Characterisations and Galois conjugacy of generalised Paley maps

چکیده

A generalised Paley map is a Cayley map for the additive group of a finite field F , with a subgroup S = −S of the multiplicative group as generating set, cyclically ordered by powers of a generator of S. We characterise these as the orientably regular maps with orientation-preserving automorphism group acting primitively and faithfully on the vertices; allowing a non-faithful primitive action yields certain cyclic coverings of these maps. We determine the fields of definition and the orbits of the absolute Galois group GalQ on these maps, and we show that if (q−1)/(p−1) divides |S|, where |F | = q = pe with p prime, then these maps are the only orientably regular embeddings of their underlying graphs; in particular this applies to the Paley graphs, where |S| = (q − 1)/2 is even. MSC classification: Primary 20B25, secondary 05C10, 05C25, 14H37, 14H55, 30F10.

Nonlinearity, Quasisymmetry, Differentiability, And Rigidity in One-Dimensional Dynamics

In this article, we review some of our research in the study of one-dimensional dynamical systems, in particular, some technique and results in the study of the smooth classification of certain one-dimensional maps. The main results which we review are that if the conjugacy between two mixing and nice quasihyperbolic maps is differentiable at one point with uniform bound, then it is piecewise s...

Classification and Galois conjugacy of Hamming maps

We show that for each d ≥ 1 the d-dimensional Hamming graph H(d, q) has an orientably regular surface embedding if and only if q is a prime power pe. If q > 2 there are up to isomorphism φ(q−1)/e such maps, all constructed as Cayley maps for a d-dimensional vector space over the field Fq. We show that for each such pair d, q the corresponding Bely̆ı pairs are conjugate under the action of the ab...

On Generalised Paley Graphs and Their Automorphism Groups

The generalised Paley graphs, as the name implies, are a generalisation of the Paley graphs which are well-known to be self-complementary and arc-transitive. They are defined as follows. Let F be a finite field of order p, where p is a prime, and let S be a subgroup of the multiplicative group of F, where S must have even order if p is odd. The generalised Paley graph of F relative to S has ver...

Modular Curves of Prime-power Level with Infinitely Many Rational Points

For each open subgroup G of GL2(Ẑ) containing −I with full determinant, let XG/Q denote the modular curve that loosely parametrizes elliptic curves whose Galois representation, which arises from the Galois action on its torsion points, has image contained in G. Up to conjugacy, we determine a complete list of the 248 such groups G of prime power level for which XG(Q) is infinite. For each G, we...

Generalised Ramsey numbers and Bruhat order on involutions

This thesis consists of two papers within two different areas of combinatorics. Ramsey theory is a classic topic in graph theory, and Paper A deals with two of its most fundamental problems: to compute Ramsey numbers and to characterise critical graphs. More precisely, we study generalised Ramsey numbers for two sets Γ1 and Γ2 of cycles. We determine, in particular, all generalised Ramsey numbe...
