Borsuk-Ulam property for graphs

Algebraic Topology 2022-11-11 v1

Abstract

For finite connected graphs Γ\Gamma and GG, with Γ\Gamma admitting a free involution τ\tau, we characterize the based homotopy classes α[Γ,G]\alpha\in[\Gamma,G] for which the Borsuk-Ulam property holds in the sense of Gon\c{c}alves, Guaschi and Casteluber-Laass, i.e., the homotopy classes α\alpha so that each of its representatives fαf\in\alpha satisfies f(x)=f(τx)f(x) = f(\tau\cdot x) for some xΓx\in\Gamma. This is attained through a graph-braid-group perspective aided by the use of discrete Morse theory.
