چکیده
An endomorphism φ of a free group is called primitivity preserving if φ takes every primitive element to another primitive. In this paper we prove that every primitivity preserving endomorphism of a free group of a finite rank n ≥ 3 is an automorphism.

Primitivity of Permutation Groups, Coherent Algebras and Matrices
A coherent algebra is F-primitive if each of its non-identity basis matrices is primitive in the sense of Frobenius. We investigate the relationship between the primitivity of a permutation group, the primitivity of its centralizer algebra, and F-primitivity. The results obtained are applied to give new proofs of primitivity criteria for the exponentiations of permutation groups and of coherent...
متن کاملMapping Tori of Endomorphisms of Free Groups
For a large class of endomorphisms of finitely generated free groups we prove that their mapping tori groups are word-hyperbolic if and only if they don’t contain Baumslag-Solitar subgroups.

متن کاملThe C Closing Lemma for Nonsingular Endomorphisms Equivariant under Free Actions of Finite Groups
In this paper a closing lemma for C1 nonsingular endomorphisms equivariant under free actions of finite-groups is proved. Hence a recurrent trajectory, as well as all of its symmetric conjugates, of a C1 nonsingular endomorphism equivariant under a free action of a finite group can be closed up simultaneously by an arbitrarily small C1 equivariant perturbation.
متن کاملFixed Points of Endomorphisms of a Free Metabelian Group
We consider IA-endomorphisms (i.e. Identical in Abelianization) of a free metabelian group of finite rank, and give a matrix characterization of their fixed points which is similar to (yet different from) the well-known characterization of eigenvectors of a linear operator in a vector space. We then use our matrix characterization to elaborate several properties of the fixed point groups of met...
