We consider finite-sheeted, regular, possibly branched covering spaces of compact surfaces with boundary and the associated liftable and symmetric mapping class groups. In particular, we classify when either of these subgroups coincides…

Recently, regular Cayley maps of cyclic groups and dihedral groups have been classified. A nature question is to classify regular Cayley maps of elementary abelian $p$-groups $Z_p^n$. In this paper, a complete classification of regular…

We prove Wise's $W$-cycles conjecture. Consider a compact graph $\Gamma'$ immering into another graph $\Gamma$. For any immersed cycle $\Lambda:S^1\to \Gamma$, we consider the map $\Lambda'$ from the circular components $\mathbb{S}$ of the…

We generalise the notions of semi-regularity, regularity, and bi-regularity to unitary solutions of the braided Pentagon equation in concrete W*-categories with semi-regular/regular/bi-regular braiding, and study their properties. We show,…

We show that the use of the main characteristics of the circle map leads naturally to establish a few statements on primes and pseudoprimes. In this way a Fermat's theorem on primes and some interesting properties of pseudoprimes are…

The reconstruction theorem is a cornerstone of the theory of regularity structures [Hai14]. In [CZ20] the authors formulate and prove this result in the language of distributions theory on the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$, without any…

The recent proposal by Ben-Zvi, Sakellaridis and Venkatesh of a duality in the relative Langlands program, leads, via the process of quantization of Hamiltonian varieties, to a duality theory of branching problems. This often unexpectedly…

We present an extension of the classical theory of calculus of variations to generalized functions. The framework is the category of generalized smooth functions, which includes Schwartz distributions while sharing many nonlinear properties…

We study the monodromy of vanishing cycles for map-germs $f:(C^{2n},0) \to (\CM^k,0)$ whose components are in involution. Although the singular fibres of such maps have non-isolated singularities, it is shown that the regular fibres are…

Motivated by the theory of Inoue-type varieties, we give a structure theorem for projective manifolds $W_0$ with the property of admitting a 1-parameter deformation where $W_t$ is a hypersurface in a projective smooth manifold $Z_t$. Their…

We present a proof of the Chevalley-Weil Theorem that is somewhat different from the proofs appearing in the literature and with somewhat weaker hypotheses, of purely topological type. We also provide a discussion of the assumptions, and an…

For a normal algebraic variety we generalise the relation between reflexive rank one sheaves and Weil divisors to reflexive sheaves of arbitrary rank and so-called Weil decorations. As an application, we define and study a natural…

Many open problems and important theorems in low-dimensional topology have been formulated as statements about certain 2--complexes called gropes. This paper describes a precise correspondence between embedded gropes in 4--manifolds and the…

In this paper, we define generalized braid theories in alignment with the language of Fenn and Bartholomew for knot theories, and compute a generating set for the pure generalized braid theories. Using this, we prove that every oriented…

We study generalized splines from the perspective of the representation theory of the category of graphs with contractions. Our main theorem proves a kind of finite generation, which in turn implies the existence of a ``universal generating…

We introduce the volume-preserving equivalence among symmetric matrix-valued map-germs which is the unimodular version of Bruce's $\mathcal{G}$-equivalence. The key concept to deduce unimodular classification out of classification relative…

A closed set $F$ is Whitney 1-regular if for each compact $K\subset F$, the geodesic distance in $K$ is equivalent to the Euclidean distance. Let $P$ be the Chevalley map defined by an integrity basis of the algebra of polynomials invariant…

In this paper, we give a new approach for the study of Weyl-type theorems. Precisely we introduce the concepts of spectral valued and spectral partitioning functions. Using two natural order relations on the set of spectral valued…

One delivers here the extended Bernoulli and Taylor formula of a new sort with the rest term of the Cauchy type recently derived by the author in the case of the so called $\psi$-difference calculus which constitutes the representative for…

We study rack and quandle coverings from a universal algebraic viewpoint and we show how they can be understood using the notion of strongly abelian congruences. We provide an abstract characterization of several particular types of…
