We study some graphs associated to a surface, called k-multicurve graphs, which interpolate between the curve complex and the pants graph. Our main result is that, under certain conditions, simplicial embeddings between multicurve graphs…

We prove that every injective simplicial map $\mathcal{F}(S) \to \mathcal{F}(S')$ between flip graphs is induced by a subsurface inclusion $S\to S'$, except in finitely many cases. This extends a result of Korkmaz--Papadopoulos which…

In this paper, we investigate a family of graphs associated to collections of arcs on surfaces. These {\it multiarc graphs} naturally interpolate between arc graphs and flip graphs, both well studied objects in low dimensional geometry and…

Simplicial surfaces describe the incidence relations between vertices, edges and faces of triangulated 2-dimensional manifolds in a purely combinatorial way. By considering only the incidences of edges and faces, simplicial surfaces are…

A lamination of a graph embedded on a surface is a collection of pairwise disjoint non-contractible simple closed curves drawn on the graph. In the case when the surface is a sphere with three punctures (a.k.a. a pair of pants), we first…

Let $N$ be a compact, connected, nonorientable surface of genus $g$ with $n$ boundary components, and $\mathcal{C}(N)$ be the complex of curves of $N$. Suppose that $g + n \leq 3$ or $g + n \geq 5$. If $\lambda : \mathcal{C}(N) \rightarrow…

We prove that each injective simplicial map from the arc complex of a compact, connected, nonorientable surface with nonempty boundary to itself is induced by a homeomorphism of the surface. We also prove that the automorphism group of the…

Let $S_{g,n}$ be an orientable surface of genus $g$ with $n$ punctures. We identify a finite rigid subgraph $X_{g,n}$ of the pants graph $\mathcal P (S_{g,n})$, that is, a subgraph with the property that any simplicial embedding of…

In this paper, we prove that each injective simplicial map of the arc complex of a compact, connected, orientable surface with nonempty boundary is induced by a homeomorphism of the surface. We deduce, from this result, that the group of…

Graph embeddings deal with injective maps from a given simple, undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ into a metric space, such as $\mathbb{R}^n$ with the Euclidean metric. This concept is widely studied in computer science, see \cite{ge1}, but also…

We prove that the ends of a properly immersed simply or one connected minimal surface in H(2)xR contained in a slab of height less than \pi of H(2)xR, are multi-graphs. When such a surface is embedded then the ends are graphs. When embedded…

We present an exact formula for the ordinary generating series of the simple paths between any two vertices of a graph. Our formula involves the adjacency matrix of the connected induced subgraphs and remains valid on weighted and directed…

We prove that each superinjective simplicial map of the complex of curves of a compact, connected, nonorientable surface is induced by a homeomorphism of the surface, if $(g, n) \in \{(1, 0), (1, 1), (2, 0), (2, 1), (3, 0)\}$ or $g + n \geq…

We classify all $\pi_1$-injective proper maps between non-compact surfaces up to proper homotopy.

We characterize locally injective semialgebraic maps between two semialgebraic sets in terms of the induced homomorphism between their rings of (continuous) semialgebraic functions.

We prove that given a planar embedding of a graph in the sphere the expansion of the graph structure by predicates encoding separation of vertices by simple cycles of the graph is dp-minimal.

We consider when automorphisms of a graph can be induced by homeomorphisms of embeddings of the graph in a $3$-manifold. In particular, we prove that every automorphism of a graph is induced by a homeomorphism of some embedding of the graph…

We prove a strong form of finite rigidity for pants graphs of spheres. Specifically, for any $n\geq4$, we construct a finite subgraph $X_n$ of the pants graph $P(S_{0,n})$ of the n-punctured sphere $S_{0,n}$ with the following property. Any…

Let $N$ be a compact, connected, nonorientable surface of genus $g$ with $n$ boundary components. Let $\lambda$ be a simplicial map of the complex of curves, $\mathcal{C}(N)$, on $N$ which satisfies the following: $[a]$ and $[b]$ are…

Assume that we are given two graphic sequences, $\pi_1$ and $\pi_2$. We consider conditions for $\pi_1$ and $\pi_2$ which guarantee that there exists a simple graph $G_2$ realizing $\pi_2$ such that $G_2$ is the subgraph of any simple graph…
