-covering...

We study the orientation preserving involutions of the orientable 3-dimensional handlebody $H_{g}$ , for any genus g. A complete classification of such involutions is given in terms of their fixed points.

Amenability and unique ergodicity of automorphism groups of Fraïssé structures

Andy Zucker (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

In this paper we consider those Fraïssé classes which admit companion classes in the sense of [KPT]. We find a necessary and sufficient condition for the automorphism group of the Fraïssé limit to be amenable and apply it to prove the non-amenability of the automorphism groups of the directed graph S(3) and the boron tree structure T. Also, we provide a negative answer to the Unique Ergodicity-Generic Point problem of Angel-Kechris-Lyons [AKL]. By considering $G L (V_{\infty})$ , where $V_{\infty}$ is the countably...

Equidistribution towards the Green current for holomorphic maps

Tien-Cuong Dinh, Nessim Sibony (2008)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

Let $f$ be a non-invertible holomorphic endomorphism of a projective space and $f^{n}$ its iterate of order $n$ . We prove that the pull-back by $f^{n}$ of a generic (in the Zariski sense) hypersurface, properly normalized, converges to the Green current associated to $f$ when $n$ tends to infinity. We also give an analogous result for the pull-back of positive closed $(1, 1)$ -currents and a similar result for regular polynomial automorphisms of $ℂ^{k}$ .

The 4-string braid group $B_{4}$ has property RD and exponential mesoscopic rank

Sylvain Barré, Mikaël Pichot (2011)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

We prove that the braid group $B_{4}$ on 4 strings, its central quotient $B_{4} / 〈 z 〉$ , and the automorphism group $Aut (F_{2})$ of the free group $F_{2}$ on 2 generators, have the property RD of Haagerup–Jolissaint. We also prove that the braid group $B_{4}$ is a group of intermediate mesoscopic rank (of dimension 3). More precisely, we show that the above three groups have exponential mesoscopic rank, i.e., that they contain exponentially many large flat balls which are not included in flats.

A note on another construction of graphs with $4 n + 6$ vertices and cyclic automorphism group of order $4 n$

Peteris Daugulis (2017)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

The problem of finding minimal vertex number of graphs with a given automorphism group is addressed in this article for the case of cyclic groups. This problem was considered earlier by other authors. We give a construction of an undirected graph having $4 n + 6$ vertices and automorphism group cyclic of order $4 n$ , $n \geq 1$ . As a special case we get graphs with $2^{k} + 6$ vertices and cyclic automorphism groups of order $2^{k}$ . It can revive interest in related problems.

Effective decomposition of σ-continuous Borel functions

Gabriel Debs (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We prove that if a Δ¹₁ function f with Σ¹₁ domain X is σ-continuous then one can find a Δ¹₁ covering ${(A ₙ)}_{n \in ω}$ of X such that $f_{| A ₙ}$ is continuous for all n. This is an effective version of a recent result by Pawlikowski and Sabok, generalizing an earlier result of Solecki.
