AbstractWe give an explicit construction of a continuous trace C*algebra with prescribed Dixmier-Douady class, and with only finite-dimensional irreducible representations. These algebras often have non-trivial automorphisms, and we show how a recent description of the outer automorphism group of a stable continuous trace C*algebra follows easily from our main result. Since our motivation came from work on a new notion of central separable algebras, we explore the connections between this purely algebraic subject and C*a1gebras.

In [Li and Chen, A new characterization of the simple group [Formula: see text], Sib. Math. J. 53(2) (2012) 213–247.], it is proved that the simple group [Formula: see text] is uniquely determined by the set of orders of its maximal abelian subgroups. Also in [Momen and Khosravi, Groups with the same orders of maximal abelian subgroups as [Formula: see text], Monatsh. Math. 174 (2013) 285–303], the authors proved that if [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is not a Mersenne prime, then every finite group with the same orders of maximal abelian subgroups as [Formula: see text], is isomorphic to [Formula: see text] or an extension of [Formula: see text] by a subgroup of the outer automorphism group of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we prove that if [Formula: see text] is a finite group with the same orders of maximal abelian subgroups as [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] has a unique nonabelian composition factor which is isomorphic to [Formula: see text].

Finite Quotients

Let G and F be groups. A G-defining subgroup of F is a normal subgroup N of F such that F/N is isomorphic to G. The automorphism group Aut (F) acts on the set of G-defining subgroups of F. If G is finite and F is finitely generated, one obtains a finite permutation representation of Out (F), the outer automorphism group of F. We study these representations in the case that F is a free group.

Let Fn be a free group of rank n and let Out Fn be its outer automorphism group. The main result of this paper is that Out F3 has a faithful representation as a group of automorphisms of the polynomial ring in seven variables over the integers. This extends a similar result for n = 2 (see Helling [3], Horowitz [5] and Rosenberger [12]), and provides a partial answer to a conjecture attributed in [5] to W. Magnus. As an application of the special nature of the representing polynomials, we obtain our second result, that Out F3 is virtually residually torsion-free nilpotent.
