Monomial automorphism

From Groupprops

Jump to: navigation, search
This article defines an automorphism property, viz a property of group automorphisms. Hence, it also defines a function property (property of functions from a group to itself)

Definition

A monomial automorphism is a monomial map that is also an automorphism

Further information: monomial map

Definition with symbols

An automorphism f:G \to G is termed a monomial automorphism if there exists a word w(x,y_1,y_2,\ldots,y_n) and fixed elements a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_n \in G such that for any g \in G:

f(g) = w(g,a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_n)

If we remove the condition of f being an automorphism, we get the more general notion of a monomial map.

A product of monomial automorphisms is a monomial automorphism. This follows from the following two facts:

  • A product of automorphisms is an automorphism
  • A product of monomial maps is a monomial map
