Branched covers are applied frequently in topology - most prominently in the construction of closed oriented PL d-manifolds. In particular, strong bounds for the number of sheets and the topology of the branching set are known for dimension d<=4. On the other hand, Izmestiev and Joswig described how to obtain a simplicial covering space (the partial unfolding) of a given simplicial complex, thus obtaining a simplicial branched cover [Adv. Geom. 3(2):191-255, 2003]. We present a large class of branched covers which can be constructed via the partial unfolding. In particular, for d<=4 every closed oriented PL d-manifold is the partial unfolding of some polytopal d-sphere.

The KP hierarchy is a completely integrable system of quadratic, partial differential equations that generalizes the KdV hierarchy. A linear combination of Schur functions is a solution to the KP hierarchy if and only if its coefficients satisfy the
Plucker relations from geometry. We give a solution to the Plucker relations involving products of variables marking contents for a partition, and thus give a new proof of a content product solution to the KP hierarchy, previously given by Orlov and Shcherbin. In our main result, we specialize this content product solution to prove that the generating series for a general class of transitive ordered factorizations in the symmetric group satisfies the KP hierarchy. These factorizations appear in geometry as encodings of branched covers, and thus by specializing our transitive factorization result, we are able to prove that the generating series for two classes of branched covers satisfies the KP hierarchy. For the first of these, the double Hurwitz series, this result has been previously given by Okounkov. The second of these, that we call the m-hypermap series, contains the double Hurwitz series polynomially, as the leading coefficient in m. The m-hypermap series also specializes further, first to the series for hypermaps and then to the series for maps, both in an orientable surface. For the latter series, we apply one of the KP equations to obtain a new and remarkably simple recurrence for triangulations in a surface of given genus, with a given number of faces. This recurrence leads to explicit asymptotics for the number of triangulations with given genus and number of faces, in recent work by Bender, Gao and Richmond.
We introduce the notion of a symmetric basis of a vector space equipped with a quadratic form, and provide a sufficient and necessary condition for the existence to such a basis. Symmetric bases are then used to study Cayley graphs of certain extrasp
ecial 2-groups of order 2^{2r+1} (rgeq 1), which are further shown to be normal Cayley graphs and 2-arc-transitive covers of 2r-dimensional hypercubes.
Every closed oriented PL 4-manifold is a branched cover of the 4-sphere branched over a PL-surface with finitely many singularities by Piergallini [Topology 34(3):497-508, 1995]. This generalizes a long standing result by Hilden and Montesinos to dim
ension four. Izmestiev and Joswig [Adv. Geom. 3(2):191-225, 2003] gave a combinatorial equivalent of the Hilden and Montesinos result, constructing closed oriented combinatorial 3-manifolds as simplicial branched covers of combinatorial 3-spheres. The construction of Izmestiev and Joswig is generalized and applied to the result of Piergallini, obtaining closed oriented combinatorial 4-manifolds as simplicial branched covers of simplicial 4-spheres.
A map $X$ on a surface is called vertex-transitive if the automorphism group of $X$ acts transitively on the set of vertices of $X$. If the face-cycles at all the vertices in a map are of same type then the map is called semi-equivelar. In general, s
emi-equivelar maps on a surface form a bigger class than vertex-transitive maps. There are semi-equivelar toroidal maps which are not vertex-transitive. In this article, we show that semi-equivelar toroidal maps are quotients of vertex-transitive toroidal maps. More explicitly, we prove that each semi-equivelar toroidal map has a finite vertex-transitive cover. In 2019, Drach {em et al.} have shown that each vertex-transitive toroidal map has a minimal almost regular cover. Therefore, semi-equivelar toroidal maps are quotients of almost regular toroidal maps.
By using double branched covers, we prove that there is a 1-1 correspondence between the set of knotoids in the 2-sphere, up to orientation reversion and rotation, and knots with a strong inversion, up to conjugacy. This correspondence allows us to s
tudy knotoids through tools and invariants coming from knot theory. In particular, concepts from geometrisation generalise to knotoids, allowing us to characterise invertibility and other properties in the hyperbolic case. Moreover, with our construction we are able to detect both the trivial knotoid in the 2-sphere and the trivial planar knotoid.
