Automorphisms of 2–dimensional right-angled Artin groups
2007
We study the outer automorphism group of a right-angled Artin group AA in the case where the defining graph A is connected and triangle-free. We give an algebraic description of Out.AA/ in terms of maximal join subgraphs in A and prove that the Tits’ alternative holds for Out.AA/. We construct an analogue of outer space for Out.AA/ and prove that it is finite dimensional, contractible, and has a proper action of Out.AA/. We show that Out.AA/ has finite virtual cohomological dimension, give upper and lower bounds on this dimension and construct a spine for outer space realizing the most general upper bound. 20F36; 20F65, 20F28
Automorphisms of hyperelliptic GAG-codes
2009
Abstract We determine the n –automorphism group of generalized algebraic-geometry codes associated with rational, elliptic and hyperelliptic function fields. Such group is, up to isomorphism, a subgroup of the automorphism group of the underlying function field.
Irreducibility of Hurwitz spaces of coverings with one special fiber
2006
Abstract Let Y be a smooth, projective complex curve of genus g ⩾ 1. Let d be an integer ⩾ 3, let e = {e1, e2,..., er} be a partition of d and let | e | = Σi=1r(ei − 1). In this paper we study the Hurwitz spaces which parametrize coverings of degree d of Y branched in n points of which n − 1 are points of simple ramification and one is a special point whose local monodromy has cyclic type e and furthermore the coverings have full monodromy group Sd. We prove the irreducibility of these Hurwitz spaces when n − 1 + | e | ⩾ 2d, thus generalizing a result of Graber, Harris and Starr [A note on Hurwitz schemes of covers of a positive genus curve, Preprint, math. AG/0205056].
ON AUTOMORPHISMS OF GENERALIZED ALGEBRAIC-GEOMETRY CODES.
2007
Abstract We consider a class of generalized algebraic-geometry codes based on places of the same degree of a fixed algebraic function field over a finite field F / F q . We study automorphisms of such codes which are associated with automorphisms of F / F q .
Binary Hamming codes and Boolean designs
2021
AbstractIn this paper we consider a finite-dimensional vector space $${\mathcal {P}}$$ P over the Galois field $${\text {GF}}(2),$$ GF ( 2 ) , and the family $${\mathcal {B}}_k$$ B k (respectively, $${\mathcal {B}}_k^*$$ B k ∗ ) of all the k-sets of elements of $$\mathcal {P}$$ P (respectively, of $${\mathcal {P}}^*= {\mathcal {P}} \setminus \{0\}$$ P ∗ = P \ { 0 } ) summing up to zero. We compute the parameters of the 3-design $$({\mathcal {P}},{\mathcal {B}}_k)$$ ( P , B k ) for any (necessarily even) k, and of the 2-design $$({\mathcal {P}}^{*},{\mathcal {B}}_k^{*})$$ ( P ∗ , B k ∗ ) for any k. Also, we find a new proof for the weight distribution of the binary Hamming code. Moreover, we…
Quotients of the Dwork Pencil
2012
In this paper we investigate the geometry of the Dwork pencil in any dimension. More specifically, we study the automorphism group G of the generic fiber of the pencil over the complex projective line, and the quotients of it by various subgroups of G. In particular, we compute the Hodge numbers of these quotients via orbifold cohomology.
Automorphisms of Hyperelliptic GAG-codes
2008
In this talk, we discuss the n-automorphism groups of generalized algebraic-geometry codes associated with rational, elliptic and hyperelliptic function fields. Such groups are, up to isomorphism, subgroups of the automorphism groups of the underlying function fields. We also present some examples in which the n-automorphism groups can be determined explicitly.
Automorphisms of the integral group ring of the hyperoctahedral group
1990
The purpose of this paper is to verify a conjecture of Zassenhaus [3] for hyperoctahedral groups by proving that every normalized automorphism () of ZG can be written in the form () = Tu 0 I where I is an automorphism of ZG obtained by extending an automorphism of G linearly to ZG and u is a unit of (JJG. A similar result was proved for symmetric groups by Peterson in [2]; the reader should consult [3] or the survey [4] for other results of this kind. 1989
Transitive factorizations in the hyperoctahedral group
2008
The classical Hurwitz enumeration problem has a presentation in terms of transitive factor- izationsin the symmetric group. This presentationsuggestsageneralizationfromtypeAto otherfinite reflection groups and, in particular, to type B.W e study this generalization both from ac ombinatorial and a geometric point of view, with the prospect of providing am eans of understanding more of the structure of the moduli spaces of maps with an S2-symmetry. The type A case has been well studied and connects Hurwitz numbers to the moduli space of curves. W ec onjecture an analogous setting for the type B case that is studied here. 1I ntroduction Transitive factorizations of permutations into transposit…
Cyclotomic Polynomials and Finite Automorphisms of Groups
2001
We introduce minimal polynomials for finite automorphisms of commutative groups and relate them to the exponent of the fixed points and to the reducibility of the group. Some results can be extended to the noncommutative case.
