On Finite Groups with Few Automorphism Orbits

Denote by ω(G) the number of orbits of the action of Aut(G) on the finite group G. We prove that if G is a finite nonsolvable group in which ω(G) ≤5, then G is isomorphic to one of the groups A₅, A₆, PSL(2, 7), or PSL(2, 8). We also consider the case when ω(G) = 6 and show that, if G is a nonsolvable finite group with ω(G) = 6, then either G ≈ PSL(3, 4) or there exists a characteristic elementary abelian 2-subgroup N of G such that G/N ≈ A₅.

On the Characterizability of the Automorphism Groups of Sporadic Simple Groups by Their Element Orders

For G a finite group, π _e (G) denotes the set of orders of elements in G. If Ω is a subset of the set of natural numbers, h(Ω) stands for the number of isomorphism classes of finite groups with the same set Ω of element orders. We say that G is k-distinguishable if h(π _e (G)) = k < ∞, otherwise G is called non-distinguishable. Usually, a 1-distinguishable group is called a characterizable group. It is shown that if M is a sporadic simple group different from M ₁₂, M ₂₂, J ₂, He, Suz, M ^c L and O′N, then Aut(M) is characterizable by its element orders. It is also proved that if M is isomorphic to M ₁₂, M ₂₂, He, Suz or O′N, then h(π _e (Aut(M))) ∈¸ {1,∞}.

Automorphism Groups of Finite Abelian p-groups and Transvections

We define a particular type of automorphisms called transvections on a finite finite abelian p-group H_p. It is proved that the subgroup E of the automorphism group Aut(H_p) of H_p generated by those transvections is normal in it, and that Aut(H_p) can be written as the product of E and some abelian subgroup K. The center of Aut(H_p) is also determined.     

On Finite n-Acentralizer Groups

Let G be a group and Aut(G) be the group of automorphisms of G. Then the Acentralizer of an automorphism α ∈Aut(G) in G is defined as C _G (α) = {g ∈ G∣α(g) = g}. For a finite group G, let Acent(G) = {C _G (α)∣α ∈Aut(G)}. Then for any natural number n, we say that G is n-Acentralizer group if |Acent(G)| =n. We show that for any natural number n, there exists a finite n-Acentralizer group and determine the structure of finite n-Acentralizer groups for n ≤ 5.     

Automorphism Groups of Schur Rings

In 1993, Muzychuk [23 Muzychuk , Mikhail E. ( 1993 ). The structure of rational Schur rings over cyclic groups . European Journal of Combinatorics 14 : 479 – 490 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] showed that the rational Schur rings over a cyclic group Z _n are in one-to-one correspondence with sublattices of the divisor lattice of n, or equivalently, with sublattices of the lattice of subgroups of Z _n . This can easily be extended to show that for any finite group G, sublattices of the lattice of characteristic subgroups of G give rise to rational Schur rings over G in a natural way. Our main result is that any finite group may be represented as the (algebraic) automorphism group of such a rational Schur ring over an abelian p-group, for any odd prime p. In contrast, over a cyclic group the automorphism group of any Schur ring is abelian. We also prove a converse to the well-known result of Muzychuk [24 Muzychuk , Mikhail E. ( 1994 ). On the structure of basic sets of Schur rings over cyclic groups . Journal of Algebra 169 : 655 – 678 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] that two Schur rings over a cyclic group are isomorphic if and only if they coincide; namely, we show that over a group which is not cyclic, there always exist distinct isomorphic Schur rings.     

On Orbits of Automorphism Groups

If G is a finite group and if A is a group of automorphisms of G whose fixed point subgroup is C _G (A) then every subgroup F of C _G (A) acts on the set of orbits of A in G. The peculiarities of this action are used here to derive several results on the number of orbits of A in an economical manner.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 Deaconescu M. and Walls G.

Automorphism Groups of Restricted Cartan-Type Lie Superalgebras

Let X denote the restricted Lie superalgebras of Cartan type W, S, H, or K over a field of characteristic p > 3, and 𝔄 the corresponding underlying superalgebra of X. Employing the invariance of the filtration of X we construct an isomorphism of Aut X to Aut(𝔄:X), the admissible automorphism group of the associative super-commutative superalgebra 𝔄. Moreover, it is proved that the group isomorphism above maps the standard normal series of Aut X to the one of Aut(𝔄:X), and also maps the homogeneous automorphism group of X to the admissible homogeneous automorphism group of 𝔄.

Recognizing the Automorphism Groups of Mathieu Groups

It is a well-known fact that characters of a finite group can give important information about the structure of the group. It was also proved by the third author that a finite simple group can be uniquely determined by its character table. Here the authors attempt to investigate how to characterize a finite almost-simple group by using less information of its character table, and successfully characterize the automorphism groups of Mathieu groups by their orders and at most two irreducible character degrees of their character tables.     

Finite Groups with a Pre-Fixed-Point-Free Power Automorphism

A power automorphism θ of a group G is said to be pre-fixed-point-free if C_G(θ) is an elementary abelian 2-group. G is called an E-group if G has a pre-fixed-point-free power automorphism. In this paper, finite E-groups, together with all their pre-fixed-point-free power automorphisms, are completely determined. Moreover, a characteristic of finite abelian groups is given, which explains some known facts concerning power automorphisms.

On the Validity of Thompson's Conjecture for Finite Simple Groups

In this article, we prove a conjecture of J. G. Thompson for the finite simple group ² D _n (q). More precisely, we show that every finite group G with the property Z(G) = 1 and N(G) = N(² D _n (q)) is necessarily isomorphic to ² D _n (q). Note that N(G) is the set of lengths of conjugacy classes of G.
