In this paper we consider all orientation-preserving ${\mathbb{Z}}_4$-actions on 3-dimensional handlebodies $V_g$ of genus g > 0. We study the graph of groups (${\Gamma}(v)$, G(v)), which determines a handlebody orbifold $V({\Gamma}(v),G(v)){\simeq}V_g/{\mathbb{Z}}_4$. This algebraic characterization is used to enumerate the total number of ${\mathbb{Z}}_4$ group actions on such handlebodies, up to equivalence.

In this paper we consider all orientation-preserving ${\mathbb{Z}}_{p^2}$-actions on 3-dimensional handlebodies $V_g$ of genus g > 0 for p an odd prime. To do so, we examine particular graphs of groups (${\Gamma}(v)$, G(v)) in canonical form for some 5-tuple v = (r, s, t, m, n) with r + s + t + m > 0. These graphs of groups correspond to the handlebody orbifolds V (${\Gamma}(v)$, G(v)) that are homeomorphic to the quotient spaces $V_g/{\mathbb{Z}}_{p^2}$ of genus less than or equal to g. This algebraic characterization is used to enumerate the total number of ${\mathbb{Z}}_{p^2}$-actions on such handlebodies, up to equivalence.

We define the concept of a generator for a ${\mathbb{Z}}^k$-action T and show that T is expansive if and only it has a generator. Further, we prove several properties of a ${\mathbb{Z}}^k$-action including that the least upper bound of the set of expansive constants is not an expansive constant.

We study free actions of finite groups on 3-dimensional nil-manifolds with the first homology ${\mathbb{Z}}^2{\oplus}{\mathbb{Z}}_p$. By the works of Bieberbach and Waldhausen, this classification problem is reduced to classifying all normal nilpotent subgroups of almost Bieberbach groups of finite index, up to affine conjugacy.

We study free actions of finite nonabelian groups on 3-dimensional nilmanifolds with the first homology ${\mathbb{Z}}^2{\bigoplus}{\mathbb{Z}}_2$ which yield an orbit manifold reversing fiber orientation, up to topological conjugacy. We show that those nonabelian groups are $D_4$(the dihedral group), $Q_8$(the quaternion group), and $C_8.C_4$(the $1^{st}$ non-split extension by $C_8$ of $C_4$ acting via $C_4/C_2=C_2$).

Let R be a ring with identity, X the set of all nonzero, nonunits of R and G the group of all units of R. First, we investigate some connected conditions of the zero-divisor graph $\Gamma(R)$ of a noncommutative ring R as follows: (1) if $\Gamma(R)$ has no sources and no sinks, then $\Gamma(R)$ is connected and diameter of $\Gamma(R)$, denoted by diam($\Gamma(R)$) (resp. girth of $\Gamma(R)$, denoted by g($\Gamma(R)$)) is equal to or less than 3; (2) if X is a union of finite number of orbits under the left (resp. right) regular action on X by G, then $\Gamma(R)$ is connected and diam($\Gamma(R)$) (resp. g($\Gamma(R)$)) is equal to or less than 3, in addition, if R is local, then there is a vertex of $\Gamma(R)$ which is adjacent to every other vertices in $\Gamma(R)$; (3) if R is unit-regular, then $\Gamma(R)$ is connected and diam($\Gamma(R)$) (resp. g($\Gamma(R)$)) is equal to or less than 3. Next, we investigate the graph automorphisms group of $\Gamma(Mat_2(\mathbb{Z}_p))$ where $Mat_2(\mathbb{Z}_p)$ is the ring of 2 by 2 matrices over the galois field $\mathbb{Z}_p$ (p is any prime).

For a Borel function ${\psi}:\mathbb{R}{\times}\mathbb{R}{\rightarrow}\mathbb{R}$ satisfying the functional equation $\psi$ (s + t, u + v) + $\psi$(s - t, u - v) = $2\psi$(s, u) + $2\psi$(t, v), we show that it satisfies the functional equation $$\psi$$(s, t) = s(s - t)$$\psi$$(1, 0) + $$st\psi$$(1, 1) + t(t - s)$$\psi$$(0, 1). Using this, we prove the stability of the functional equation f(ax + ay, bz + bw) + f(ax - ay, bz - bw) = 2abf(x, z) + 2abf(y,w) in Banach modules over a unital $C^*$-algebra.
