Let Out(Fn) denote the outer automorphism group of the free group Fn with n>3. We prove that for any finite index subgroup Γ<Out(Fn), the group Aut(Γ) is isomorphic to the normalizer of Γ in Out(Fn). We prove that Γ is co-Hopfian: every injective homomorphism Γ→Γ is surjective. Finally, we prove that the abstract commensurator Comm(Out(Fn)) is isomorphic to Out(Fn).
Let be the algebraic closure of and be the local field of formal power series with coefficients in . The aim of this paper is the description of the set of conjugacy classes of series of order for the composition law. This work is concerned with the formal power series with coefficients in a field of characteristic which are invertible and of finite order for the composition law. In order to investigate Oort’s conjecture, I give a description of conjugacy classes of series by means...
If X is a property or a class of groups, an automorphism ϕ of a group G is X-finitary if there is a normal subgroup N of G centralized by ϕ such that G/N is an X-group. Groups of such automorphisms for G a module over some ring have been very extensively studied over many years. However, for groups in general almost nothing seems to have been done. In 2009 V. V. Belyaev and D. A. Shved considered the general case for X the class of finite groups. Here we look further at the finite case but our main...
We introduce a notion of a Fox pairing in a group algebra and use Fox pairings to define automorphisms of the Malcev completions of groups. These automorphisms generalize to the algebraic setting the action of the Dehn twists in the group algebras of the fundamental groups of surfaces. This work is inspired by the Kawazumi–Kuno generalization of the Dehn twists to non-simple closed curves on surfaces.
