We study the equivalence relation on the set of acyclic orientations of an undirected graph $\Gamma$ generated by source-to-sink conversions. These conversions arise in the contexts of admissible sequences in Coxeter theory, quiver representations, and asynchronous graph dynamical systems. To each equivalence class we associate a poset, characterize combinatorial properties of these posets, and in turn, the admissible sequences. This allows us to construct an explicit bijection from the equivalence classes over $\Gamma$ to those over $\Gamma'$ and $\Gamma"$, the graphs obtained from $\Gamma$ by edge deletion and edge contraction of a fixed cycle-edge, respectively. This bijection yields quick and elegant proofs of two non-trivial results: $(i)$ A complete combinatorial invariant of the equivalence classes, and $(ii)$ a solution to the conjugacy problem of Coxeter elements for simply-laced Coxeter groups. The latter was recently proven by H. Eriksson and K. Eriksson using a much different approach.

In this paper we give an elementary method for classifying conjugacy classes of involutions in a Coxeter group (W, S). The classification is in terms of (W-equivalence classes of certain subsets of S).

The main algorithmic problems of combinatorial group theory posed by M. Den and G. Titze at the beginning of the twentieth century are the problems of word, word conjugacy and of group isomorphism. However, these problems, as follows from the results of P.S. Novikov and S.I. Adyan, turned out to be unsolvable in the class of finitely defined groups. Therefore, algorithmic problems began to be considered in specific classes of groups. The word conjugacy problem allows for two generalizations. On the one hand, we consider the problem of conjugacy of subgroups, that is, the problem of constructing an algorithm that allows for any two finitely generated subgroups to determine whether they are conjugate or not. On the other hand, the problem of generalized conjugacy of words is posed, that is, the problem of constructing an algorithm that allows for any two finite sets of words to determine whether they are conjugated or not. Combining both of these generalizations into one, we obtain the problem of generalized conjugacy of subgroups. Coxeter groups were introduced in the 30s of the last century, and the problems of equality and conjugacy of words are algorithmically solvable in them. To solve other algorithmic problems, various subclasses are distinguished. This is partly due to the unsolvability in Coxeter groups of another important problem – the problem of occurrence, that is, the problem of the existence of an algorithm that allows for any word and any finitely generated subgroup of a certain group to determine whether this word belongs to this subgroup or not. The paper proves the algorithmic solvability of the problem of generalized conjugacy of subgroups in Coxeter groups with a tree structure.

In this paper Legendrian graphs in (ℝ3, ξst) are considered modulo Legendrian isotopy and edge contraction. To a Legendrian graph we associate a (generalized) rectangular diagram — a purely combinatorial object. Moves of rectangular diagrams are introduced so that equivalence classes of Legendrian graphs and rectangular diagrams coincide. Using this result we prove that the classes of Legendrian graphs are in one-to-one correspondence with fence diagrams modulo fence moves introduced by Rudolph.

We give a bijective proof for a relation between unicellular, bicellular, and tricellular maps. These maps represent cell complexes of orientable surfaces having one, two, or three boundary components. The relation can formally be obtained using matrix theory (Dyson, 1949) employing the Schwinger-Dyson equation (Schwinger, 1951). In this paper we present a bijective proof of the corresponding coefficient equation. Our result is a bijection that transforms a unicellular map of genus g into unicellular, bicellular or tricellular maps of strictly lower genera. The bijection employs edge cutting, edge contraction, and edge deletion.
