چکیده

For an arbitrary graph G = (V,E), let X be a graphical property that can be possessed, or satisfied by the subsets of V . For example, being a clique (maximal complete subgraph), a maximal independent set, an edge, a closed neighborhood, a minimal dominating set, etc. Let CX ={A|A ⊆ V , |A| > 1, and A possesses or satisfies property X}. A set S is an X cover (or X free) if A ∩ S (or A ∩ (V − S)) is not empty for every A ∈ CX . Further, S is an X free cover when S is both X free and an X cover. Many vertex-partitioning problems can be viewed as that of finding an X free cover. In this paper, we present properties of X free covers and investigate the conditions for their existence in some special cases. This provides an underlying unification theory for these and other similar properties.

ON QUASI UNIVERSAL COVERS FOR GROUPS ACTING ON TREES WITH INVERSIONS

Abstract. In this paper we show that if G is a group acting on a tree X with inversions and if (T Y ) is a fundamental domain for the action of G on X, then there exist a group &tildeG and a tree &tildeX induced by (T Y ) such that &tildeG acts on &tildeX with inversions, G is isomorphic to &tilde G, and X is isomorphic to &tildeX. The pair (&tilde G &tildeX) is called the quasi universal cover...

Homological Finiteness of Abelian Covers

We present a method for deciding when a regular abelian cover of a finite CWcomplex has finite Betti numbers. To start with, we describe a natural parameter space for all regular covers of a finite CW-complex X, with group of deck transformations a fixed abelian group A, which in the case of free abelian covers of rank r coincides with the Grassmanian of r-planes in H1(X,Q). Inside this paramet...

Base-point-free Pencils on Triple Covers of Smooth Curves

Let X be a smooth algebraic curve. Suppose that there exists a triple covering f : X → Y where Y is a smooth algebraic curve. In this paper, we investigate the existence of morphisms from X to the projective line P which do not factor through the covering f . For this purpose, we generalize the classical results of Maroni concerning base-point-free pencils on trigonal curves to the case of trip...

About Free Lattices and Free Modular Lattices

Ralph Freese Department of Mathematics University of Hawaii at Manoa Honolulu, Hawaii 96822 In this paper we look at some of the problems on free lattices and free modular lattices which are of an order theoretic nature. We review some of the known results, give same new results, and present several open problems. Every countable partially ordered set can be order embedded into a countable free...

Geometric and Homological Finiteness in Free Abelian Covers

We describe some of the connections between the Bieri–Neumann– Strebel–Renz invariants, the Dwyer–Fried invariants, and the cohomology support loci of a space X. Under suitable hypotheses, the geometric and homological finiteness properties of regular, free abelian covers of X can be expressed in terms of the resonance varieties, extracted from the cohomology ring of X. In general, though, tran...
