The automorphism group of a resplendent model

چکیده

To clarify notation, Aut(A) is the group of all automorphisms of A and Th(Aut(A)) is the first-order theory of that group. An L-structure A = (A, . . .), where L is some first-order language, is resplendent (consult, for example, [Hod] or [Poi]) if, whenever L ⊇ L is a language that may have some constant symbols denoting elements of A and σ is an L-sentence that has a model B such that A 4 B↾L, then A has an L-expansion A that is a model of σ. While resplendent structures are perhaps not that well known (although [Kos] is an attempt to change that), the countable ones are more so, being precisely the countable, recursively saturated structures. It should be pointed out that every countable first-order theory T having an infinite model has resplendent models of every infinite cardinality κ ≥ |T |. The impetus for proving this theorem comes from two sources. The first is the remarkable theorem of Bludov, Giraudet, Glass and Sabbagh [BGGS] that states: If T is an arbitrary first-order theory having an infinite model, then it has a model A such that Th(Aut(A)) is undecidable. In this result, the language is not restricted to being finite. Indeed, this result has the following addendum: Moreover, if κ ≥ |T | is an infinite cardinal, then A can be chosen to have cardinality κ. This theorem suggests the problem of finding a nice class of models A |= T for which Th(Aut(A)) is undecidable. The second source is the following theorem that I proved (Theorem 6.1 of [Sch]) about models of Peano Arithmetic (PA): If M is a countable, recursively saturated model of PA, then Th(Aut(M)) is undecidable. Although the proof of this result was very specific to models of PA, it, together with the theorem from [BGGS], suggests that PA

NILPOTENCY AND SOLUBILITY OF GROUPS RELATIVE TO AN AUTOMORPHISM

In this paper we introduce the concept of α-commutator which its definition is based on generalized conjugate classes. With this notion, α-nilpotent groups, α-solvable groups, nilpotency and solvability of groups related to the automorphism are defined. N(G) and S(G) are the set of all nilpotency classes and the set of all solvability classes for the group G with respect to different automorphi...

Automorphism Group of a Possible 2-(121, 16, 2) Symmetric Design

Let D be a symmetric 2-(121, 16, 2) design with the automorphism group of Aut(D). In this paper the order of automorphism of prime order of Aut(D) is studied, and some results are obtained about the number of fixed points of these automorphisms. Also we will show that |Aut(D)|=2p 3q 5r 7s 11t 13u, where p, q, r, s, t and u are non-negative integers such that r, s, t, u ? 1. In addition we prese...

On the nilpotency class of the automorphism group of some finite p-groups

Let $G$ be a $p$-group of order $p^n$ and $Phi$=$Phi(G)$ be the Frattini subgroup of $G$. It is shown that the nilpotency class of $Autf(G)$, the group of all automorphisms of $G$ centralizing $G/ Fr(G)$, takes the maximum value $n-2$ if and only if $G$ is of maximal class. We also determine the nilpotency class of $Autf(G)$ when $G$ is a finite abelian $p$-group.

THE AUTOMORPHISM GROUP OF FINITE GRAPHS

Let G = (V,E) be a simple graph with exactly n vertices and m edges. The aim of this paper is a new method for investigating nontriviality of the automorphism group of graphs. To do this, we prove that if |E| >=[(n - 1)2/2] then |Aut(G)|>1 and |Aut(G)| is even number.
