Abstract To every half-translation surface, we associate a saddle connection graph, which is a subgraph of the arc graph. We prove that every isomorphism between two saddle connection graphs is induced by an affine homeomorphism between the underlying half-translation surfaces. We also investigate the automorphism group of the saddle connection graph and the corresponding quotient graph.

In a recent paper, we studied the interaction between the automorphism group of a graph and its Tutte polynomial. More precisely, we proved that certain symmetries of graphs are clearly reflected by their Tutte polynomials. The purpose of this paper is to extend this study to other graph polynomials. In particular, we prove that if a graph [Formula: see text] has a symmetry of prime order [Formula: see text], then its characteristic polynomial, with coefficients in the finite field [Formula: see text], is determined by the characteristic polynomial of its quotient graph [Formula: see text]. Similar results are also proved for some generalization of the Tutte polynomial.

In this paper we consider parallel translation surfaces, which are generated by spacelike curves, according to Bishop frame with timelike M1 in Minkowski 3- space. Then, we obtain some characterizations of these surface.

Let a finite group G of odd order n act regularly on a connected (multi-)graph Γ. That is, no group element other than the identity fixes any vertex. Then the “quotient graph” Δ under the action is the induced graph of orbits. We give a result about the connectivity of Γ and Δ in terms of their numbers of labeled spanning trees. In words, the spanning tree count of the graph is equal to n, the order of the given regular automorphism group, times the spanning tree count of the graph of orbits, times a perfect square integer. There is a dual result on the Laplacian spectrum saying that the multiset of Laplacian eigenvalues for the main graph is the disjoint union of the multiset for the quotient graph together with a multiset all of whose elements have even multiplicity. Specializing to the case of one orbit, we observe that a Cayley graph of odd order has spanning tree count equal to n times a square, and that that the Laplacian spectrum consists of the value 0 together with other doubled eigenvalues. These results are based on a study of matrices (and determinants) that consist of blocks of group-matrices. The generic determinant for such a matrix with the additional property of symmetry will have a dominanting square factor in its (multinomial) factorization. To show this, we make use of the Feit-Thompson theorem which provides a normal tower for an odd-order group, and perform a similarity conjugation with a fixed integer, unimodal matrix. Additional related results are given for certain group-matrices “twisted” by a group of automorphisms, generalizing the “g-circulants” of P.J. Davis.

Abstract We compute the gap distribution of directions of saddle connections for two classes of translation surfaces. One class will be the translation surfaces arising from gluing two identical tori along a slit. These yield the first explicit computations of gap distributions for non-lattice translation surfaces. We show that this distribution has support at zero and quadratic tail decay. We also construct examples of translation surfaces in any genus $d>1$ that have the same gap distribution as the gap distribution of two identical tori glued along a slit. The second class we consider are twice-marked tori and saddle connections between distinct marked points with a specific orientation. These results can be interpreted as the gap distribution of slopes of affine lattices. We obtain our results by translating the question of gap distributions to a dynamical question of return times to a transversal under the horocycle flow on an appropriate moduli space.

Abstract Translation surfaces in the Galilean 3-space G3 have two types according to the isotropic and non-isotropic plane curves. In this paper, we study a translation surface in G3 with a log-linear density and classify such a surface with vanishing weighted mean curvature.

AbstractA translation surface 𝒮 is said to have the finite blocking property if for every pair (O,A) of points in 𝒮 there exists a finite number of ‘blocking’ points B1,…,Bn such that every geodesic from O to A meets one of the Bis. 𝒮 is said to be purely periodic if the directional flow is periodic in each direction whose directional flow contains a periodic trajectory (this implies that 𝒮 admits a cylinder decomposition in such directions). We will prove that the finite blocking property implies pure periodicity. We will also classify the surfaces that have the finite blocking property in genus two: such surfaces are exactly the torus branched coverings. Moreover, we prove that in every stratum such surfaces form a set of null measure. In Appendix A, we prove that completely periodic translation surfaces form a set of null measure in every stratum.

An affine translation surface is a graph of a function   introduced by Liu and Yu in 2013. The article considers the spacelike affine translation surfaces in the Minkowski space  with density  establishing the Lagrange’s equation type for -maximal surface, classifying -maximal spacelike affine translation surfaces. The result obtains two parameters and . From that, the Calabi – Bernstein theorem in this space is not true because two function  and  are defined on

AbstractFor a $ \mathbb{Z} $-cover $\widetilde {M} \rightarrow M$ of a translation surface, which is a lattice surface, and which admits infinite strips, we prove that almost every direction for the straightline flow is ergodic.
