A graph $G$ is primarily orientable if it is possible to orient its edges in such a way that the resulting oriented graph is prime, i.e., indecomposable under modular decomposition. We characterize primarily orientable graphs.
Let $G$ be a graph in which each edge is assigned one of the colours $1, 2, \ldots, m$, and let $\Gamma$ be a subgroup of $S_m$. The operation of switching at a vertex $x$ of $G$ with respect to an element $\pi$ of $\Gamma$ permutes the…
A new shortest proof of Kotzig's Theorem about graphs with unique perfect matching is presented in this paper. It is well known that Kotzig's theorem is a consequence of Yeo's Theorem about edge-colored graph without alternating cycle. We…
A colored graph is a complete graph in which a color has been assigned to each edge, and a colorful cycle is a cycle in which each edge has a different color. We first show that a colored graph lacks colorful cycles iff it is Gallai, i.e.,…
We show that certain graphs of groups with cyclic edge groups are aTmenable. In particular, this holds when each vertex group is either virtually special or acts properly and semisimply on $\mathbb{H}^n$.
L.M.Vitaver [1962] and G.I.Minty [1962] suggested criteria for vertex colorability of a graph in at most a given number of colors; these criteria are stated in terms of the orientation of the edges. One additional criterion of this kind is…
In an earlier paper the first two authors have shown that self-complementary graphs can always be oriented in such a way that the union of the oriented version and its isomorphically oriented complement gives a transitive tournament. We…
We prove that a wide range of coloring problems in graphs on surfaces can be resolved by inspecting a finite number of configurations.
Circular coloring is a constraints satisfaction problem where colors are assigned to nodes in a graph in such a way that every pair of connected nodes has two consecutive colors (the first color being consecutive to the last). We study…
In this paper, a theorem is proved that generalizes several existing amalgamation results in various ways. The main aim is to disentangle a given edge-colored amalgamated graph so that the result is a graph in which the edges are shared out…
Let N be a regular branched cover of a homology 3-sphere M with deck group G isomorphic to Z_2^d and branch set a trivalent graph Gamma; such a cover is determined by a coloring of the edges of Gamma with elements of G. For each index-2…
In this work methods of construction of cubic graphs are analyzed and a theorem of existence of a colored disc traversing each pair of linked edges belonging to an elementary cycle of a planar cubic graph is proved.
Graph colouring is a combinatorial optimisation problem with applications in several important domains, including sports scheduling, cartography, street map navigation, and timetabling. It is also of significant theoretical interest and a…
We characterize $k$--colorability of a simplicial graph via the intrinsic algebraic structure of the associated right-angled Artin group. As a consequence, we show that a certain problem about the existence of homomorphisms from…
In this paper, two open conjectures are disproved. One conjecture regards independent coverings of sparse partite graphs, whereas the other conjecture regards orthogonal colourings of tree graphs. A relation between independent coverings…
We say that a vertex or edge colouring of a graph is distinguishing if the only automorphism that preserves this colouring is the identity. A (proper) distinguishing colouring is irreducible if there is no possibility of merging two…
The topological Tverberg theorem has been generalized in several directions by setting extra restrictions on the Tverberg partitions. Restricted Tverberg partitions, defined by the idea that certain points cannot be in the same part, are…
We prove a "multiple colored Tverberg theorem" and a "balanced colored Tverberg theorem", by applying different methods, tools and ideas. The proof of the first theorem uses multiple chessboard complexes (as configuration spaces) and…
Homological stability for sequences of groups is often proved by studying the spectral sequence associated to the action of a typical group in the sequence on a highly-connected simplicial complex whose stabilizers are related to previous…
Let $\zeta$ be Euclidean norm of the degree sequence of a graph normalized by the graph size. We prove that when the vertices of a graph are randomly colored with $s$ colors such that the fraction of vertices in each color class is bounded…
