Fixed-point-free Representations over Fields of Prime Characteristic
The irreducible representations over prime fields of characteristic p for those solvable groups which occur as groups of fixed-point-free automorphisms on finite groups are determined.
متن کاملSome Remarks on Commuting Fixed Point Free Automorphisms of Groups
In this article we will find necessary and sufficient conditions for a fixed point free automorphism (fpf automorphism) of a group to be a commuting automorphism. For a given prime we find the smallest order of a non abelian p-group admitting a commuting f...
متن کاملFractal trees for irreducible automorphisms of free groups
The self-similar structure of the attracting subshift of a primitive substitution is carried over to the limit set of the repelling tree in the boundary of Outer Space of the corresponding irreducible outer automorphism of a free group. Thus, this repelling tree is self-similar (in the sense of graph directed constructions). Its Hausdorff dimension is computed. This reveals the fractal nature o...
متن کاملParageometric Outer Automorphisms of Free Groups
We study those fully irreducible outer automorphisms φ of a finite rank free group Fr which are parageometric, meaning that the attracting fixed point of φ in the boundary of outer space is a geometric R-tree with respect to the action of Fr, but φ itself is not a geometric outer automorphism in that it is not represented by a homeomorphism of a surface. Our main result shows that the expansion...
متن کاملFree group automorphisms with many fixed points at infinity
A concrete family of automorphisms αn of the free group Fn is exhibited, for any n ≥ 3, and the following properties are proved: αn is irreducible with irreducible powers, has trivial fixed subgroup, and has 2n− 1 attractive as well as 2n repelling fixed points at ∂Fn . As a consequence of a recent result of V Guirardel there can not be more fixed points on ∂Fn , so that this family provides th...
