On chirality groups and regular coverings of regular oriented hypermaps

Antonio Breda d'Azevedo, Ilda Inácio Rodrigues, Maria Elisa Fernandes (2011)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We prove that if the Walsh bipartite map = 𝒲 ( ) of a regular oriented hypermap is also orientably regular then both and have the same chirality group, the covering core of (the smallest regular map covering ) is the Walsh bipartite map of the covering core of and the closure cover of (the greatest regular map covered by ) is the Walsh bipartite map of the closure cover of . We apply these results to the family of toroidal chiral hypermaps ( 3 , 3 , 3 ) b , c = 𝒲 - 1 { 6 , 3 } b , c induced by the family of toroidal bipartite maps...

On irreducible, infinite, nonaffine Coxeter groups

Dongwen Qi (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The following results are proved: The center of any finite index subgroup of an irreducible, infinite, nonaffine Coxeter group is trivial; Any finite index subgroup of an irreducible, infinite, nonaffine Coxeter group cannot be expressed as a product of two nontrivial subgroups. These two theorems imply a unique decomposition theorem for a class of Coxeter groups. We also prove that the orbit of each element other than the identity under the conjugation action in an irreducible, infinite, nonaffine...

On the Cantor-Bendixson rank of metabelian groups

Yves Cornulier (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study the Cantor-Bendixson rank of metabelian and virtually metabelian groups in the space of marked groups, and in particular, we exhibit a sequence ( G n ) of 2-generated, finitely presented, virtually metabelian groups of Cantor-Bendixson rank  ω n .

On the simple connectivity at infinity of groups

Daniele Ettore Otera (2003)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

We study the simple connectivity at infinity of groups of finite presentation, and we give a geometric proof of its invariance under quasi-isometry in a special case.

Optics in Croke-Kleiner Spaces

Fredric D. Ancel, Julia M. Wilson (2010)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

We explore the interior geometry of the CAT(0) spaces X α : 0 < α π / 2 , constructed by Croke and Kleiner [Topology 39 (2000)]. In particular, we describe a diffraction effect experienced by the family of geodesic rays that emanate from a basepoint and pass through a certain singular point called a triple point, and we describe the shadow this family casts on the boundary. This diffraction effect is codified in the Transformation Rules stated in Section 3 of this paper. The Transformation Rules have various applications....
