It is proved that the periodic point submonoid of a free inverse monoid endomorphism is always finitely generated. Using Chomsky’s hierarchy of languages, we prove that the fixed point submonoid of an endomorphism of a free inverse monoid can be represented by a context-sensitive language but, in general, it cannot be represented by a context-free language.

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.

Assuming the continuum hypothesis, we construct a pure subgroup G of the Baer-Specker group Z0 with the following properties. Every endomorphism of G differs from a scalar multiplication by an endomorphism of finite rank. Yet G has uncountably many homomorphisms to Z.

that is both analytic (as a mapping of complex manifolds) and algebraic: addition of points in E(C) corresponds to addition in C modulo the lattice L. This correspondence between lattices and elliptic curves over C is known as the Uniformization Theorem; we will spend this lecture and part of the next proving it. To make the correspondence explicit, we need to specify the map Φ from C/L and an ...

The involutions in this paper are algebra anti-automorphisms of period two. Involutions on endomorphism algebras of finite-dimensional vector spaces are adjoint to symmetric or skew-symmetric bilinear forms, or to hermitian forms. Analogues of the classical invariants of quadratic forms (discriminant, Clifford algebra, signature) have been defined for arbitrary central simple algebras with invo...

Let G be a connected Lie group acting by algebra automorphisms on a finite-dimensional complex central simple algebra A. The algebra A is isomorphic to the endomorphism algebra of a projective representation V of G. We study the invariant subalgebras of A. In particular, we show that if V is irreducible, then the invariant subalgebras appear in dual pairs arising from factorizations of V . We a...

Abstract The automorphism group $\operatorname {Aut}(F_n)$ of the free $F_n$ acts on a space $A_d(n)$ Jacobi diagrams degree d n oriented arcs. We study -module structure by using two actions associated graded vector : an action general linear {GL}(n,\mathbb {Z})$ and Lie algebra $\mathrm {gr}(\operatorname {IA}(n))$ IA-automorphism {IA}(n)$ with its lower central series. extend to Andreadakis ...
