The number of homomorphisms from a finite graph $F$ to the complete graph $K_n$ is the evaluation of the chromatic polynomial of $F$ at $n$. Suitably scaled, this is the Tutte polynomial evaluation $T(F;1-n,0)$ and an invariant of the cycle…

Let $f$ be a univalent self-map of the unit disc. We introduce a technique, that we call {\sl semigroup-fication}, which allows to construct a continuous semigroup $(\phi_t)$ of holomorphic self-maps of the unit disc whose time one map…

In this paper, we study the graph classification problem from the graph homomorphism perspective. We consider the homomorphisms from $F$ to $G$, where $G$ is a graph of interest (e.g. molecules or social networks) and $F$ belongs to some…

Given a fixed-point free compact holomorphic self-map $f$ on a bounded symmetric domain $D$, which may be infinite dimensional, we establish the existence of a family $\{H(\xi, \lambda)\}_{\lambda >0}$ of convex $f$-invariant domains at a…

Let $\varphi\colon\Gamma\to G$ be a homomorphism of groups. We consider factorizations $\Gamma\xrightarrow{f} M\xrightarrow{g} G$ of $\varphi$ such that either $g$ or $f$ are universal normal maps (namely, crossed modules). These two…

For a locally finite graph $\Gamma$, we consider its mapping class group $\text{Map}(\Gamma)$ as defined by Algom-Kfir-Bestvina. For these groups, we prove a generalization of the results of Laudenbach and Brendle-Broaddus-Putman, producing…

Let M and N be two closed (not necessarily orientable) surfaces, and f a continuous map from M to N. By definition, the minimal multiplicity MMR[f] of the map f denotes the minimal integer k having the following property: f can be deformed…

Consider the following generalization of the bicyclic monoid. Let $\kappa$ be any infinite cardinal and let $\mathcal{IP\!F}\left(\sigma{\mathbb{N}^\kappa}\right)$ be the semigroup of all order isomorphisms between principal filters of the…

Let $(W,\Pi)$ be a Riemann domain over a complex manifold $M$ and $w_0$ be a point in $W$. Let $\mathbb D$ be the unit disk in $\mathbb C$ and $\mathbb T=\bd\mathbb D$. Consider the space ${\mathcal S}_{1,w_0}({\bar{\mathbb D}},W,M)$ of…

Let $\Out(F_n)$ denote the outer automorphism group of the free group $F_n$ with $n>3$. We prove that for any finite index subgroup $\Gamma<\Out(F_n)$, the group $\Aut(\Gamma)$ is isomorphic to the normalizer of $\Gamma$ in $\Out(F_n)$. We…

The observation that a graph of rank $n$ can be assembled from graphs of smaller rank $k$ with $s$ leaves by pairing the leaves together leads to a process for assembling homology classes for $Out(F_n)$ and $Aut(F_n)$ from classes for…

In this paper, we are interested in the construction of quasiconformal mappings between domains of the Heisenberg group H that minimise a mean distortion functional. We propose to construct such mappings by considering a corresponding…

We describe the groups that have the same holomorph as a finite perfect group. Our results are complete for centerless groups. When the center is non-trivial, some questions remain open. The peculiarities of the general case are illustrated…

If G is a group, a pseudocharacter f: G-->R is a function which is "almost" a homomorphism. If G admits a nontrivial pseudocharacter f, we define the space of ends of G relative to f and show that if the space of ends is complicated enough,…

Let G be a semisimple group over an algebraically closed field of very good characteristic for G. In the context of geometric invariant theory, G. Kempf has associated optimal cocharacters of G to an unstable vector in a linear…

Let $f:M\to \mathbb{R}$ be a Morse function on a smooth closed surface, $V$ be a connected component of some critical level of $f$, and $\mathcal{E}_V$ be its atom. Let also $\mathcal{S}(f)$ be a stabilizer of the function $f$ under the…

In this paper, we discuss subgroups of the automorphism group of the polynomial ring in n variables over a field of characteristic zero. An automorphism F is said to be co-tame if the subgroup generated by F and affine automorphisms…

Let $\mathcal A$ and $\mathcal B$ be two (complex) algebras. A linear map $\phi:{\mathcal A}\to{\mathcal B}$ is called $n$-homomorphism if $\phi(a_{1}... a_{n})=\phi(a_{1})...\phi(a_{n})$ for each $a_{1},...,a_{n}\in{\mathcal A}.$ In this…

We show that every abstract homomorphism $\varphi$ from a locally compact group $L$ to a graph product $G_\Gamma$, endowed with the discrete topology, is either continuous or $\varphi(L)$ lies in a 'small' parabolic subgroup. In particular,…

Structural stability of holomorphic functions has been the subject of much research in the last fifty years. Due to various technicalities, however, most of that work has focused on so-called finite-type functions (functions whose set of…
