Coleman Automorphisms of Extensions of Finite Characteristically Simple Groups by Some Finite Groups

Let G be an extension of a finite characteristically simple group by an abelian group or a finite simple group.It is shown that every Coleman automorphism of G is an inner automorphism.Interest in such automorphisms arises from the study of the normalizer problem for integral group rings.     

有限Abel群的一个特征

本文证明了有限群Ｇ是Ａｂｅｌ群当且仅当Ｇ_ｒ满足下列条件：（Ⅰ） Ｇ有一个幂自同构 ａ使得 ＣＧ（ａ）是一个初等 ＡｂｅｌＺ一群．（Ⅱ）Ｇ没有子群与２－群＜ａ,ｂ｜ａ~２~ｎ＝ｂ~２~ｍ＝１,ａ~ｂ＝ａ~（１＋２）~（ｎ－１）＞同构,其中ｎ≥３,ｎ≥ｍ．利用该结果,作者还证明若有限群Ｇ有一个幂自同构ａ使得Ｃ_Ｇ（ａ）是一个初等Ａｂｅｌ２－群,则Ｇ是幂零群     

有限ATI-群的类保持Coleman自同构

设G是一个有限群,对G的任意阿贝尔子群A及任意g∈G,若A∩A~g=1或A,则称G为一个ATI-群.本文证明了,对任意p∈τ(G),如果ATI-群G的一个p-方幂阶类保持自同构在G的任意Sylow子群上的限制等于G的某个内自同构的限制,则它必定是一个内自同构.作为该结果的一个直接推论,我们也证明了有限ATI-群G有正规化性质.     

具有阿贝尔Sylow 2-子群的有限群的整群环的正规化子性质

Mazur猜想:具有阿贝尔Sylow 2-子群的有限群有正规化子性质.设G是一个有限群,N是G的一个正规子群且Z(G/N)仅有平凡单位,本文建立了由Z(G/N)中单位诱导的G的自同构与N的Coleman自同构之间的联系,在此基础上证明了若G是一个具有阿贝尔Sylow 2-子群的有限群且Z(G/F*(G))仅有平凡单位,则Mazur猜想对G成立.     

On finite <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-groups whose automorphisms are all central

An automorphism α of a group G is said to be central if α commutes with every inner automorphism of G. We construct a family of non-special finite p-groups having abelian automorphism groups. These groups provide counterexamples to a conjecture of A. Mahalanobis [Israel J. Math. 165 (2008), 161–187]. We also construct a family of finite p-groups having non-abelian automorphism groups and all automorphisms central. This solves a problem of I. Malinowska [Advances in Group Theory, Aracne Editrice, Rome, 2002, pp. 111–127].     

Isomorphisms of finite semi-Cayley graphs

Let G be a finite group. A Cayley graph over G is a simple graph whose automorphism group has a regular subgroup isomorphic to G. A Cayley graph is called a CI-graph(Cayley isomorphism) if its isomorphic images are induced by automorphisms of G. A well-known result of Babai states that a Cayley graph Γ of G is a CI-graph if and only if all regular subgroups of Aut(Γ) isomorphic to G are conjugate in Aut(Γ). A semi-Cayley graph(also called bi-Cayley graph by some authors) over G is a simple graph whose automorphism group has a semiregular subgroup isomorphic to G with two orbits(of equal size). In this paper, we introduce the concept of SCI-graph(semi-Cayley isomorphism)and prove a Babai type theorem for semi-Cayley graphs. We prove that every semi-Cayley graph of a finite group G is an SCI-graph if and only if G is cyclic of order 3. Also, we study the isomorphism problem of a special class of semi-Cayley graphs.     

Automorphism group and dimension of ordered sets

It is shown that a finite groupG is isomorphic to the automorphism group of a two-dimensional ordered set if and only if it is a generalized wreath product of symmetric groups over an ordered index set that is a dual tree. Furthermore, every finite abelian group is isomorphic to the full automorphism group of a three-dimensional ordered set. Also every finite group is isomorphic to the automorphism group of an ordered set that does not contain an induced crown with more than four elements.     

On Generators of the Tame Automorphism Group of Free Metabelian Lie Algebras

We prove that the tame automorphism group TAut(M _n ) of a free metabelian Lie algebra M _n in n variables over a field k is generated by a single nonlinear automorphism modulo all linear automorphisms if n ≥ 4 except the case when n = 4 and char(k) ≠ 3. If char(k) = 3, then TAut(M ₄) is generated by two automorphisms modulo all linear automorphisms. We also prove that the tame automorphism group TAut(M ₃) cannot be generated by any finite number of automorphisms modulo all linear automorphisms.

