We show that if $\Phi: X \dashrightarrow X$ is a dominant rational self-map of a projective surface $X$ over $\mathbb{C}$ with a regular and non-invertible iterate $\Phi^n$, then we can take $n \leq 12$. This bound is sharp and realized on…

If $X$ is an orientable, strongly minimal $PD_4$-complex and $\pi_1(X)$ has one end then it has no nontrivial locally-finite normal subgroup. Hence if $\pi$ is a 2-knot group then (a) if $\pi$ is virtually solvable then either $\pi$ has two…

Let $G$ be a semiabelian variety defined over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic $0$. Let $\Phi\colon G\dashrightarrow G$ be a dominant rational self-map. Assume that an iterate $\Phi^m \colon G \to G$ is regular for some…

For a finite group $G$, the prime graph $\Gamma(G)$ (also known as Gruenberg-Kegel graph) is defined to be the graph where the vertices are the primes that divide $|G|$ such that two vertices $p$ and $q$ share an edge if and only if there…

A graph is one-regular if its automorphism group acts regularly on the set of its arcs. In this paper, $4$-valent one-regular graphs of order $5p^2$, where $p$ is a prime, are classified

Let $G$ and $H$ be two simple graphs. A bijection $\phi:V(G)\rightarrow V(H)$ is called an isomorphism between $G$ and $H$ if $(\phi v_i)(\phi v_j)\in E(H)$ $\Leftrightarrow$ $v_i v_j\in E(G)$, $\forall v_i,v_j \in V(G)$. In the case that…

Let $X, Y$ be smooth algebraic varieties of the same dimension. Let $f, g : X \to Y$ be finite polynomial mappings. We say that $f, g$ are equivalent if there exists a regular automorphism $\Phi \in Aut(X)$ such that $f = g\circ \Phi$. Of…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and $\pi$ be a set of primes. The $\pi$-core $\mathbf{O}_\pi(G)$ is the unique maximal normal $\pi$-subgroup of $G$, and $b(G)$ is the largest irreducible character degree of $G$. In 2017, Qian and Yang proved…

A harmonic mapping $f=h+\overline{g}$ in $\mathbb{D}$ is $\varphi$-normal if $f^{\#}(z)=\mathcal{O}(|\varphi(z)|), \text{ as } |z|\to 1^-,$ where $f^{\#}(z)={(|h'(z)|+|g'(z)|)}/{(1+|f(z)|^2)}.$ In this paper, we establish several sufficient…

Among all equivelar vertex-transitive maps on a given closed surface S, the automorphism groups of maps with Schl\"afli types {3, 7} and {7, 3} allow the highest possible order. We describe a procedure to transform all such maps into 1- or…

We show that a closed orientable 3--dimensional manifold admits a round fold map into the plane, i.e. a fold map whose critical value set consists of disjoint simple closed curves isotopic to concentric circles, if and only if it is a graph…

Let Ng be the connected closed nonorientable surface of genus g >= 5 and Mod(Ng) denote the mapping class group of Ng. We prove that the outer automorphism group of Mod(Ng) is either trivial or Z if g is odd, and injects into the mapping…

An automorphism $\alpha$ of a group $G$ is normal if it fixes every normal subgroup of $G$ setwise. We give an algebraic description of normal automorphisms of relatively hyperbolic groups. In particular, we prove that for any relatively…

We classify compact Riemann surfaces of genus $g$, where $g-1$ is a prime $p$, which have a group of automorphisms of order $\rho(g-1)$ for some integer $\rho\ge 1$, and determine isogeny decompositions of the corresponding Jacobian…

In this article we provide a classification and description of compact Riemann surfaces admitting a triangular action of a group of order $2p^2,$ where $p$ is an odd prime number. We obtain that all such Riemann surfaces are isomorphic to…

A linear map $\Phi$ between matrix spaces is called cross-positive if it is positive on orthogonal pairs $(U,V)$ of positive semidefinite matrices in the sense that $\langle U,V\rangle:=\text{Tr}(UV)=0$ implies $\langle…

We consider the `unstable Boardman map' (homomorphism if $k>0$) $$b:\pi^{m+k}\Sigma^k\Omega^lS^{n+l}\simeq[\Omega^lS^{n+l},\Omega^kS^{m+k}]\longrightarrow \mathrm{Hom}(H_*\Omega^lS^{n+l},H_*\Omega^kS^{m+k})$$ defined by $h(f)=f_*$. We work…

A graph $X$ is said to be "unstable" if the direct product $X \times K_2$ (also called the canonical double cover of $X$) has automorphisms that do not come from automorphisms of its factors $X$ and $K_2$. It is "nontrivially unstable" if…

A graph $\Ga=(V,E)$ is called a Cayley graph of some group $T$ if the automorphism group $\Aut(\Ga)$ contains a subgroup $T$ which acts on regularly on $V$. If the subgroup $T$ is normal in $\Aut(\Ga)$ then $\Ga$ is called a normal Cayley…

It was proved in [Y.-Q. Feng, C. H. Li and J.-X. Zhou, Symmetric cubic graphs with solvable automorphism groups, {\em European J. Combin.} {\bf 45} (2015), 1-11] that a cubic symmetric graph with a solvable automorphism group is either a…
