The purpose of this paper is to give a proof to the result announced in [3]. Let X be an algebraic surface defined over C. X is called a K3 surface if its canonical line bundle Kx is trivial and dim H1(X, ϕX) = 0. It is known that the automorphism group Aut (X) of X is isomorphic, up to a finite group, to the factor group O(Sx)/Wx, where O(Sx) is the automorphism group of the Picard lattice of X (i.e. Sx is the Picard group of X together with the intersection form) and Wx is its subgroup generated by all reflections associated with elements with square (–2) of Sx ([11]). Recently Nikulin [8], [10] has completely classified the Picard lattices of algebraic K3 surfaces with finite automorphism groups.

A Finite Group

In this article, we study the automorphism group$\text{Aut}(X,{\it\sigma})$of subshifts$(X,{\it\sigma})$of low word complexity. In particular, we prove that$\text{Aut}(X,{\it\sigma})$is virtually$\mathbb{Z}$for aperiodic minimal subshifts and certain transitive subshifts with non-superlinear complexity. More precisely, the quotient of this group relative to the one generated by the shift map is a finite group. In addition, we show that any finite group can be obtained in this way. The class considered includes minimal subshifts induced by substitutions, linearly recurrent subshifts and even some subshifts which simultaneously exhibit non-superlinear and superpolynomial complexity along different subsequences. The main technique in this article relies on the study of classical relations among points used in topological dynamics, in particular, asymptotic pairs. Various examples that illustrate the technique developed in this article are provided. In particular, we prove that the group of automorphisms of a$d$-step nilsystem is nilpotent of order$d$and from there we produce minimal subshifts of arbitrarily large polynomial complexity whose automorphism groups are also virtually$\mathbb{Z}$.

A Finite Group

The inclusion graph of a finite group [Formula: see text], written as [Formula: see text], is defined to be an undirected graph that its vertices are all nontrivial subgroups of [Formula: see text], and in which two distinct subgroups [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] are adjacent if and only if either [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we determine the diameter of [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] is nilpotent, and characterize the independent dominating sets as well as the automorphism group of [Formula: see text].

A Finite Group

AbstractLet G be a finite group and let Aut(G) be its automorphism group. Then G is called a k-orbit group if G has k orbits (equivalence classes) under the action of Aut(G). (For g, hG, we have g ~ h if ga = h for some Aut(G).) It is shown that if G is a k-orbit group, then kGp + 1, where p is the least prime dividing the order of G. The 3-orbit groups which are not of prime-power order are classified. It is shown that A5 is the only insoluble 4-orbit group, and a structure theorem is proved about soluble 4-orbit groups.

Graph Form

The set of all adjacency-preserving automorphisms of the vertex set of a graph form a group which is called the (automorphism) group of the graph. In 1938 Frucht (2) showed that every finite group is isomorphic to the group of some graph. Since then Frucht, Izbicki, and Sabidussi have considered various other properties that a graph having a given group may possess. (For pertinent references and definitions not given here see Ore (4).) The object in this paper is to treat by similar methods a corresponding problem for a class of oriented graphs. It will be shown that a finite group is isomorphic to the group of some complete oriented graph if and only if it has an odd number of elements.

If A is a group acting on a set X and x ∈ X, we denote the stabilizer of x in A by CA(x) and let Γ(x) be the set of elements of X fixed by CA(x). We shall say the action of A is partitive if the distinct subsets Γ(x), x ∈ X, partition X. A special example of this phenomenon is the case of a semiregular action (when CA (x) = 1 for every x ∈ X so the induced partition is a trivial one). Our concern here is with the case that A is a group of automorphisms of a finite group G and X = G#, the set of non-identity elements of G. We shall prove that if A is nilpotent, then except in a very restricted situation, partitivity implies semiregularity.

AbstractLet R be a commutative ring with identity, and let A be a finitely generated R-algebra with Jacobson radical N and center C. An R-inertial subalgebra of A is a R-separable subalgebra B with the property that B+N=A. Suppose A is separable over C and possesses a finite group G of R-automorphisms whose restriction to C is faithful with fixed ring R. If R is an inertial subalgebra of C, necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an R-inertial subalgebra of A are found when the order of G is a unit in R. Under these conditions, an R-inertial subalgebra B of A is characterized as being the fixed subring of a group of R-automorphisms of A. Moreover, A ⋍ B ⊗R C. Analogous results are obtained when C has an R-inertial subalgebra S ⊃ R.

A Finite Group

In [3] we initiated our study of the automorphism groups of a certain class of near-rings. Specifically, let P be any complex polynomial and let P denote the near-ring of all continuous selfmaps of the complex plane where addition of functions is pointwise and the product fg of two functions f and g in P is defined by fg=f∘P∘g. The near-ring P is referred to as a laminated near-ring with laminating element P. In [3], we characterised those polynomials P(z)=anzn + an−1zn−1 +…+a0 for which Aut P is a finite group. We are able to show that Aut P is finite if and only if Deg P≧3 and ai ≠ 0 for some i ≠ 0, n. In addition, we were able to completely determine those infinite groups which occur as automorphism groups of the near-rings P. There are exactly three of them. One is GL(2) the full linear group of all real 2×2 nonsingular matrices and the other two are subgroups of GL(2). In this paper, we begin our study of the finite automorphism groups of the near-rings P. We get a result which, in contrast to the situation for the infinite automorphism groups, shows that infinitely many finite groups occur as automorphism groups of the near-rings under consideration. In addition to this and other results, we completely determine Aut P when the coefficients of P are real and Deg P = 3 or 4.

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].
