Hurwitz spaces of Galois coverings of P1, whose Galois groups are Weyl groups
2006
Abstract We prove the irreducibility of the Hurwitz spaces which parametrize equivalence classes of Galois coverings of P 1 , whose Galois group is an arbitrary Weyl group, and the local monodromies are reflections. This generalizes a classical theorem due to Luroth, Clebsch and Hurwitz.
Symplectic automorphisms of prime order on K3 surfaces
2006
The aim of this paper is to study algebraic K3 surfaces (defined over the complex number field) with a symplectic automorphism of prime order. In particular we consider the action of the automorphism on the second cohomology with integer coefficients. We determine the invariant sublattice and its perpendicular complement, and show that the latter coincides with the Coxeter-Todd lattice in the case of automorphism of order three. We also compute many explicit examples, with particular attention to elliptic fibrations.
ISOMETRY GROUPS OF WEIGHTED SPACES OF HOLOMORPHIC FUNCTIONS: TRANSITIVITY AND UNIQUENESS
2009
We survey some recent results on the isometries of weighted spaces of holomorphic functions defined on an open subset of ℂn. We will see that these isometries are determined by a subgroup of the automorphisms on a distinguished subset of the domain. We will look for weights with 'large' groups of isometries and observe that in certain circumstances the group of isometries determines the weight.
Partial *-algebras of closable operators: A review
1996
This paper reviews the theory of partial *-algebras of closable operators in Hilbert space (partial O*-algebras), with some emphasis on partial GW*-algebras. First we discuss the general properties and the various types of partial *-algebras and partial O*-algebras. Then we summarize the representation theory of partial *-algebras, including a generalized Gel’fand-Naimark-Segal construction; the main tool here is the notion of positive sesquilinear form, that we study in some detail (extendability, normality, order structure, …). Finally we turn to automorphisms and derivations of partial O*-algebras, and their mutual relationship. The central theme here is to find conditions that guarante…
A note on endomorphisms of hypercentral groups
2002
Abstract Let H be a subnormal subgroup of a hypercentral group G. We prove that endomorphisms of G are uniquely determined by their restrictions to H if and only if Hom(G/HG,G)=0, and draw some consequences from this fact.
Graph Connectivity, Monadic NP and built-in relations of moderate degree
1995
It has been conjectured [FSV93] that an existential secondoder formula, in which the second-order quantification is restricted to unary relations (i.e. a Monadic NP formula), cannot express Graph Connectivity even in the presence of arbitrary built-in relations.
Automorphism groups of some affine and finite type Artin groups
2004
We observe that, for fixed n ≥ 3, each of the Artin groups of finite type An, Bn = Cn, and affine type ˜ An−1 and ˜ Cn−1 is a central extension of a finite index subgroup of the mapping class group of the (n + 2)-punctured sphere. (The centre is trivial in the affine case and infinite cyclic in the finite type cases). Using results of Ivanov and Korkmaz on abstract commensurators of surface mapping class groups we are able to determine the automorphism groups of each member of these four infinite families of Artin groups. A rank n Coxeter matrix is a symmetric n × n matrix M with integer entries mij ∈ N ∪ {∞} where mij ≥ 2 for ij, and mii = 1 for all 1 ≤ i ≤ n. Given any rank n Coxeter matr…
Symmetries and equations of smooth quartic surfaces with many lines
2017
We provide explicit equations of some smooth complex quartic surfaces with many lines, including all 10 quartics with more than 52 lines. We study the relation between linear automorphisms and some configurations of lines such as twin lines and special lines. We answer a question by Oguiso on a determinantal presentation of the Fermat quartic surface.
Integral curves of derivations
1988
We integrate, by a constructive method, derivations of even degree on the sections of an exterior bundle by families of Z 2-graded algebra automorphisms, dependent on a real parameter, and which satisfy a flow condition. We also study the case of local endomorphisms when their components of degree zero and derivations and with no component of negative degree, but then we have integral families of R-linear automorphisms. This integration method can be applied to the Frolicher—Nijenhuis derivations on the Cartan algebra of differential forms, and to the integration of superfields on graded manifolds.
Metric Lie groups admitting dilations
2019
We consider left-invariant distances $d$ on a Lie group $G$ with the property that there exists a multiplicative one-parameter group of Lie automorphisms $(0, \infty)\rightarrow\mathtt{Aut}(G)$, $\lambda\mapsto\delta_\lambda$, so that $ d(\delta_\lambda x,\delta_\lambda y) = \lambda d(x,y)$, for all $x,y\in G$ and all $\lambda>0$. First, we show that all such distances are admissible, that is, they induce the manifold topology. Second, we characterize multiplicative one-parameter groups of Lie automorphisms that are dilations for some left-invariant distance in terms of algebraic properties of their infinitesimal generator. Third, we show that an admissible left-invariant distance on a Lie …
