Splitting Tiled Surfaces With Abelian Conformal Tiling Group, Sean A. Broughton Sep 1999

Splitting Tiled Surfaces With Abelian Conformal Tiling Group, Sean A. Broughton

Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)

Let p be a reflection on a closed Riemann Surface S, i.e., an anti-conformal involutary isometry of S with a non-empty fixed point subset. Let Sp denote the fixed point subset of p, which is also called the mirror of p. If S −Sp has two components, then p is called separating and we say that S splits at the mirror Sp. Otherwise p is called non-separating. We assume that the system of mirrors, Sq, as q varies over all reflections in the isometry group Aut*(S) defines a tiling of the surface, consisting of triangles. In turn, the tiling determines …


Finite Abelian Groups In Which The Probability Of An Automorphism Fixing An Element Is Large, Gary J. Sherman Mar 1991

Finite Abelian Groups In Which The Probability Of An Automorphism Fixing An Element Is Large, Gary J. Sherman

Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)

Let G be a finite group and let A be its automorphism group. We obtain various results on the probability that a random element of A fixes a random element of G.
