In ‘Automorphisms of Dowling lattices and related geometries’, J. Bonin constructed the automorphism group A of a Dowling lattice as the image of a certain semidirect product, A = θ(K [rtimes ] H). In this work we find necessary and sufficient conditions for this quotient to be the semidirect product A = θ(K) [rtimes ] θ(H). In addition, we include a construction of A that lends itself to computation more readily than that found in Bonin's work.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite [Formula: see text]-group and let Aut([Formula: see text]) denote the full automorphism group of [Formula: see text]. In the recent past, there has been interest in finding necessary and sufficient conditions on [Formula: see text] such that certain subgroups of Aut([Formula: see text]) are equal. We prove a technical lemma and, as a consequence, obtain some new results and short and alternate proofs of some known results of this type.

AbstractLet $$\varGamma $$ Γ be the graph on the roots of the $$E_8$$ E 8 root system, where any two distinct vertices e and f are connected by an edge with color equal to the inner product of e and f. For any set c of colors, let $$\varGamma _c$$ Γ c be the subgraph of $$\varGamma $$ Γ consisting of all the 240 vertices, and all the edges whose color lies in c. We consider cliques, i.e., complete subgraphs, of $$\varGamma $$ Γ that are either monochromatic, or of size at most 3, or a maximal clique in $$\varGamma _c$$ Γ c for some color set c, or whose vertices are the vertices of a face of the $$E_8$$ E 8 root polytope. We prove that, apart from two exceptions, two such cliques are conjugate under the automorphism group of $$\varGamma $$ Γ if and only if they are isomorphic as colored graphs. Moreover, for an isomorphism f from one such clique K to another, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for f to extend to an automorphism of $$\varGamma $$ Γ , in terms of the restrictions of f to certain special subgraphs of K of size at most 7.

In Theorems 1 and 2 of [] necessary and sufficient conditions were given for a group G to have a finite automorphism group Aut G and a semisimple subgroup of central automorphisms AutcG. Recently it occurred to us, as a result of conversations with Ursula Webb, that these conditions could be stated in a much simpler and clearer form. Our purpose here is to record this reformulation. For an explanation ofterminology and notation we refer the reader to [1].

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.

AbstractA classical result of I. Glicksberg and K. de Leeuw asserts that the almost periodic compactification of a direct product S × T of abelian semigroups with identity is (canonically isomorphic to) the direct product of the almost periodic compactiflcations of S and T. Some efforts have been made to generalize this result and recently H. D. Junghenn and B. T. Lerner have proved a theorem giving necessary and sufficient conditions for an F-compactification of a semidirect product S⊗σT to be a semidirect product of compactiflcations of S and T. A different such theorem is presented here along with a number of corollaries and examples which illustrate its scope and limitations. Some behaviour that can occur for semidirect products, but not for direct products, is exposed

Let G, H and K be finite groups such that K acts on both G and H. The action of K on G and H induces an action of K on their tensor product G ⊗ H, and we shall denote the K-stable subgroup of G ⊗ H by (G ⊗ H)K. In section 1 of this note we shall obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for (G ⊗ H)K = G ⊗ H. The importance of this result is that the direct product of G and H has Schur multiplier M(G × H) isomorphic to M(G) × M(H) × (G ⊗ H); moreover K: acts on M(G × H), and M(G × H)K is one of the terms contained in a fundamental exact sequence concerning the Schur multiplier of the semidirect product of K and G × H (see [3, (2.2.10) and (2.2.5)] for details). Indeed in section 2 we shall assume that G is abelian and use the fact that M(G) ≅ G ∧ G to find necessary and sufficient conditions for M(G)K = M(G).

In this paper we introduce and study n-point Virasoro algebras, [Formula: see text], which are natural generalizations of the classical Virasoro algebra and have as quotients multipoint genus zero Krichever–Novikov type algebras. We determine necessary and sufficient conditions for the latter two such Lie algebras to be isomorphic. Moreover we determine their automorphisms, their derivation algebras, their universal central extensions, and some other properties. The list of automorphism groups that occur is Cn, Dn, A4, S4 and A5. We also construct a large class of modules which we call modules of densities, and determine necessary and sufficient conditions for them to be irreducible.

AbstractLet A be a finitely generated abelian group. We describe the automorphism group Aut(A) using the rank of A and its torsion part p-part A p.For a finite abelian p-group A of type (k 1, ..., k n), simple necessary and sufficient conditions for an n × n-matrix over integers to be associated with an automorphism of A are presented. Then, the automorphism group Aut(A) for a finite p-group A of type (k 1, k 2) is analyzed.

We give some necessary and sufficient conditions for the equivalency of the following two properties for a Moufang loop Q: Q over the nucleus Q/N is an abelian group and Q over the center is a group. We study those properties of Moufang loops which guarantee that L(y, x) is in the automorphism group of the loop. These imply numerous statements, among them there are well-known old results.

The purpose of this paper is to classify and enumerate self-dual codes of length 6 over finite field Z p . First, we classify these codes into three cases: decomposable, indecomposable non-MDS and MDS codes. Then, we complete the classification of non-MDS self-dual codes of length 6 over Z p for all primes p in terms of their automorphism group. We obtain all inequivalent classes and find the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of each class. Finally, we obtain the number of MDS self-dual codes of length 6.
