Abstract. In this paper, we find all admissible topological conjugacy classes of periodic transformations of a two-dimensional surface of genus two. It is proved that there are exactly seventeen pairwise topologically non-conjugate orientation-preserving periodic pretzel transformations. The implementation of all classes by lifting the full characteristics of mappings from a modular surface to a surface of genus two is also presented. The classification results are based on Nielsen’s theory of periodic surface transformations, according to which the topological conjugacy class of any such homeomorphism is completely determined by its characteristic. The complete characteristic carries information about the genus of the modular surface, the ramified bearing surface, the periods of the ramification points and the turns around them. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the admissibility of the complete characteristic are described by Nielsen and for any surface they give a finite number of admissible collections. For surfaces of a small genus, one can compile a complete list of admissible characteristics, which was done by the authors of the work for a surface of genus 2.

Abstract. This paper contains a complete classification of algebraic non-hyperbolic automorphisms of a two-dimensional torus, announced by S. Batterson in 1979. Such automorphisms include all periodic automorphisms. Their classification is directly related to the topological classification of gradient-like diffeomorphisms of surfaces, since according to the results of V. Z. Grines and A.N. Bezdenezhykh, any gradient like orientation-preserving diffeomorphism of an orientable surface is represented as a superposition of the time-1 map of a gradient-like flow and some periodic homeomorphism. J. Nielsen found necessary and sufficient conditions for the topological conjugacy of orientation-preserving periodic homeomorphisms of orientable surfaces by means of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms. The results of this work allow us to completely solve the problem of realization all classes of topological conjugacy of periodic maps that are not homotopic to the identity in the case of a torus. Particularly, it follows from the present paper and the work of that if the surface is a two-dimensional torus, then there are exactly seven such classes, each of which is represented by algebraic automorphism of a two-dimensional torus induced by some periodic matrix.

The present paper gives a partial answer to Smale’s question which diagrams can correspond to $(A,B)$-diffeomorphisms. Model diffeomorphisms of the two-dimensional torus derived by “Smale surgery” are considered, and necessary and sufficient conditions for their topological conjugacy are found. Also, a class $G$ of $(A,B)$-diffeomorphisms on surfaces which are the connected sum of the model diffeomorphisms is introduced. Diffeomorphisms of the class $G$ realize any connected Hasse diagrams (abstract Smale graph). Examples of diffeomorphisms from $G$ with isomorphic labeled Smale diagrams which are not ambiently $\Omega$-conjugated are constructed. Moreover, a subset $G_{*}\subset G$ of diffeomorphisms for which the isomorphism class of labeled Smale diagrams is a complete invariant of the ambient $\Omega$-conjugacy is singled out.

Abstract This work is concerned with Bielawski’s hyperkähler slices in the cotangent bundles of homogeneous affine varieties. One can associate such a slice with the data of a complex semisimple Lie group  $G$ , a reductive subgroup $H\subseteq G$ , and a Slodowy slice $S\subseteq \mathfrak{g}:=\text{Lie}(G)$ , defining it to be the hyperkähler quotient of $T^{\ast }(G/H)\times (G\times S)$ by a maximal compact subgroup of  $G$ . This hyperkähler slice is empty in some of the most elementary cases (e.g., when $S$ is regular and $(G,H)=(\text{SL}_{n+1},\text{GL}_{n})$ , $n\geqslant 3$ ), prompting us to seek necessary and sufficient conditions for non-emptiness. We give a spherical-geometric characterization of the non-empty hyperkähler slices that arise when $S=S_{\text{reg}}$ is a regular Slodowy slice, proving that non-emptiness is equivalent to the so-called $\mathfrak{a}$ -regularity of $(G,H)$ . This $\mathfrak{a}$ -regularity condition is formulated in several equivalent ways, one being a concrete condition on the rank and complexity of $G/H$ . We also provide a classification of the $\mathfrak{a}$ -regular pairs $(G,H)$ in which $H$ is a reductive spherical subgroup. Our arguments make essential use of Knop’s results on moment map images and Losev’s algorithm for computing Cartan spaces.

