Singularities in Negami's splitting formula for the Tutte polynomial

Combinatorics 2017-11-23 v3

Abstract

The n-sum graph Negami's splitting formula for the Tutte polynomial is not valid in the region (x1)(y1)=q(x-1)(y-1)=q for q=1,2,n1q=1,2,\ldots n-1 with the additional region y=1y=1 if n>3n>3. This region corresponds to (up to prefactors and change of variables) the Ising model, the qq-state Potts model, the number of spanning forest generator and particularizations of these. We show splitting formulas for these specializations.
