Let F n be the free group of a finite rank n. We study orbits Orb Ο (u), where u is an element of the group F n , under the action of an automorphism Ο. If an orbit like that is finite, we determine precisely what its cardinality can be if u runs through the whole group F n , and Ο runs through the

β¦ Synopsis
We consider finitely generated free non-associative algebras, free commutative non-associative algebras, and free anti-commutative non-associative algebras. We study orbits of elements of these algebras under the action of automorphism groups. Using free differential calculus we obtain matrix criteria for a system of elements to have given rank (or to be primitive). It gives us a possibility to construct fast algorithm to recognize primitive systems of elements. We show that if an endomorphism of a free algebra preserves the automorphic orbit of a nonzero element, then it is an automorphism of this algebra. In particular, endomorphisms preserving primitivity of elements are automorphisms.

In this paper we consider test polynomials in the polynomial algebra and the free associative algebra. A test polynomial is defined by the following property: every endomorphism which fixes the polynomial is an automorphism. We construct families of test polynomials for the polynomial algebra and th
