The study of algorithms admitting nontrivial symmetries is a promising way to find new short matrix multiplication algorithms. It is proved that the automorphism group of any algorithm for multiplying 3 3 matrices having bilinear complexity l 23 is isomorphic to a subgroup of the product Sₗ S₃ of the symmetric groups Sₗ and S₃.
V. P. Burichenko (Sun,) studied this question.
