We consider the group action of the automorphism group Un = Aut(Zn) on the set Zn, that is the set of residue classes modulo n. Clearly, this group action provides a representation of Un as a permutation group acting on n points. One problem to be solved regarding this group action is to find its cycle index. Once it is found, there appears a vast class of related enumerative and computational problems with interesting applications. We provide the cycle index of specified group action in two ways. One of them is more abstract and hence compact, while another one is basically a procedure of composing the cycle index from some building blocks. However, those building blocks are also well explained and finally presented in a very detailed fashion.

Abstract We prove that the automorphism group of a compact 6-manifold M endowed with a symplectic half-flat {\mathrm{SU}(3)} -structure has Abelian Lie algebra with dimension bounded by {\min\{5,b_{1}(M)\}} . Moreover, we study the properties of the automorphism group action and we discuss relevant examples. In particular, we provide new complete examples on {T\mathbb{S}^{3}} which are invariant under a cohomogeneity one action of {\mathrm{SO}(4)} .


According to Klein’s Erlanger programme, one may (indirectly) specify a geometry by giving a group action. Conversely, given a group action, one may ask for the corresponding geometry. Recently, I showed that the real asymptotic symmetry groups of general relativity (in any signature) have natural ‘projective’ classical actions on suitable ‘Radon transform’ spaces of affine 3-planes in flat 4-space. In this paper, I give concrete models for these groups and actions. Also, for the ‘atomic’ cases, I give geometric structures for the spaces of affine 3-planes for which the given actions are the automorphism group.

In QSAR/QSPR studies, topological indices are utilized to predict the bioactivity of chemical compounds. In this paper, the closed forms of different Zagreb indices and atom?bond connectivity indices of regular dendrimers G[n] and H[n] in terms of a given parameter n are determined by using the automorphism group action. It was reported that these connectivity indices are correlated with some physicochemical properties and are used to measure the level of branching of the molecular carbon-atom skeleton.

The PCI (Partial-Cycle-Index) method of Fujita’s USCI (Unit-Subduced-CycleIndex) approach has been applied to symmetry-itemized enumerations of cubane derivatives, where groups for specifying three-aspects of symmetry, i.e., the point group for chirality/achirality, the RS-stereogenic group for RS-stereogenicity/RS-astereogenicity, and the LR-permutation group for sclerality/ascrelarity are considered as the subgroups of the RS-stereoisomeric group . Five types of stereoisograms are adopted as diagrammatical expressions of , after combined-permutation representations (CPR) are created as new tools for treating various groups according to Fujita’s stereoisogram approach. The use of CPRs under the GAP (Groups, Algorithms and Programming) system has provided new GAP functions for promoting symmetry-itemized enumerations. The type indices for characterizing stereoisograms (e.g., for a type-V stereoisogram) have been sophisticated into RS-stereoisomeric indices (e.g., for a cubane derivative with the composition ). The type-V stereoisograms for cubane derivatives with the composition are discussed under extended pseudoasymmetry as a new concept.

A graphical Frobenius representation (GFR) of a Frobenius (permutation) group $G$ is a graph $\Gamma$ whose automorphism group Aut$(\Gamma)$ acts as a Frobenius permutation group on the vertex set of $\Gamma$, that is, Aut$(\Gamma)$ acts vertex-transitively with the property that all nonidentity automorphisms fix either exactly one or zero vertices and there are some of each kind. The set $K$ of all fixed-point-free automorphisms together with the identity is called the kernel of $G$. Whenever $G$ is finite, $K$ is a regular normal subgroup of $G$ (F. G. Frobenius, 1901), in which case $\Gamma$ is a Cayley graph of $K$. The same holds true for all the infinite instances presented here.Infinite, locally finite, vertex-transitive graphs can be classified with respect to (i) the cardinality of their set of ends and (ii) their growth rate. We construct families of infinite GFRs for all possible combinations of these two properties. There exist infinitely many GFRs with polynomial growth of degree $d$ for every positive integer $d$, and there exist infinite families of GFRs of exponential growth, both $1$-ended and infinitely-ended, that underlie infinite chiral planar maps. There also exist GFRs of free products of finitely many finitely generated groups. Graphs of connectivity 1 having a Frobenius automorphism group are characterized.

By “algebra” we shall mean a finitary universal algebra, that is, a pair 〈A; F〉 where A and F are nonvoid sets and every element of F is a function, defined on A, of some finite number of variables. Armbrust and Schmidt showed in [1] that for any finite nonvoid set A, every group G of permutations of A is the automorphism group of an algebra defined on A and having only one operation, whose rank is the cardinality of A. In [6], Jónsson gave a necessary and sufficient condition for a given permutation group to be the automorphism group of an algebra, whereupon Plonka [8] modified Jonsson's condition to characterize the automorphism groups of algebras whose operations have ranks not exceeding a prescribed bound.

AbstractA permutation group A of degree n acting on a set X has a certain number of orbits, each a subset of X. More generally, A also induces an equivalence relation on X(k) the set of all k subsets of X, and the resulting equivalence classes are called k orbits of A, or generalized orbits. A self-complementary k-orbit is one in which for every k-subset S in it, X—S is also in it. Our main results are two formulas for the number s(A) of self-complementary generalized orbits of an arbitrary permutation group A in terms of its cycle index. We show that self-complementary graphs, digraphs, and relations provide special classes of self-complementary generalized orbits.
