Rota–Baxter operators for groups were recently introduced by Guo, Lang, and Sheng. Bardakov Gubarev showed that with each operator, one can associate a skew brace. Skew braces on group G be characterised in terms of certain gamma functions from to its automorphism $${{\,\mathrm{Aut}\,}}(G)$$ are defined functional equation. For the obtained corresponding take values inner $${{\,\mathrm{Inn}\,}}...

In this paper we use orderly algorithms to enumerate (perfect) one-factorizations of complete graphs, the automorphism groups of which contain certain prescribed subgroups. We showed that, for the complete graph Ki2, excluding those one-factorizations containing exactly one automorphism of six disjoint cycles of length two, there are precisely 56391 nonisomorphic one-factorizations of Ki2 with ...

The present paper deals with permutations induced by tame automorphisms over finite fields. The first main result is a formula for determining the sign of the permutation induced by a given elementary automorphism over a finite field. The second main result is a formula for determining the sign of the permutation induced by a given affine automorphism over a finite field. We also give a combini...

In this paper we investigate when the generic member of a family of complex K3 surfaces admitting a non–symplectic automorphism of finite order admits also a symplectic automorphism of the same order. We give a complete answer to this question if the order of the automorphism is a prime number and we provide several examples and partial results otherwise. Moreover we prove that, under certain c...

A. Borel proved that, if a finite group F acts effectively and continuously on a closed aspherical manifold M with centerless fundamental group π1(M), then a natural homomorphism ψ from F to the outer automorphism group Outπ1(M) of π1(M), called the associated abstract kernel, is a monomorphism. In this paper, we investigate to what extent Borel’s theorem holds for a compact Lie group G acting ...

In this easy introduction to higher gauge theory, we describe parallel transport for particles and strings in terms of 2-connections on 2-bundles. Just as ordinary gauge theory involves a gauge group, this generalization involves a gauge ‘2-group’. We focus on 6 examples. First, every abelian Lie group gives a Lie 2-group; the case of U(1) yields the theory of U(1) gerbes, which play an importa...

In this paper we shall present a natural generalisation of the notion of automorphism of a graph or digraph G, namely a two-fold automorphism. This is a pair (α, β) of permutations of the vertex set V(G) which acts on ordered pairs of vertices of G in the natural way. The action of (α, β) on all such ordered pairs gives a graph which is two-fold isomorphic to G. When α = β the two-fold automorp...

Let C be a unital AH-algebra and let A be a unital separable simple C∗-algebra with tracial rank zero. Suppose that φ1, φ2 : C → A are two unital monomorphisms. We show that there is a continuous path of unitaries {ut : t ∈ [0,∞)} of A such that lim t→∞ u∗tφ1(a)ut = φ2(a) for all a ∈ C if and only if [φ1] = [φ2] in KK(C,A), τ ◦ φ1 = τ ◦ φ2 for all τ ∈ T (A) and the rotation map η̃φ1,φ2 associate...

The Independence Theorem for the congruence lattice and the auto-morphism group of a nite lattice was proved by V. A. Baranski and A. Urquhart. Both proofs utilize the characterization theorem of congruence lattices of nite lattices (as nite distributive lattices) and the characterization theorem of auto-morphism groups of nite lattices (as nite groups). In this paper, we introduce a new, stron...

One learned from Gottesman-Knill theorem that the Clifford model of quantum computing [11] may be generated from a few quantum gates, the Hadamard, π/4-Phase and Controlled-Z gates, and efficiently simulated on a classical computer. We employ the group theoretical package GAP[10] for simulating the two qubit Clifford group C2. We already found that the symmetric group S(6), aka the automorphism...
