On Automorphism Groups of Some Types of Generic Distributions
نویسندگان
چکیده
To certain types of generic distributions (subbundles in a tangent bundle) one can associate canonical Cartan connections. Many of these constructions fall into the class of parabolic geometries. The aim of this article is to show how strong restrictions on the possibles sizes of automorphism groups of such distributions can be deduced from the existence of canonical Cartan connections. This needs no information on how the Cartan connections are actually constructed and only very basic information on their properties. In particular, we discuss the examples of generic distributions of rank two in dimension five, rank three in dimension six, and rank four in dimension seven.

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.
متن کاملAutomorphism 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...
متن کامل1-Designs from the group $PSL_{2}(59)$ and their automorphism groups
In this paper, we consider the projective special linear group $PSL_2(59)$ and construct some 1-designs by applying the Key-Moori method on $PSL_2(59)$. Moreover, we obtain parameters of these designs and their automorphism groups. It is shown that $PSL_2(59)$ and $PSL_2(59):2$ appear as the automorphism group of the constructed designs.
متن کاملAUTOMORPHISM GROUPS OF SOME NON-TRANSITIVE GRAPHS
An Euclidean graph associated with a molecule is defined by a weighted graph with adjacency matrix M = [dij], where for ij, dij is the Euclidean distance between the nuclei i and j. In this matrix dii can be taken as zero if all the nuclei are equivalent. Otherwise, one may introduce different weights for distinct nuclei. Balaban introduced some monster graphs and then Randic computed complexit...
متن کاملA Note on Absolute Central Automorphisms of Finite $p$-Groups
Let $G$ be a finite group. The automorphism $sigma$ of a group $G$ is said to be an absolute central automorphism, if for all $xin G$, $x^{-1}x^{sigma}in L(G)$, where $L(G)$ be the absolute centre of $G$. In this paper, we study some properties of absolute central automorphisms of a given finite $p$-group.
