groups have diagram automorphisms induced by automorphisms of their Dynkin diagrams, and field automorphisms induced by automorphisms of a finite field. Analogously...

GL(n, F) and its subgroups are often called linear groups or matrix groups (the automorphism group GL(V) is a linear group but not a matrix group). These...

simple groups, the only example is in the automorphisms of the symmetric and alternating groups: for n ≥ 3 , n ≠ 6 {\displaystyle n\geq 3,n\neq 6} the alternating...

18 inner automorphisms. As 2D isometry group D9, the group has mirrors at 20° intervals. The 18 inner automorphisms provide rotation of the mirrors by...

groups are the symmetric groups Sk for k at least 4, the alternating groups Ak for k at least 6, and the Mathieu groups M24, M23, M12, and M11. (Cameron...

subset of a symmetric group that is closed under composition of permutations, contains the identity permutation, and contains the inverse permutation of each...

Cr(Pn(k)) of birational automorphisms; any biregular automorphism is linear, so PGL coincides with the group of biregular automorphisms. Projective transformation...

Both these automorphisms are automorphisms of the algebraic group, have order 2, and commute, and the unitary group is the fixed points of the product automorphism...

mathematics, the category Grp (or Gp) has the class of all groups for objects and group homomorphisms for morphisms. As such, it is a concrete category. The study...
