By a map we mean a $2$-cell decomposition of a closed compact surface, i.e., an embedding of a graph such that every face is homeomorphic to an open disc. Automorphism of a map can be thought of as a permutation of the vertices which…

The concept of quasi-isometric embedding maps between $*$-algebras is introduced. We have obtained some basic results related to this notion and similar to quasi-isometric embedding maps on metric spaces, under some conditions, we give a…

Here we classify all topological spaces where all bijections to itself are homeomorphisms. As a consequence, we also classify all topological spaces where all maps to itself are continuous. Analogously, we classify all measurable spaces…

The present paper is devoted to questions located at the junction of the theory of space quasiconformal mappings and Riemannian surfaces. Theorems on local behavior of one class of open discrete mappings with unbounded characteristic of…

We show that every continuous map from one translationally finite tiling space to another can be approximated by a local map. If two local maps are homotopic, then the homotopy can be chosen so that every interpolating map is also local.

We generalize the notions of $\beta$- and $\lambda$-maps to general selections of sublocales, obtaining different classes of localic maps. These new classes of maps are used to characterize almost normality, extremal disconnectedness,…

We refine the construction of quasi-homomorphisms on mapping class groups. It is useful to know that there are unbounded quasi-homomorphisms which are bounded when restricted to particular subgroups since then one deduces that the mapping…

We are studying spatial mappings that satisfy some space analog of a hydrodynamical type of growth in the neighborhood of the infinity. It is proved that homeomorphisms of the specified class form equicontinuous families under some…

In this paper, using the classical covering theory, we introduce a generalization of covering maps of a space $X$ with respect to a topology $\tau$ on the fundamental group of $X$. We show that the famous notions, covering, semicovering,…

Quantum families of maps between quantum spaces are defined and studied. We prove that quantum semigroup (and sometimes quantum group) structures arise naturally on such objects out of more fundamental properties. As particular cases we…

Local properties of the fundamental group of a path-connected topological space can pose obstructions to the applicability of covering space theory. A generalized covering map is a generalization of the classical notion of covering map…

The $\lambda$-perfect maps, a generalization of perfect maps (continuous closed maps with compact fibers) are presented. Using $P_\lambda$-spaces and the concept of $\lambda$-compactness some results regarding $\lambda$-perfect maps will be…

Let $M$ be a compact manifold of dimension at least 2. If $M$ admits a minimal homeomorphism then $M$ admits a minimal noninvertible map.

Let $f$ be a continuous endomorphism of a surface $M$, and $A$ an attracting set such that the restriction $f|_A: A \to A$ is a $d:1$ covering map. We show that if $f$ is a local homeomorphism in the immediate basin $B^0_A$ of $A$, then $f$…

In this paper we show that a digital $(\kappa,\lambda)-$continuous surjection $p:(E,\kappa)\rightarrow (B,\lambda)$ is a digital covering map if and only if it is a local isomorphism. Moreover, we find a loop criterion for a digital…

In a previous paper we introduced examples of Hamiltonian mappings with phase space structures resembling circle packings. It was shown that a vast number of periodic orbits can be found using special properties. We now use this information…

In this paper, we study relative deformations of maps into a family of K\"ahler manifolds whose images are divisors. We show that if the map satisfies a condition called semiregularity, then it allows relative deformations if and only if…

We prove under certain conditions that any stable unfolding of a quasi-homogeneous map-germ with finite singularity type is substantial. We then prove that if an equidimensional map-germ is finitely determined, of corank 1, and either it…

We study the homotopy theory of locally ordered spaces, that is manifolds with boundary whose charts are partially ordered in a compatible way. Their category is not particularly well-behaved with respect to colimits. However, this category…

The purpose of this paper is to find conditions for a continuous onto map $\phi\colon X\rightarrow Y$ and its induced map $\phi_*\colon\mathcal{M}^1(X)\rightarrow\mathcal{M}^1(Y)$ to be semi-open, where $X$, $Y$ are compact Hausdorff spaces…
