This paper aims to generalize Artin's ideas to establish an one-to-one correspondence between the orbit braid group $B^{orb}_n(\mathbb{C},\mathbb{Z}_p)$ and a quotient of a group formed by some particular homeomorphisms of a punctured…

Let $G$ be a group. The orbits of the natural action of $\mbox{Aut}(G)$ on $G$ are called "automorphism orbits" of $G$, and the number of automorphism orbits of $G$ is denoted by $\omega(G)$. In this paper the finite nonsolvable groups $G$…

We investigate global continuation of periodic orbits of a differential equation depending on a parameter, assuming that a closed 1-form satisfying certain properties exists. We begin by extending the global continuation theory of…

We introduce the notion of orbit equivalence of directed graphs, following Matsumoto's notion of continuous orbit equivalence for topological Markov shifts. We show that two graphs in which every cycle has an exit are orbit equivalent if…

Let $G$ be a group of permutations of a denumerable set $E$. The profile of $G$ is the function $\phi_G$ which counts, for each $n$, the (possibly infinite) number $\phi_G(n)$ of orbits of $G$ acting on the $n$-subsets of $E$. Counting…

We study the orbits of the solutions to the Markoff-type equation $$X^2 + Y^2 + Z^2 = XYZ +AX + BY + CZ + D$$ in $\mathbb{F}_p$ for fixed integers $A, B, C,$ and $D$ under the group of symmetries $\Gamma$ generated by \[\begin{split}&V_1:…

We prove that two reflection factorizations of a parabolic quasi-Coxeter element in a finite Coxeter group belong to the same Hurwitz orbit if and only if they generate the same subgroup and have the same multiset of conjugacy classes. As a…

The central extension of the mapping class groups of punctured surfaces of finite type that arises in quantum Teichm\"uller theory is 12 times the Meyer class plus the Euler classes of the punctures. This is analogous to the result obtained…

Let $M$ be a four-holed sphere and $\Gamma$ the mapping class group of $M$ fixing the boundary $\partial M$. The group $\Gamma$ acts on $M_B(SL(2,C)) = Hom_B^+(pi_1(M),SL(2,C))/SL(2,C)$ which is the space of completely reducible…

For some $g \geq 3$, let $\Gamma$ be a finite index subgroup of the mapping class group of a genus $g$ surface (possibly with boundary components and punctures). An old conjecture of Ivanov says that the abelianization of $\Gamma$ should be…

Let $S$ be a connected non-orientable surface with negative Euler characteristic and of finite type. We describe the possible closures in $\mathcal M\mathcal L$ and $\mathcal P\mathcal M\mathcal L$ of the mapping class group orbits of…

Building on the work of Cassels we prove the existence of infinite families of compact orbits of the diagonal group in the space of lattices which accumulate only on the divergent orbit of the standard lattice. As a consequence, we prove…

We identify seven new $192$-periodic infinite families of elements in the $2$-primary stable homotopy groups of spheres. Although their Hurewicz image is trivial for topological modular forms, they remain nontrivial after $\mathrm{T}(2)$-…

Few years ago Zamolodchikov and Zamolodchikov proposed an expression for the 4-point classical Liouville action in terms of the 3-point actions and the classical conformal block. In this paper we develop a method of calculating the…

Let $S_{g,n}$ be an oriented surface of genus $g$ with $n$ punctures, where $2g-2+n>0$ and $n>0$. Any ideal triangulation of $S_{g,n}$ induces a global parametrization of the Teichm\"uller space $\mathcal{T}_{g,n}$ called the shearing…

In the present paper, we show that many combinatorial and topological objects, such as maps, hypermaps, three-dimensional pavings, constellations and branched coverings of the two--sphere admit any given finite automorphism group. This…

In this series of two articles, we prove that every action of a finite group $G$ on a finite and contractible $2$-complex has a fixed point. The proof goes by constructing a nontrivial representation of the fundamental group of each of the…

The purpose of this short note is to prove a formula for the Chern-Mather classes of a toric variety in terms of its orbits and the local Euler obstructions at general points of each orbit (Theorem 2). We use the general definition of the…

The aim of this small note is to prove an elementary yet useful properties of finitely presented groups. Let G be a finitely generated group with one end. Fix a (finite) generating set and let $B_n$ be the ball of radius $n$ around $e$. Let…

A notion of degeneration of elements in groups is introduced. It is used to parametrize the orbits in a finite abelian group under its full automorphism group by a finite distributive lattice. A pictorial description of this lattice leads…
