Polycyclic groups admitting a regular automorphism of order four

Let G be a polycyclic group and α a regular automorphism of order four of G. If the map φ: G→ G defined by g~φ= [g, α] is surjective, then the second derived group of G is contained in the centre of G. Abandoning the condition on surjectivity, we prove that C_G(α~2) and G/[G, α~2] are both abelian-by-finite.

Classifying cubic symmetric graphs of order 10p or 10p2

A graph is called s-regular if its automorphism group acts regularly on the set of its s-arcs. In this paper, the s-regular cyclic or elementary abelian coverings of the Petersen graph for each s ⩾ 1 are classified when the fibre-preserving automorphism groups act arc-transitively. As an application of these results, all s-regular cubic graphs of order 10p or 10p ² are also classified for each s ⩾ 1 and each prime p, of which the proof depends on the classification of finite simple groups.

The automorphism group of the Toeplitz algebra onH2(T2)

The automorphism group of the C^* -algebra generated by the Toeplitz operatos with symbols being continuous functions on the bicircle is characterized completely. The investigation is based on the analysis of the behaviour of an automorphism of the Toeplitz algebra on itsC* -ideal chains, and the state of the closed ideals in .     

A note on cyclic codes over GR(p2, m) of length pk

The number of self-dual cyclic codes of length p ^k over GR(p ², m) is determined by the nullity of a certain matrix M(p ^k , i ₁). With the aid of Genocchi numbers, we determine the nullity of M(p ^k , i ₁) and hence determine completely the number of such codes.     

Characterizability of the Group ^2Dp（3） by its Order Components,Where p ≥ 5 is a Prime Number Not of the Form 2^m ＋ 1

The author will prove that the group ^2Dp（3） can be uniquely determined by its order components, where p ≠ 2^m ＋ 1 is a prime number, p ≥ 5. More precisely, if OC（G） denotes the set of order components of G, we will prove OC（G） = OC（^2Dp（3）） if and only if G is isomorphic to ^2Dp（3）. A main consequence of our result is the validity of Thompson＇s conjecture for the groups under consideration.

有限秩的幂零群的自同构(Ⅱ)

设幂零群G=KP=PK,其中P是有限秩的幂零p-群,K是G的有限秩的p-自由的正规子群,p不属于K的谱Sp(K).设1=ζ0Gζ1G···ζcG=G是G的上中心列,α和β是G的两个p-自同构,把α,β在每个ζiG/ζi-1G上的诱导自同构分别记为αi和βi,又记Ii:=Im(αiβi-βiαi),则(i)如果每个Ii都是有限循环群,并且I:=(αβ(g))(βα(g))-1|g∈G是G的有限子群,那么α和β生成一个有限p-群;(ii)如果Ii或为有限循环群,或为拟循环p-群,或为Zpn⊕Zp∞对某自然数n,那么α和β生成一个可解的剩余有限p-群,它是有限生成的无挠幂零群被有限p-群的扩张;(iii)如果Ii或为有限循环群,或为拟循环p-群,或为Zpn⊕Zp∞,或为无挠的局部幂零群,或Ii有正规列1JiIi,其商因子分别为有限循环群、无挠的局部幂零群,或Ii=Zp∞⊕Ji,Ji为无挠的局部幂零群,或Ii有正规列1KiJiIi,其商因子分别为有限循环群、拟循环p-群、无挠的局部循环群,那么α和β生成一个可解的剩余有限p-群,它的幂零长度至多是3.特别地,当K是一个FC-群时,在情形(iii),α和β生成的群也是有限生成的无挠幂零群被有限p-群的扩张.此外,如果G=KP里,K是一个FC-群,对G的下中心列考虑了类似的问题,得到了"对偶"的结果.     

On the group of conjugating automorphisms of a free group

The group of conjugating automorphisms of a free group and certain subgroups of this group, namely, the group of McCool basis-conjugating automorphisms and the Artin braid group are considered. The Birman theorem on the representation of a braid group by matrices is sharpened. Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 60, No. 1, pp. 92–108, July, 1996.     

Regular representations of finite groups as automorphism groups of k‐tournaments

It was shown by Babai and Imrich [2] that every finite group of odd order except and admits a regular representation as the automorphism group of a tournament. Here, we show that for k ≥ 3, every finite group whose order is relatively prime to and strictly larger than k admits a regular representation as the automorphism group of a k‐tournament. Our constructions are elementary, suggesting that the problem is significantly simpler for k‐tournaments than for binary tournaments. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Generic automorphisms of the universal partial order

We show that the countable universal-homogeneous partial order has a generic automorphism as defined by the second author, namely that it lies in a comeagre conjugacy class of Aut. For this purpose, we work with `determined' partial finite automorphisms that need not be automorphisms of finite substructures (as in the proofs of similar results for other countable homogeneous structures) but are nevertheless sufficient to characterize the isomorphism type of the union of their orbits.

     

M-P invertible matrices and unitary groups over Fq2

The Moor-Penrose generalized inverses (M-P inverses for short) of matrices over a finite field F_q ² which is a generalization of the Moor-Penrose generalized inverses over the complex field, are studied in the present paper. Some necessary and sufficient conditions for anm xn matrixA over F_q ² having an M-P inverse are obtained, which make clear the set ofm xn matrices over F_q ² having M-P inverses and reduce the problem of constructing and enumerating the M-P invertible matrices to that of constructing and enumerating the non-isotropic subspaces with respect to the unitary group. Based on this reduction, both the construction problem and the enumeration problem are solved by borrowing the results in geometry of unitary groups over finite fields.     

Sporadic groups and automorphisms of linear spaces

This article is a contribution to the study of the automorphism groups of finite linear spaces. In particular we look at almost simple groups and prove the following theorem: Let G be an almost simple group and let 𝒮 be a finite linear space on which G acts as a line‐transitive automorphism group. Then the socle of G is not a sporadic group. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Combin Designs 8: 353–362, 2000     

K0 of Purely Infinite Simple Regular Rings

We extend the notion of a purely infinite simple C ^*-algebra to the context of unital rings, and we study its basic properties, specially those related to K-theory. For instance, if R is a purely infinite simple ring, then K ₀(R)⁺ = K ₀(R), the monoid of isomorphism classes of finitely generated projective R-modules is isomorphic to the monoid obtained from K ₀(R) by adjoining a new zero element, and K ₁(R) is the Abelianization of the group of units of R. We develop techniques of construction, obtaining new examples in this class in the case of von Neumann regular rings, and we compute the Grothendieck groups of these examples. In particular, we prove that every countable Abelian group is isomorphic to K ₀ of some purely infinite simple regular ring. Finally, some known examples are analyzed within this framework.