Systems possessing symmetries often admit robust heteroclinic cycles that persist under perturbations that respect the symmetry. In previous work, we began a systematic investigation into the asymptotic stability of such cycles. In particular, we found a sufficient condition for asymptotic stability, and we gave algebraic criteria for deciding when this condition is also necessary. These criteria are satisfied for cycles in R3.Field and Swift, and Hofbauer, considered examples in R4 for which our sufficient condition for stability is not optimal. They obtained necessary and sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability using a transition-matrix technique.In this paper, we combine our previous methods with the transition-matrix technique and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability for a larger class of heteroclinic cycles. In particular, we obtain a complete theory for ‘simple’ heteroclinic cycles in R4 (thereby proving and extending results for homoclinic cycles that were stated without proof by Chossat, Krupa, Melbourne and Scheel). A partial classification of simple heteroclinic cycles in R4 is also given. Finally, our stability results generalize naturally to higher dimensions and many of the higher-dimensional examples in the literature are covered by this theory.

In 1978 J. Palis invented continuum topologically non-conjugate systems in a neighbourhood of a system with a heteroclinic contact; in other words, he invented so-called moduli. W. de Melo and С. van Strien in 1987 described a diffeomorphism class with a finite number of moduli. They discovered that a chain of saddles taking part in the heteroclinic contact of such diffeomorphism includes not more than three saddles. Surprisingly, such effect does not happen in flows. Here we consider gradient flows of the height function for an orientable surface of genus g>0. Such flows have a chain of 2g saddles. We found that the number of moduli for such flows is 2g−1 which is the straight consequence of the sufficient topological conjugacy conditions for such systems given in our paper. A complete topological equivalence invariant for such systems is four-colour graph carrying the information about its cells relative position. Equipping the graph's edges with the analytical parameters --- moduli, connected with the saddle connections, gives the sufficient conditions of the flows topological conjugacy.

AbstractFor any variety of groups, the relative inner rank of a given groupG is defined to be the maximal rank of the -free homomorphic images of G. In this paper we explore metabelian inner ranks of certain one-relator groups. Using the well-known Quillen-Suslin Theorem, in conjunction with an elegant result of Artamonov, we prove that if r is any "Δ-modular" element of the free metabelian group Mn of rank n > 2 then the metabelian inner rank of the quotient group Mn/(r) is at most [n/2]. As a corollary we deduce that the metabelian inner rank of the (orientable) surface group of genus k is precisely k. This extends the corresponding result of Zieschang about the absolute inner ranks of these surface groups. In continuation of some further applications of the Quillen-Suslin Theorem we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a system g = (g1,..., gk) of k elements of a free metabelian group Mn, k ≤ n, to be a part of a basis of Mn. This extends results of Bachmuth and Timoshenko who considered the cases k = n and k < n — 3 respectively.

A matrix is a Q0-matrix if for every k∈{1,2,…,n}, the sum of all k×k principal minors is nonnegative. In this paper, we study some necessary and sufficient conditions for a digraph to have Q0-completion. Later on we discuss the relationship between Q and Q0-matrix completion problem. Finally, a classification of the digraphs of order up to four is done based on Q0-completion.

In this paper, we establish the asynchronous computability theorem in d-solo system by borrowing concepts from combinatorial topology, in which we state a necessary and sufficient conditions for a task to be wait-free computable in that system. Intuitively, a d-solo system allows as many d processes to access it as if each were running solo, namely, without detecting communication from any peer. As an application, we completely characterize the solvability of the input-less tasks in such systems. This characterization also leads to a hardness classification of these tasks according to whether their output complexes hold a d-nest structure. As a byproduct, we find an alternative way to distinguish the computational power of d-solo objects for different d.
