We show that, for a closed non-orientable surface $F$, an automorphism of $H_1(F,\Z)$ is induced by a homeomorphism of $F$ if and only if it preserves the (mod 2) intersection pairing. We shall also prove the corresponding result for…

Let $f$ be a harmonic map from a Riemann surface to a Riemannian $n$-manifold. We prove that if there is a holomorphic diffeomorphism $h$ between open subsets of the surface such that $f\circ h = f$, then $f$ factors through a holomorphic…

Simplicial surfaces describe the incidence relations between vertices, edges and faces of triangulated 2-dimensional manifolds in a purely combinatorial way. By considering only the incidences of edges and faces, simplicial surfaces are…

A combinatorial map is a connected topological graph cellularly embedded in a surface. This monograph concentrates on the automorphism group of a map, which is related to the automorphism group of a Klein surface and a Smarandache manifold,…

Let $M$ be a symplectic manifold equipped with a Hamiltonian action of a torus $T$. Let $F$ denote the fixed point set of the $T$-action and let $i:F\hookrightarrow M$ denote the inclusion. By a theorem of F. Kirwan \cite{K} the induced map…

We give a new elementary proof of the theorem that a natural map from Milnor's construction $F[S^1]$ to the simplicial group $\mathrm{AP}$ of pure braids is injective. Our approach is group-theoretic and does not rely on Lie algebras.

In this paper, we prove that each automorphism of a surface braid group is induced by a homeomorphism of the underlying surface, provided that this surface is a closed, connected, orientable surface of genus at least 2, and the number of…

In all possible cases, we prove that local embeddings between two curve complexes whose complexities do not increase from domain to codomain are induced by surface homeomorphism. This is our first main result. From this we can deduce our…

Let $N$ be a connected closed non-orientable surface of genus at least 6. In this work we prove that there exists a finite subgraph $\mathfrak{X}$ (Irmak's finite rigid set from ``Elmas Irmak. Exhausting curve complexes by finite rigid sets…

We prove the following: 1. Let epsilon>0 and let S_1,S_2 be two closed hyperbolic surfaces. Then there exists locally-isometric covers S'_i of S_i (for i=1,2) such that there is a (1+\epsilon) bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism between S'_1 and…

Flip graphs of non-crossing configurations in the plane are widely studied objects, e.g., flip graph of triangulations, spanning trees, Hamiltonian cycles, and perfect matchings. Typically, it is an easy exercise to prove connectivity of a…

We prove that every simplicial automorphism of the free splitting graph of a free group of at least rank 3 is induced by an outer automorphism of the free group.

Let $\varphi:F_1\to F_2$ be an injective morphism of free groups. If $\varphi$ is geometric (i.e. induced by an inclusion of oriented compact connected surfaces with nonempty boundary), then we show that $\varphi$ is an isometric embedding…

Let $N$ be a compact, connected, non-orientable surface of genus $\rho$ with $n$ boundary components, with $\rho \ge 5$ and $n \ge 0$, and let $\mathcal{M} (N)$ be the mapping class group of $N$. We show that, if $\mathcal{G}$ is a finite…

In the paper, we consider the harmonic maps between surfaces $\Sigma$ and $S$ in the homotopy class of a (branched) covering map $u_0$. We prove the uniqueness of critical points of energy function and the injectivity of Hopf differential…

To every half-translation surface, we associate a saddle connection graph, which is a subgraph of the arc graph. We prove that every isomorphism between two saddle connection graphs is induced by an affine homeomorphism between the…

The results obtained in this paper grew from an attempt to generalize the main theorem of [1]. There it was shown that any circuit injection (a 1-1 onto edge map f such that if C is a circuit then f(C) is a circuit) from a 3-connected, not…

A subcomplex $\mathcal{X}$ of a cell complex $\mathcal{C}$ is called \emph{rigid} with respect to another cell complex $\mathcal{C}'$ if every injective simplicial map $\lambda:\mathcal{X} \rightarrow \mathcal{C}'$ has a unique extension to…

Let $N$ be a compact, connected, nonorientable surface of genus $g$ with $n$ boundary components with $g \geq 5$, $n \geq 0$. Let $\mathcal{T}(N)$ be the two-sided curve complex of $N$. If $\lambda :\mathcal{T}(N) \rightarrow…

In this note we make progress toward a conjecture of Durham--Fanoni--Vlamis, showing that every infinite-type surface with finite-invariance index 1 and no nondisplaceable compact subsurfaces fails to have a good curve graph, that is, a…
