We obtain a simple presentation of the hyperelliptic mapping class group $M^h(N)$ of a nonorientable surface N. As an application we compute the first homology group of $M^h(N)$ with coefficients in $H_1(N;Z)$.

Self-similar groups provide a rich source of groups with interesting properties; e.g., infinite torsion groups (Burnside groups) and groups with an intermediate word growth. Various self-similar groups can be described by a recursive…

Let $\G$ be a limit group, $S\subset\G$ a subgroup, and $N$ the normaliser of $S$. If $H_1(S,\mathbb Q)$ has finite $\Q$-dimension, then $S$ is finitely generated and either $N/S$ is finite or $N$ is abelian. This result has applications to…

Using totally symmetric sets, Chudnovsky, Kordek, Li, and Partin gave a superexponential lower bound on the cardinality of non-abelian finite quotients of the braid group. In this paper, we develop new techniques using multiple totally…

Given a knot or link in the handlebody, $H_g$, of genus $g$ we prove that it can always be represented as the plat closure of a braid in $H_g$. We further establish the Hilden braid group for the handlebody, as a subgroup of the mixed braid…

We develop the theory of $H$-graded manifolds for any finitely generated abelian group, using tools from representation theory. Furthermore, we introduce and investigate the notion of $H$-graded coverings of supermanifolds in the case where…
