Nilpotent groups of class two which underly a unique regular dessin

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A dessin is an embedding of connected bipartite graph into an oriented closed surface. A dessin is regular if its group of colour- and orientation-preserving automorphisms acts transitively on the edges. In the present paper regular dessins with a nilpotent automorphism group are investigated, and attention are paid on those with the highest level of external symmetry. Depending on the algebraic theory of dessins and using group-theoretical methods, we present a classification of nilpotent groups of class two which underly a unique regular dessin.


On peut associer à chaque dessin d'enfants son groupe d'automorphismes. Un problème important consiste à caractériser ces groupes. Dans cet article, les \(p\)-groupes \(G\) finis de longueur 2 (i.e. tels qu'il existe une suite non triviale \(\left<e\right>\triangleleft G'\triangleleft G\)) qui apparaissent comme groupe d'automorphismes d'un unique dessin d'enfant sont classifiés. Ces groupes appartiennent à trois familles infinies. La preuve est entièrement algébrique et repose principalement sur des considérations élémentaires sur les groupes.
