On the relation between lifting obstructions and ordinary obstructions [PDF]
We consider partial liftings of maps at fibrations and compare the primary obstruction to extend the lifting with the obstruction to extend the lifting as a simple map into the total space. A relation between these two obstructions is proved for the case when the fiber is an Eilenberg-MacLane space.

Obstructions of Connectivity 2 for Embedding Graphs into the Torus [PDF]
The complete set of minimal obstructions for embedding graphs into the torus is still not determined. In this paper, we present all obstructions for the torus of connectivity 2. Furthermore, we describe the building blocks of obstructions of connectivity 2 for any orientable surface.

Topological characterization of canonical Thurston obstructions [PDF]
Let f be an obstructed Thurston map with canonical obstruction \Gamma_f. We prove the following generalization of Pilgrim's conjecture: if the first-return map F of a periodic component C of the topological surface obtained from the sphere by pinching the curves of \Gamma_f is a Thurston map then the canonical obstruction of F is empty.
