چکیده
a Supported in part by \Ministrstvo za znanost in tehnologijo Slovenije", proj.no. Abstract The problem of lifting automorphisms of a (fairly arbitrary) topological space to automorphisms of a covering space is studied by means of voltage groups. To this end we introduce some required background results regarding group actions and covering spaces.

ALGEBRAS WITH CYCLE-FINITE STRONGLY SIMPLY CONNECTED GALOIS COVERINGS
Let $A$ be a nite dimensional $k-$algebra and $R$ be a locally bounded category such that $R rightarrow R/G = A$ is a Galois covering dened by the action of a torsion-free group of automorphisms of $R$. Following [30], we provide criteria on the convex subcategories of a strongly simply connected category R in order to be a cycle- nite category and describe the module category of $A$. We p...
متن کاملSome combinatorial aspects of finite Hamiltonian groups
In this paper we provide explicit formulas for the number of elements/subgroups/cyclic subgroups of a given order and for the total number of subgroups/cyclic subgroups in a finite Hamiltonian group. The coverings with three proper subgroups and the principal series of such a group are also counted. Finally, we give a complete description of the lattice of characteristic subgroups of a finite H...
متن کاملCoverings of Graphs and Maps, Orthogonality, and Eigenvectors
Lifts of graph and map automorphisms can be described in terms of voltage assignments that are, in a sense, compatible with the automorphisms. We show that compatibility of ordinary voltage assignments in Abelian groups is related to orthogonality in certain Z-modules. For cyclic groups, compatibility turns out to be equivalent with the existence of eigenvectors of certain matrices that are nat...
متن کاملLinear criteria for lifting automorphisms of elementary abelian regular coverings
For a given finite connected graph , a group H of automorphisms of and a finite group A, a natural question can be raised as follows: Find all the connected regular coverings of having A as its covering transformation group, on which each automorphism in H can be lifted. In this paper, we investigate the regular coverings with A = Zp , an elementary abelian group and get some new matrix-theoret...
متن کاملBranched coverings of maps and lifts of map homomorphisms
In this article we generalize both ordinary and permutation voltage constructions to obtain all branched coverings of maps. We approach a map as a set of flags together with three fixed-point-free involutions and relate this approach with other standard representations. We define a lift as a function from these flags into a group. Ordinary voltage and ordinary current assignments are special ca...
