Strong surjectivity of maps from 2-complexes into the 2-sphere

Marcio Fenille, Oziride Neto (2010)

Open Mathematics

Given a model 2-complex K P of a group presentation P, we associate to it an integer matrix ΔP and we prove that a cellular map f: K P → S 2 is root free (is not strongly surjective) if and only if the diophantine linear system ΔP Y = d e g (f) has an integer solution, here d e g (f)is the so-called vector-degree of f

Systolic groups acting on complexes with no flats are word-hyperbolic

Piotr Przytycki (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We prove that if a group acts properly and cocompactly on a systolic complex, in whose 1-skeleton there is no isometrically embedded copy of the 1-skeleton of an equilaterally triangulated Euclidean plane, then the group is word-hyperbolic. This was conjectured by D. T. Wise.
