We now find out how a regular map acts on the ring of regular functions on a closed set.[…]Moreover, regular maps can be characterised as the maps that take regular functions into regular functions.

Since one expects that the canonical projection f:X→X/G is a regular map of algebraic varieties and so has closed fibres, all orbits must be closed subsets in the Zariski topology of X.

The 1-dimensional semialgebraic set 𝒮:=x>0,xy=1 is the image of the regular map
f: R ²→ R ²,(x,y)↦((xy-1)²+x²,1/((xy-1)²+x²)).

Just as there are only five regular maps on the sphere (or plane), there are only three classes of regular maps that can be created on a torus.

If n is finite, the regular map is a tessellation of the plane by congruent n-sided polygons, m of which meet at each vertex.

If M is a regular map of type p,q, then mathit Aut(M)≈Δ(p,q,2)/N for some normal subgroup N⊴Δ(p,q,2). Similar statements hold for the class of orientably regular maps and subgroups of Δ⁺ and Δ⁺(p,q,2).
