The question of when a given graph can be the underlying graph of a regular map has roots a hundred years old and is currently the object of several threads of research. This paper outlines this topic briefly and proves that a product of graphs which have regular embeddings also has such an embeddin

✦ Synopsis
Regular homomorphisms of oriented maps essentially arise from a factorization by a subgroup of automorphisms. This kind of map homomorphism is studied in detail, and generalized to the case when the induced homomorphism of the underlying graphs is not valency preserving. Reconstruction is treated by means of voltage assignments on angles, a natural extension of the common assignments on darts. Lifting and projecting groups of automorphisms along regular homomorphisms is studied in some detail. Finally, the split-extension structure of lifted groups is analysed.

We prove the existence of d-regular graphs with arbitrarily large girth and no homomorphism onto the cycle C s , where (d, s)=(3, 9) and (4, 5).
We present an elementary argument of the regularity of weak harmonic maps of a surface into the spheres, as well as the partial regularity of stationary harmonic maps of a higher-dimensional domain into the spheres. The argument does not make use of the structure of Hardy spaces.
For an integer \(m>2\), let \(L_{2}^{\langle-1\rangle}\left(\mathbb{Z}_{m}\right)\) be the group of \(2 \times 2\) matrices over \(\mathbb{Z}_{m}\) with determinants \(\pm 1\). Then for each subgroup \(H\) with \(\{ \pm 1\} \leqslant H \leqslant \operatorname{centre}\left(L_{2}^{(-1)}\left(\mathbb{Z
Coxeter-Petrie complexes naturally arise as thin diagram geometries whose rank 3 residues contain all of the dual forms of a regular algebraic map M. Corresponding to an algebraic map is its classical dual, which is obtained simply by interchanging the vertices and faces, as well as its Petrie dual,
