Suppose for closed surfaces $M,N$ there exists a continuous map $f:M\to N$ of geometric degree $d>0$. Then $\chi(M)\le d\cdot\chi(N)$. This inequality was first proved by Kneser in case of orientable surfaces and by Edmonds for arbitrary…

Let X be a minimal complex surface of general type such that its image via the canonical map is a surface; we denote by d the degree of the canonical map. In this expository work, first of all we recall the known possibilities for the…

This work focuses on the degree bound of maps between balls with maximum geometric rank and minimum target dimension where this geometric rank occurs. Specifically, we show that rational proper maps between $\mathbb{B}_n$ and $\mathbb{B}_N$…

It was shown by A. Beauville that if the canonical map $\varphi_{|K_M|}$ of a complex smooth projective surface $M$ is generically finite, then ${\rm deg}(\varphi_{|K_M|})\leq 36$. The first example of a surface with canonical degree 36 was…

For given closed orientable 3-manifolds $M$ and $N$ let $\c{D}(M,N)$ be the set of mapping degrees from $M$ to $N$. We address the problem: For which $N$, $\c{D}(M,N)$ is finite for all $M$? The answer is known in Thurston's picture of…

In this paper, it is shown that every orientable closed 3-manifold maps with nonzero degree onto at most finitely many homeomorphically distinct irreducible non-geometric orientable closed 3-manifolds. Moreover, given any nonzero integer,…

The motivation for this paper is to justify a remark of Thurston that the algebraic degree of stretch factors of pseudo-Anosov maps on a surface $S$ can be as high as the dimension of the Teichm\"uller space of $S$. In addition to proving…

We say a graph is $(d, d, \ldots, d, 0, \ldots, 0)$-colorable with $a$ of $d$'s and $b$ of $0$'s if $V(G)$ may be partitioned into $b$ independent sets $O_1,O_2,\ldots,O_b$ and $a$ sets $D_1, D_2,\ldots, D_a$ whose induced graphs have…

Every closed oriented manifold $M$ is associated with a set of integers $D(M)$, the set of self-mapping degrees of $M$. In this paper we investigate whether a product $M\times N$ admits a self-map of degree $d$, when neither $D(M)$ nor…

In this note it is shown that, given a smooth minimal complex surface of general type S with p_g(S)=0, K^2_S=3, for which the bicanonical map is a morphism, then the degree of the bicanonical map of S is not equal to 3. This completes our…

We give a characterization of the strong degrees of categoricity of computable structures greater or equal to $\mathbf 0''$. They are precisely the \emph{treeable} degrees -- the least degrees of paths through computable trees -- that…

Given two closed oriented manifolds $M,N$ of the same dimension, we denote the set of degrees of maps from $M$ to $N$ by $D(M,N)$. The set $D(M,N)$ always contains zero. We show the following (non-)realisability results: (i) There exists an…

We study the degree of an $L$-Lipschitz map between Riemannian manifolds, proving new upper bounds and constructing new examples. For instance, if $X_k$ is the connected sum of $k$ copies of $\mathbb CP^2$ for $k \ge 4$, then we prove that…

Consider the family of all finite graphs with maximum degree $\Delta(G)<d$ and matching number $\nu(G)<m$. In this paper we give a new proof to obtain the exact upper bound for the number of edges in such graphs and also characterize all…

We give a description of degree-one maps between closed, oriented 3-manifolds in terms of surgery. Namely, we show that there is a degree-one map from a closed, oriented 3-manifold $M$ to a closed, oriented 3-manifold $N$ if and only if $M$…

Let M and N be two closed (not necessarily orientable) surfaces, and f a continuous map from M to N. By definition, the minimal multiplicity MMR[f] of the map f denotes the minimal integer k having the following property: f can be deformed…

Let f(n,m) be the maximum of the sum of the squares of degrees of a graph with n vertices and m edges. Summarizing earlier research, we present a concise, asymptotically sharp upper bound on f(n,m), better than the bound of de Caen for…

We study the degree landscape of the partition graph $G_n$, whose vertices are the integer partitions of $n$ and whose edges correspond to elementary transfers of one unit between parts, followed by reordering. Using the previously…

We explicitly construct pseudo-Anosov maps on the closed surface of genus $g$ with orientable foliations whose stretch factor $\lambda$ is a Salem number with algebraic degree $2g$. Using this result, we show that there is a pseudo-Anosov…

We prove a general multi-dimensional central limit theorem for the expected number of vertices of a given degree in the family of planar maps whose vertex degrees are restricted to an arbitrary (finite or infinite) set of positive integers…
