We introduce the notions ‘virtual automorphism group’ of a minimal flow and ‘semiregular flow’ and investigate the relationship between the virtual and actual group of automorphisms.

In this paper we consider the group of symmetries of the Sulphur molecule (S8 ) which is a finite point group of order 16 denote by D16 generated by two elements having the presentation { u\upsilon/u2= \upsilon8 = (u\upsilon)2 = 1} and find the complete set of genera (g ≥ 2) of Compact Riemann surfaces on which D16 acts as a group of automorphisms as follows: D16 the group of symmetries of the sulphur (S8) molecule of order 16 acts as an automorphism group of a compact Riemann surfaces of genus g ≥ 2 if and only if there are integers \lambda and \mu such that \lambda \leq 1 and \mu \geq 1 and g=\lambda +8\mu (\geq2) , \mu\geq |\lambda|

Using the definition of a Riemann surface, as given for example by Ahlfors and Sario, one can prove that all Riemann surfaces are orientable. However by modifying their definition one can obtain structures on non-orientable surfaces. In fact nonorientable Riemann surfaces have been considered by Klein and Teichmüller amongst others. The problem we consider here is to look for the largest possible groups of automorphisms of compact non-orientable Riemann surfaces and we find that this throws light on the corresponding problem for orientable Riemann surfaces, which was first considered by Hurwitz [1]. He showed that the order of a group of automorphisms of a compact orientable Riemann surface of genus g cannot be bigger than 84(g – 1). This bound he knew to be attained because Klein had exhibited a surface of genus 3 which admitted PSL (2, 7) as its automorphism group, and the order of PSL(2, 7) is 168 = 84(3–1). More recently Macbeath [5, 3] and Lehner and Newman [2] have found infinite families of compact orientable surfaces for which the Hurwitz bound is attained, and in this paper we shall exhibit some new families.

SynopsisLet G be a group and S a group of automorphisms of G. The simplicity of the near-ring, MS(G), of zero preserving functions on G which commute with the elements of S, is investigated. The relationship between simplicity, 2-primitivity and containment relations among the stabilizers of elements of G is explored.

This paper examines the relationship between the automorphism group of a hyperelliptic curve defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic two and the 2-rank of the curve. In particular, we exploit the wild ramification to use the Deuring–Shafarevich formula in order to analyze the ramification of hyperelliptic curves that admit extra automorphisms and use this data to impose restrictions on the genera and 2-ranks of such curves. We also show how some of the techniques and results carry over to the case where our base field is of characteristic p > 2.

The automorphism group of a 3-generated 2-group G of intermediate growth is determined and it is shown that the outer group of automorphisms of G is an elementary abelian 2-group of infinite rank.

Let [Formula: see text] be positive integers, and let [Formula: see text] be a split metacyclic group such that [Formula: see text]. We say that [Formula: see text] is absolutely split with respect to[Formula: see text] provided that for any [Formula: see text], if [Formula: see text], then there exists [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we give a sufficient and necessary condition for the group [Formula: see text] being absolutely split. This generalizes a result of Sanming Zhou and the second author in [Weak metacirculants of odd prime power order, J. Comb. Theory A 155 (2018) 225–243]. We also use this result to investigate the relationship between metacirculants and weak metacirculants. Metacirculants were introduced by Alspach and Parsons in [Formula: see text] and have been a rich source of various topics since then. As a generalization of this class of graphs, Marušič and Šparl in 2008 introduced the so-called weak metacirculants. A graph is called a weak metacirculant if it has a vertex-transitive metacyclic automorphism group. In this paper, it is proved that a weak metacirculant of [Formula: see text]-power order is a metacirculant if and only if it has a vertex-transitive split metacyclic automorphism group. This provides a partial answer to an open question in the literature.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the relationship between a given automorphism ψ of a hypermap (α, σ) and its projection (or induced automorphism) [Formula: see text] on the hypermap [Formula: see text], the latter being the quotient hypermap of (α, σ) by an automorphism group G. Moreover, we propose a generalization of the notion of hyperelliptic hypermaps by defining p-elliptic hypermaps.

This paper considers the relationship between the automorphism group of a torsion-free nilpotent group and the automorphism groups of its subgroups and factor groups. If G2 is the derived group of the group G let Aut (G, G2) be the group of automorphisms of G which induce the identity on G/G2, and if B is a subgroup of Aut G let B¯ be the image of B in Aut G/Aut (G, G2). A p–group or torsion-free group G is said to be special if G2 coincides with Z(G), the centre of G, and G/G2 and G2 are both elementary abelian p–groups or free abelian groups.

We prove that the automorphism group Aut (m,p,n) of an imprimitive complex reflection group G(m,p,n) is the product of a normal subgroup T(m,p,n) by a subgroup R(m,p,n), where R(m,p,n) is the group of automorphisms that preserve reflections and T(m,p,n) consists of automorphisms that map every element of G(m,p,n) to a scalar multiple of itself.

The proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is applied to the minimal flow unit (MFU) of a turbulent channel flow. Our purpose is to establish a numerical validation of low-dimensional models based on the POD. The simplest (two-mode) model possible is built for the simplified flow in the minimal unit. The dynamical behaviour predicted by the model is compared with that actually occurring in the direct numerical simulation of the flow. The various modelling assumptions which underlie the construction of low-dimensional models are examined and confronted with numerical evidence. The relationship between intermittency in the MFU and intermittent low-dimensional parameters is investigated closely. The agreement observed is quite satisfactory, especially given the crudeness of the truncation considered. To further demonstrate the adequacy of the model, we develop a dynamical filtering procedure to recover information from realistic (partial) measurements. The success obtained illustrates the versatility of the low-dimensional paradigm.
