Teichmüllerraum für total degenerierte Kurven.
We present a computer-assisted analysis of combinatorial properties of the Cayley graphs of certain finitely generated groups: given a group with a finite set of generators, we study the density of the corresponding Cayley graph, that is, the least upper bound for the average vertex degree (= number of adjacent edges) of any finite subgraph. It is known that an -generated group is amenable if and only if the density of the corresponding Cayley graph equals to . We test amenable and non-amenable...
Let s be a positive integer. A graph is s-transitive if its automorphism group is transitive on s-arcs but not on (s + 1)-arcs. Let p be a prime. In this article a complete classification of tetravalent s-transitive graphs of order 3p2 is given
We classify tetravalent -half-arc-transitive graphs of order , where and , are distinct odd primes. This result involves a subclass of tetravalent half-arc-transitive graphs of cube-free order.
We study properties of Steiner loops which are of fundamental importance to develop a combinatorial theory of loops along the lines given by Combinatorial Group Theory. In a summary we describe our findings.
A digraph is associated with a finite group by utilizing the power map defined by for all , where is a fixed natural number. It is denoted by . In this paper, the generalized quaternion and -groups are studied. The height structure is discussed for the generalized quaternion. The necessary and sufficient conditions on a power digraph of a -group are determined for a -group to be a generalized quaternion group. Further, the classification of two generated -groups as abelian or non-abelian...
This paper uses combinatorial group theory to help answer some long-standing questions about the genera of orientable surfaces that carry particular kinds of regular maps. By classifying all orientably-regular maps whose automorphism group has order coprime to , where is the genus, all orientably-regular maps of genus for prime are determined. As a consequence, it is shown that orientable surfaces of infinitely many genera carry no regular map that is chiral (irreflexible), and that orientable...
