Sormani and Wei proved in 2004 that a compact geodesic space has a categorical universal cover if and only if its covering/critical spectrum is finite. We add to this several equivalent conditions pertaining to the geometry and topology of…

We study equicontinuous actions of semisimple groups and some generalizations. We prove that any such action is universally closed, and in particular proper. We derive various applications, both old and new, including closedness of…

The regular objects in various categories, such as maps, hypermaps or covering spaces, can be identified with the normal subgroups N of a given group \Gamma, with quotient group isomorphic to \Gamma/N. It is shown how to enumerate such…

We use assembly maps to study $\mathbf{TC}(\mathbb{A}[G];p)$, the topological cyclic homology at a prime $p$ of the group algebra of a discrete group $G$ with coefficients in a connective ring spectrum $\mathbb{A}$. For any finite group, we…

With the help of the theory of holomorphic and anti-holomorphic differentials, G. A. Jones [Chiral covers of hypermaps, Ars Math. Contemp. 8 (2015), 425-431] proved that every regular hypermap of a non-spherical type is covered by an…

In this paper, we apply Conley index theory in a covering space of an invariant set $S$, possibly not isolated, in order to describe the dynamics in $S$. More specifically, we consider the action of the covering translation group in order…

We generalize the notion of the toggle group, as defined in [P. Cameron-D. Fon-der-Flaass '95] and further explored in [J. Striker-N. Williams '12], from the set of order ideals of a poset to any family of subsets of a finite set. We prove…

We present an exposition of contractive spaces and of relatively contractive maps. Contractive spaces are the natural opposite of measure-preserving actions and relatively contractive maps the natural opposite of relatively…

This paper introduces the notion of a universal plan, which when executed, is guaranteed to solve all planning problems in a category, regardless of the obstacles, initial state, and goal set. Such plans are specified as a deterministic…

This article deals with dihedral group actions on compact Riemann surfaces and the interplay between different geometric data associated to them. First, a bijective correspondence between geometric signatures and analytic representations is…

We study the so-called dynamic coverage problem by agents located in some topological graph. The agents must visit all regions of interest but they also should stay connected to the base via multi-hop. We prove that the algorithmic…

A Hom-group is the non-associative generalization of a group, whose associativity and unitality are twisted by a compatible bijective map. In this paper, we give some new examples of Hom-groups, and show the first and the second isomorphism…

Berestovskii and Plaut introduced the concept of a coverable uniform space when developing their theory of generalized universal covering maps for uniform spaces. Brodskiy, Dydak, LaBuz, and Mitra introduced the concept of a locally…

We study straight-line drawings of planar graphs with prescribed face areas. A plane graph is 'area-universal' if for every area assignment on the inner faces, there exists a straight-line drawing realizing the prescribed areas. For…

A map on a surface whose automorphism group has a subgroup acting regularly on its vertices is called a Cayley map. Here we generalize that notion to maniplexes and polytopes. We define $\mathcal{M}$ to be a \emph{Cayley extension} of…

We generalize the notion of isoperimetric profiles of finitely generated groups to their actions by measuring the boundary of finite subgraphings of the orbit graphing. We prove that like the classical isoperimetric profiles for groups,…

Connections between heaps of modules and (affine) modules over rings are explored. This leads to explicit, often constructive, descriptions of some categorical constructions and properties that are implicit in universal algebra and…

Let F be a field, G a finite group, and Map(G,F) the Hopf algebra of all set-theoretic maps G->F. If E is a finite field extension of F and G is its Galois group, the extension is Galois if and only if the canonical map resulting from…

An oriented hypergraph is an oriented incidence structure that allows for the generalization of graph theoretic concepts to integer matrices through its locally signed graphic substructure. The locally graphic behaviors are formalized in…

In this article, we introduce the concept of partial actions of a group $G$ on quivers and demonstrate that for any given partial action of G on a quiver $\Gamma$, there exists another quiver, $\Gamma'$ with a full $G$-action. This is an…
