In this paper, we classify compact manifolds of dimension three equipped with a path structure and a fixed contact form (which we refer to as a strict path structure) under the hypothesis that their automorphism group is non-compact. We use a Cartan connection associated to the structure and show that its curvature is constant.

AbstractWe provide some necessary and some sufficient conditions for the automorphism group of a free product of (freely indecomposable, not infinite cyclic) groups to have Property (FA). The additional sufficient conditions are all met by finite groups, and so this case is fully characterised. Therefore, this paper generalises the work of N. Leder [Serre’s Property FA for automorphism groups of free products, preprint (2018), https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.06287v1]. for finite cyclic groups, as well as resolving the open case of that paper.

In this paper we study the automorphism groups of countable arithmetically saturated models of Peano Arithmetic. The automorphism groups of such structures form a rich class of permutation groups. When studying the automorphism group of a model, one is interested to what extent a model is recoverable from its automorphism group. Kossak-Schmerl [12] show that if M is a countable, arithmetically saturated model of Peano Arithmetic, then Aut(M) codes SSy(M). Using that result they prove:Let M1. M2 be countable arithmetically saturated models of Peano Arithmetic such that Aut(M1) ≅ Aut(M2). Then SSy(M1) = SSy(M2).We show that if M is a countable arithmetically saturated of Peano Arithmetic, then Aut(M) can recognize if some maximal open subgroup is a stabilizer of a nonstandard element, which is smaller than any nonstandard definable element. That fact is used to show the main theorem:Let M1, M2be countable arithmetically saturated models of Peano Arithmetic such that Aut(M1) ≅ Aut(M2). Then for every n < ωHere RT2n is Infinite Ramsey's Theorem stating that every 2-coloring of [ω]n has an infinite homogeneous set. Theorem 0.2 shows that for models of a false arithmetic the converse of Kossak-Schmerl Theorem 0.1 is not true. Using the results of Reverse Mathematics we obtain the following corollary:There exist four countable arithmetically saturated models of Peano Arithmetic such that they have the same standard system but their automorphism groups are pairwise non-isomorphic.

AbstractWe study and generalize a classical theoremof L. Bers that classifies domains up to biholomorphic equivalence in terms of the algebras of holomorphic functions on those domains. Then we develop applications of these results to the study of domains with noncompact automorphism group

AbstractWe study automorphism groups of randomizations of separable structures, with focus on the ℵ0-categorical case. We give a description of the automorphism group of the Borel randomization in terms of the group of the original structure. In the ℵ0-categorical context, this provides a new source of Roelcke precompact Polish groups, and we describe the associated Roelcke compactifications. This allows us also to recover and generalize preservation results of stable and NIP formulas previously established in the literature, via a Banach-theoretic translation. Finally, we study and classify the separable models of the theory of beautiful pairs of randomizations, showing in particular that this theory is never ℵ0-categorical (except in basic cases).

We discuss the set of subgroups of the automorphism group of a full shift and submonoids of its endomorphism monoid. We prove closure under direct products in the monoid case and free products in the group case. We also show that the automorphism group of a full shift embeds in that of an uncountable sofic shift. Some undecidability results are obtained as corollaries.

Let G be a nite group. The power graph P(G) of a group G is the graphwhose vertex set is the group elements and two elements are adjacent if one is a power of the other. The commuting graph \Delta(G) of a group G, is the graph whose vertices are the group elements, two of them joined if they commute. When the vertex set is G-Z(G), this graph is denoted by \Gamma(G). Since the results based on the automorphism group of these kinds of graphs are so sporadic, in this paper, we give a survey of all results on the automorphism group of power graphs and commuting graphs obtained in the literature.

Given a poset (X, ≦), the covering poset (C(X), ≦) consists of the set C(X) of covering pairs, that is, pairs (a, b)∈X2 with a<b such that there is no c∈X with a<c<b, partially ordered by (a, b)≦(a′, b′) if and only if (a, b) = (a′, b′) or b≦a′. There is a natural homomorphism v from the automorphism group of (X, ≦) into the automorphism group of (C(X), ≦). It is shown that given groups G, H and a homomorphism α from G into H there exists a poset (X, ≦) and isomorphisms φψ from G onto Aut(X, ≦), respectively from H onto Aut(C(X), ≦) such that φv = αψ. It is also shown that every group is isomorphic to the automorphism group of a poset all of whose maximal chains are isomorphic to the nationals.

AbstractIn this paper, we prove that for any positive integers {n,s,t} such that {n\geq 10}, {s,t\geq 2} and {n-1\geq s+t}, there exists a regular polytope with Schläfli type {\{2^{s},2^{t}\}} and its automorphism group is of order {2^{n}}. Furthermore, we classify regular polytopes with automorphism groups of order {2^{n}} and Schläfli types {\{4,2^{n-3}\},\{4,2^{n-4}\}} and {\{4,2^{n-5}\}}, therefore giving a partial answer to a problem proposed by Schulte and Weiss in [Problems on polytopes, their groups, and realizations, Period. Math. Hungar. 53 2006, 1–2, 231–255].

In this paper, we show that for any finite field [Formula: see text], any pair of map-generators (that is when one of the generators is an involution) of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] has a group automorphism that inverts both generators. In the theory of maps, this corresponds to say that any regular oriented map with automorphism group [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] is reflexible, or equivalently, there are no chiral regular maps with automorphism group [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text]. As remarked by Leemans and Liebeck, also [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are not automorphism groups of chiral regular maps. These two results complete the work of the above authors on simples groups supporting chiral regular maps.
