A maximal minor $M$ of the Laplacian of an $n$-vertex Eulerian digraph $\Gamma$ gives rise to a finite group $\mathbb{Z}^{n-1}/\mathbb{Z}^{n-1}M$ known as the sandpile (or critical) group $S(\Gamma)$ of $\Gamma$. We determine $S(\Gamma)$ of…

Let $G$ be a finite, connected, simple graph. The critical group $K(G)$, also known as the sandpile group, is the torsion subgroup of the cokernel of the graph Laplacian $\operatorname{cok}(L)$. We investigate a family of graphs with…

It is shown that a flat subgroup, $H$, of the totally disconnected, locally compact group $G$ decomposes into a finite number of subsemigroups on which the scale function is multiplicative. The image, $P$, of a multiplicative semigroup in…

In this article, we give a partial description of the sandpile group of the cone of the cartesian product of graphs in function of the sandpile group of the cone of their factors. Also, we introduce the concept of uniform homomorphism of…

The \textbf{Co-Prime Order Graph} $\Theta (G)$ of a given finite group is a simple undirected graph whose vertex set is the group $G$ itself, and any two vertexes x,y in $\Theta (G)$ are adjacent if and only if $gcd(o(x),o(y))=1$ or prime.…

If X is a CW complex, one can assign to each point of X an ordered abelian group of finite rank whose subset of positive elements depends continuously on the points of X. A locally trivial bundle which arises in this way we denote by E(X).…

We canonically identify the groups of isometries and dilations of local fields and their rings of integers with subgroups of the automorphism group of the $(d+1)$-regular tree $\widetilde T_{d+1}$, where $d$ is the residual degree. Then we…

Let S be a closed oriented surface of genus g > 1, and let T denote its Torelli group. First, given a set E of homotopically nontrivial, pairwise disjoint, pairwise nonisotopic simple closed curves on S, we determine precisely when a…

In this paper we describe a classifying theory for families of simplicial topological groups. If $B$ is a topological space and $G$ is a simplicial topological group, then we can consider the non-abelian cohomology $H(B,G)$ of $B$ with…

We introduce a group naturally acting on aperiodic necklaces of length $n$ with two colours using the 1--1 correspondences between aperiodic necklaces and irreducible polynomials over the field $\F_2$ of two elements. We notice that this…

We compute the sandpile groups of families of planar graphs having a common weak dual by evaluating the indeterminates of the critical ideals of the weak dual at the lengths of the cycles bounding the interior faces. This method allow us to…

We study the distribution of the sandpile group of random d-regular graphs. For the directed model, we prove that it follows the Cohen-Lenstra heuristics, that is, the limiting probability that the $p$-Sylow subgroup of the sandpile group…

For a finite connected graph $G$ and a non-empty subset $S$ of its vertices thought of sinks, the so-called critical group (or sandpile group) $C(G, S)$ has been studied for a long time. We present a class of graphs where such an extension…
