Automorphisms of quotients of ΠGL(ni)

William Charles Waterhouse

Vol. 102 (1982), No. 1, 221–233
Abstract

Quotients of GL(n) by finite subgroups can have radial algebraic automorphisms. More generally, quotients of Π1sGL(ni) by (s 1)-dimensional central subgroups can have automorphisms not induced by automorphisms of ΠGL(ni). This paper works out an explicit description of all their algebraic group automorphisms. As a sample application, the normalizer of the GL(n)-action on Λr(kn) is computed.
