Abstract In 1895 Wiman introduced the Riemann surface 𝒲 of genus 6 over the complex field ℂ defined by the equation X 6+Y 6+ℨ 6+(X 2+Y 2+ℨ 2)(X 4+Y 4+ℨ 4)−12X 2 Y 2 ℨ 2 = 0, and showed that its full automorphism group is isomorphic to the symmetric group S 5. We show that this holds also over every algebraically closed field 𝕂 of characteristic p ≥ 7. For p = 2, 3 the above polynomial is reducible over 𝕂, and for p = 5 the curve 𝒲 is rational and Aut(𝒲) ≅ PGL(2,𝕂). We also show that Wiman’s 𝔽192 -maximal sextic 𝒲 is not Galois covered by the Hermitian curve H19 over the finite field 𝔽192 .

This paper examines the relationship between the automorphism group of a hyperelliptic curve defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic two and the 2-rank of the curve. In particular, we exploit the wild ramification to use the Deuring–Shafarevich formula in order to analyze the ramification of hyperelliptic curves that admit extra automorphisms and use this data to impose restrictions on the genera and 2-ranks of such curves. We also show how some of the techniques and results carry over to the case where our base field is of characteristic p > 2.

Abstract We study the automorphisms of a function field of genus g ≥ 2 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 0. More precisely, we show that the order of a nilpotent subgroup G of its automorphism group is bounded by 16 (g – 1) when G is not a p-group. We show that if |G| = 16(g – 1), then g – 1 is a power of 2. Furthermore, we provide an infinite family of function fields attaining the bound.

Throughout this paper F is an algebraically closed field of characteristic p (≠ 0) and g is a finite group whose order is divisible by p. We define in the usual way an F-representation of g (or F G-representation) and its corresponding module. The isomorphism class of the, F G-representation module M is written {M} or, where no confusion arises, M. A (G) denotes the F-representation algebra of G over the complex field G (as defined on pages 73 and 82 of [6]).

AbstractThe conjugacy of Cartan subalgebras of a Lie algebra L over an algebraically closed field under the connected automorphism group G of L is inherited by those G-stable ideals B for which B/Ci is restrictable for some hypercenter Ci of B. Concequently, if L is a restrictable Lie algebra such that L/Ci restrictable for some hypercenter Ci of L, and if the Lie algebra of Aut L contains ad L, then the Cartan subalgebras of L are conjugate under G. (The techniques here apply in particular to Lie algebras of characteristic 0 and classical Lie algebras, showing how the conjugacy of Cartan subgroups of algebraic groups leads quickly in these cases to the conjugacy of Cartan subalgebras.)

For G a classical group of type Bn, Cn or Dn defined over an algebraically closed field (of characteristic other than two if G is a special orthogonal group), we show that the centralizer algebra of G on the space of endomorphisms of the module of traceless tensors Wr is naturally isomorphic to the group algebra of the symmetric group Sr if r[les ]n (for G of type Bn or Cn) or if r<n (for G of type Dn). This extends a characteristic zero result of Brauer and Weyl and recovers some of the related characteristic free results that De Concini and Strickland obtained for G of type Cn.

AbstractIn this note we show that any basic abelian variety with additional structures over an arbitrary algebraically closed field of characteristic ${p>0}$ is isogenous to another one defined over a finite field. We also show that the category of abelian varieties over finite fields up to isogeny can be embedded into the category of basic abelian varieties with suitable endomorphism structures. Using this connection, we derive a new mass formula for a finite orbit of polarized abelian surfaces over a finite field.

It is well known that the complex number field has infinitely many automorphisms. Moreover, it seems to be part of the folklore that the family of all automorphisms of the complex field has cardinality 2c, where c = 2ℵo. In this article the following generalization of this fact is proved: If k is any algebraically closed field then the family of all automorphisms of k has cardinality 2card k.The complex field has infinite transcendency degree over its prime subfield. For fields of this type the proof is accomplished by essentially permuting the elements in a transcendency basis and extending each permutation to an automorphism of the field.

Let Sndenote the symmetric group of degree n with n ≥ 3, S = { cn= (1 2 ⋯ n), [Formula: see text], (1 2)} and Γn= Cay(Sn, S) be the Cayley graph on Snwith respect to S. In this paper, we show that Γn(n ≥ 13) is a normal Cayley graph, and that the full automorphism group of Γnis equal to Aut(Γn) = R(Sn) ⋊ 〈Inn(ϕ) ≅ Sn× ℤ2, where R(Sn) is the right regular representation of Sn, ϕ = (1 2)(3 n)(4 n−1)(5 n−2) ⋯ (∊ Sn), and Inn(ϕ) is the inner isomorphism of Sninduced by ϕ.

AbstractAn algebraic group of type E7 over an algebraically closed field has an irreducible representation in a vector space of dimension 56 and is, in fact, the identity component of the automorphism group of a quartic form on the space. This paper describes the construction of the quartic form if the characteristic is ≠ 2, 3, taking into account a field of definition F. Certain F-forms of E7 appear in the automorphism groups of quartic forms over F, as well as forms of E6. Many of the results of the paper are known, but are perhaps not easily accessible in the literature.
