Let G be a group. A G-set is a nonempty set A together with a (right) action of G on A. The class of G-sets, viewed as unary algebras, is a variety. For a set X, let AG(X) be the free algebra on X in the variety of G-sets. We determine the group of automorphisms of End (AG(X)), the monoid of endomorphisms of AG(X).

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.

SynopsisLet G be a group and let A be a fixed point free group of automorphisms of G. It is shown that the centraliser near-ring MA(G) has at most one nontrivial ideal. Conditions on the pair (A, G) are given which force MA(G) to be simple. It is shown that if a nonsimple near-ring MA(G) exists, then A and G have unusual properties.

We prove that the automorphism group Aut (m,p,n) of an imprimitive complex reflection group G(m,p,n) is the product of a normal subgroup T(m,p,n) by a subgroup R(m,p,n), where R(m,p,n) is the group of automorphisms that preserve reflections and T(m,p,n) consists of automorphisms that map every element of G(m,p,n) to a scalar multiple of itself.

A group of automorphisms A of a group G defines the A-center CG(A) of G and the A-commutator subgroup [G, A] of G that naturally extend the ordinary center and the commutator subgroup of G. In this paper we study the relationship between the factor group G/CG(A) and the subgroup [G, A] when A has finite special rank and Inn (G) ≤ A.

A graph is said to be a bi-Cayley graph over a group $H$ if it admits $H$ as a group of automorphisms acting semiregularly on its vertices with two orbits. For a prime $p$, we call a bi-Cayley graph over a metacyclic $p$-group a bi-$p$-metacirculant. In this paper, the automorphism group of a connected cubic edge-transitive bi-$p$-metacirculant is characterized for an odd prime $p$, and the result reveals that a connected cubic edge-transitive bi-$p$-metacirculant exists only when $p=3$. Using this, a classification is given of connected cubic edge-transitive bi-Cayley graphs over an inner-abelian metacyclic $3$-group. As a result, we construct the first known infinite family of cubic semisymmetric graphs of order twice a $3$-power.

In this paper we consider complex doubles of compact Klein surfaces that have large automorphism groups. It is known that a bordered Klein surface of algebraic genus g > 2 has at most 12(g − 1) automorphisms. Surfaces for which this bound is sharp are said to have maximal symmetry. The complex double of such a surface X is a compact Riemann surface X+ of genus g and it is easy to see that if G is the group of automorphisms of X then C2 × G is a group of automorphisms of X+. A natural question is whether X+ can have a group that strictly contains C2 × G. In [8] C. L. May claimed the following interesting result: there is a unique Klein surface X with maximal symmetry for which Aut X+ properly contains C2 × Aut X (where Aut X+ denotes the group of conformal and anticonformal automorphisms of X+).

This note extends the concept of the inner automorphism, but here applies only to those finite groups G for which some member of the lower central series is Abelian. In general (e.g. when G is metabelian) the construction yields an endomorphism semigroup, but in the special case where Gis nilpotent (and may therefore, for our present purposes, be considered as a p-group) a group of automorphisms results.

A problem of special interest in the study of automorphism groups of surfaces are the bounds of the orders of the groups as a function of the genus of the surface.May has proved that a Klein surface with boundary of algebraic genus p has at most 12(p–1) automorphisms [9].In this paper we study the highest possible prime order for a group of automorphisms of a Klein surface. This problem was solved for Riemann surfaces by Moore in [10]. We shall use his results for studying the Klein surfaces that are not Riemann surfaces. The more general result that we obtain is the following: if X is a Klein surface of algebraic genus p, and G is a group of automorphisms of X, of prime order n, then n ≤ p + 1.

AbstractWe consider the question of when, given a subset A of M, the setwise stabilizer of the group of automorphisms induces a closed subgroup on Sym(A). We define s-homogeneity to be the analogue of homogeneity relative to strong embeddings and show that any subset of a countable, s-homogeneous, ω-stable structure induces a closed subgroup and contrast this with a number of negative results. We also show that for ω-stable structures s-homogeneity is preserved under naming countably many constants, but under slightly weaker conditions it can be lost by naming a single point.