Analogue of G. Higman's Theorem for Commutative Torsion-Free Rings

In this paper we consider finite rank torsion-free rings, which have almost regular automorphisms of prime order (a non-trivial automorphism is called almost regular if it has only trivial fixed points, i.e. zero and the elements of a ring linear dependent on its identity). The main result of this paper is the analogue of G. Higman's known Theorem [1] on almost regular automorphism for commutative finite rank torsion-free rings.     

Torsion-free abelian α-irreducible groups of finite rank

If F is a free abelian group of finite rank and α is an endomorphism or an automorphism of its divisible hull, then the α‐ hull is determined, i.e. the minimal torsion-free abelian group with this endomorphism a. Torsion-free abelian groups of finite rank are called α-irreducible if their divisible hull is α-irreducible for an automorphism a. A complete classification is given for α-irreducible groups and this result is applied to groups of rank 2.     

Determining whether a finite group of outer automorphisms of a free group is geometric

In this article we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a given finite group of outer automorphisms to be induced by the action of a group of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms on the fundamental group of a punctured surface. When the group is abelian, necessary and sufficient conditions can also be given in the absence of orientability assumptions. These properties are formulated in terms of the finite automorphism groups which project into the given outer automorphism group: each non-trivial automorphism in any such group can fix at most a cyclic subgroup of the fundamental group.     

Extension of isomorphisms in abelian p-groups

It is proved that every isomorphism between any two subgroups of a group G retaining the height of the elements in G is extended to an automorphism of the group itself in the class of abelian p-groups without elements of infinite height if and only if G is a closed group with finite Ulam invariants.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 14, No. 4, pp. 543–548, October, 1973.The author is grateful to I. Kh. Bekker for aid and supervision in performing this research.     

Power automorphisms of finitep-groups

For a finite groupG letA(G) denote the group of power automorphisms, i.e. automorphisms normalizing every subgroup ofG. IfG is ap-group of class at mostp, the structure ofA (G) is shown to be rather restricted, generalizing a result of Cooper ([2]). The existence of nontrivial power automorphisms, however, seems to impose restrictions on thep-groupG itself. It is proved that the nilpotence class of a metabelianp-group of exponentp ² possessing a nontrival power automorphism is bounded by a function ofp. The “nicer” the automorphism—the lower the bound for the class. Therefore a “type” for power automorphisms is introduced. Several examples ofp-groups having large power automorphism groups are given.     

Automorphisms and moduli spaces of varieties with ample canonical class via deformations of abelian covers

By a recent result of Viehweg, projective manifolds with ample canonical class have a coarse moduli space, which is a union of quasiprojective varieties.In this paper, we prove that there are manifolds with ample canonical class that lie on arbitrarily many irreducible components of the moduli; moreover, for any finite abelian group G there exist infinitely many components M of the moduli of varieties with ample canonical class such that the generic automorphism group G^Mis equal to G. In order to construct the examples, we use abelian covers. Let Y be a smooth complex projective variety of dimension ? 2. A Galois cover f :X ? Y whose Galois group is finite and abelian is called an abelian cover of Y; by [Pal], it is determined by its building data, i.e. by the branch divisors and by some line bundles on Y, satisfying appropriate compatibility conditions. Natural deformations of an abelian cover are also introduced in [Pal]. In this paper we prove two results about abelian covers:first, that if the building data are sufficiently ample, then the natural deformations surject on the Kuranishi family of X; second, that if the building data are sufficiently ample and generic, then Aut(X)= G.     

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.     

Fixed-point-free 2-finite automorphism groups

A fixed-point-free group G of automorphisms of an abelian group is shown to be locally finite if any two elements of G generate a finite subgroup.     

Weakly power automorphisms of groups

An automorphism α of a group G is called a weakly power automorphism if it maps every non-periodic subgroup of G onto itself. The aim of this paper is to investigate the behavior of weakly power automorphisms. In particular, among other results, it is proved that all weakly power automorphisms of a soluble non-periodic group G of derived length at most 3 are power automorphisms, i.e. they fix all subgroups of G. This result is best possible, as there exists a soluble non-periodic group of derived length 4 admitting a weakly power automorphism, which is not a power automorphism.
