A generalization of half-plane mappings to the ball in

Let be a normalized (, ) biholomorphic mapping of the unit ball onto a convex domain that is the union of lines parallel to some unit vector . We consider the situation in which there is one infinite singularity of on . In one case with a simple change-of-variables, we classify all convex mappings of that are half-plane mappings in the first coordinate. In the more complicated case, when is not in the span of the infinite singularity, we derive a form of the mappings in dimension .

     

On mixed Abelian groups with periodic groups of automorphisms

In the paper, sufficient conditions for the splittability of mixed Abelian groups with periodic automorphism groups are established. Classes of mixed splittable Abelian groups with perfect holomorphs are distinguished. Translated fromMaternaticheskie Zametki, Vol. 61, No. 4, pp. 483–493, April, 1997. Translated by A. I.

Semi‐transitive graphs

In this paper, we first consider graphs allowing symmetry groups which act transitively on edges but not on darts (directed edges). We see that there are two ways in which this can happen and we introduce the terms bi‐transitive and semi‐transitive to describe them. We examine the elementary implications of each condition and consider families of examples; primary among these are the semi‐transitive spider‐graphs PS(k,N;r) and MPS(k,N;r). We show how a product operation can be used to produce larger graphs of each type from smaller ones. We introduce the alternet of a directed graph. This links the two conditions, for each alternet of a semi‐transitive graph (if it has more than one) is a bi‐transitive graph. We show how the alternets can be used to understand the structure of a semi‐transitive graph, and that the action of the group on the set of alternets can be an interesting structure in its own right. We use alternets to define the attachment number of the graph, and the important special cases of tightly attached and loosely attached graphs. In the case of tightly attached graphs, we show an addressing scheme to describe the graph with coordinates. Finally, we use the addressing scheme to complete the classification of tightly attached semi‐transitive graphs of degree 4 begun by Marus?ic? and Praeger. This classification shows that nearly all such graphs are spider‐graphs. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 45: 1–27, 2004     

The Inverse Function Theorem for Free Associative Algebras

We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a given collection of elements to freely generate a free associative algebra. We present some necessary conditions for primitivity of an element of a free associative algebra of rank 2.     

Isomorphism classes and automorphism groups of algebras of Weyl type

In one of our recent papers, the associative and the Lie algebras of Weyl typeA[D]=A⊗F[D] were defined and studied, whereA is a commutative associative algebra with an identity element over a field F of any characteristic, and F[D] is the polynomial algebra of a commutative derivation subalgebraD ofA. In the present paper, a class of the above associative and Lie algebrasA[D] with F being a field of characteristic 0,D consisting of locally finite but not locally nilpotent derivations ofA, are studied. The isomorphism classes and automorphism groups of these associative and Lie algebras are determined     

On a Problem of P. Hall about Groups Isomorphic to all their Non-Trivial Normal Subgroups

A scheme of construction of infinite groups, other than simplegroups, free groups of infinite rank and the infinite cyclicgroup, which are isomorphic to all their non-trivial normalsubgroups is presented. Some results about the automorphismgroups of simple infinite groups are also obtained. In particular,it is proved that there is an infinite group G of any sufficientlylarge prime exponent p (or which is torsion-free) all of whoseproper subgroups are cyclic, and such that the groups Aut Gand Out G are isomorphic. The proofs use the technique of gradeddiagrams developed by A. Yu. Ol'shanskii. 1991 Mathematics SubjectClassification: 20F05, 20F06.     

Constructing Covering Codes with Given Automorphisms

Let K(n,r) denote the minimum cardinality of a binary covering code of length n and covering radius r. Constructions of covering codes give upper bounds on K(n,r). It is here shown how computer searches for covering codes can be sped up by requiring that the code has a given (not necessarily full) automorphism group. Tabu search is used to find orbits of words that lead to a covering. In particular, a code D found which proves K(13,1) 704, a new record. A direct construction of D given, and its full automorphism group is shown to be the general linear group GL(3,3). It is proved that D is a perfect dominating set (each word not in D is covered by exactly one word in D) and is a counterexample to the recent Uniformity Conjecture of Weichsel.     

Pseudo-n-Transitivity of the Automorphism Group of a Geometric Structure

We introduce a notion of pseudo-n- transitivity which is a nontransitive counterpart of the n-transitivity. The main result states that any group of diffeomorphisms which satisfies the locality condition is pseudo-n-transitive for each n 1.     

On Isaacs' three character degrees theorem

Isaacs has proved that a finite group is solvable whenever there are at most three characters of pairwise distinct degrees in (Isaacs' three character degrees theorem). In this note, using Isaacs' result and the classification of the finite simple groups, we prove the solvability of whenever contains at most three monolithic characters of pairwise distinct degrees. §2 contains some additional results about monolithic characters.

     

Phase-fixed double-group 3-Γ symbols. VI. Real 3-Γ symbols and coupling coefficients for the group hierarchy I *⊃ C 5 *

It is demonstrated that for the group-subgroup hierarchy I ^* C ₅ ^* , one may choose standard irreducible matrix representations and corresponding all-real sets of 3- symbols which obey a formalism just as elegant as the classical one for the 3-j symbols of the rotation double group. The 3- symbols are phase-fixed by the specification of basis functions (or, equivalently, subduction coefficients) generating them and based on functions first given by McLellan.Other icosahedral double-group hierarchies are also briefly discussed.
