We calculate exact analytic expressions for the average cluster numbers $\langle k \rangle_{\Lambda_s}$ on infinite-length strips $\Lambda_s$, with various widths, of several different lattices, as functions of the bond occupation…

A layered graph $G^\times$ is the Cartesian product of a graph $G = (V,E)$ with the linear graph $Z$, e.g. $Z^\times$ is the 2D square lattice $Z^2$. For Bernoulli percolation with parameter $p \in [0,1]$ on $G^\times$ one intuitively would…

We prove that the value of the critical probability for percolation on an abelian Cayley graph is determined by its local structure. This is a partial positive answer to a conjecture of Schramm: the function pc defined on the set of Cayley…

We prove that for supercritical percolation on every infinite transitive graph, the probability that the origin belongs to a finite cluster of size at least $n$ decays exponentially in $\Phi(n)$, where $\Phi$ is the isoperimetric function…

We consider the $r$-neighbor bootstrap percolation process on the graph with vertex set $V=\{0,1\}^n$ and edges connecting the pairs at Hamming distance $1,2,\dots,k$, where $k\ge 2$. We find asymptotics of the critical probability of…

Given a graph G, an incidence matrix N(G) is defined for the set of distinct isomorphism types of induced subgraphs of G. If Ulam's conjecture is true, then every graph invariant must be reconstructible from this matrix, even when the…

For any cubic graph in a closed orientable surface and a perfect matching, the Penrose-Kauffman polynomial is a sum of chromatic polynomials of a collection of associated graphs. A knot-theoretic perspective affords elementary proofs of old…

In this work, we present a new algorithm to approximate the percolation centrality of every node in a graph. Such a centrality measure quantifies the importance of the vertices in a network during a contagious process. In this paper, we…

The Tutte polynomial is a fundamental invariant of graphs. In this article, we define and study a generalization of the Tutte polynomial for directed graphs, that we name B-polynomial. The B-polynomial has three variables, but when…

Around 2008, Schramm conjectured that the critical probabilities for Bernoulli bond percolation satisfy the following continuity property: If $(G_n)_{n\geq 1}$ is a sequence of transitive graphs converging locally to a transitive graph $G$…

The oriented chromatic polynomial of a oriented graph outputs the number of oriented $k$-colourings for any input $k$. We fully classify those oriented graphs for which the oriented graph has the same chromatic polynomial as the underlying…

Consider independent bond percolation with retention probability p on a spherically symmetric tree Gamma. Write theta_Gamma(p) for the probability that the root is in an infinite open cluster, and define the critical value…

We derive the critical nearest-neighbor connectivity $g_n$ as $3/4$, $3(7-9p_c^{tri})/[4(5-4p_c^{tri})]$, and $3(2+7p_c^{tri})/[4(5-p_c^{tri})]$ for bond percolation on the square, honeycomb and triangular lattice respectively, where…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a connected, locally finite, transitive graph, and consider Bernoulli bond percolation on $G$. In recent work, we conjectured that if $G$ is nonamenable then the matrix of critical connection probabilities…

Mutual visibility in graphs provides a framework for analysing how vertices can observe one another along shortest paths free of internal obstructions. The visibility polynomial, which enumerates mutual-visibility sets of all orders, has…

Many polynomial invariants are defined on graphs for encoding the combinatorial information and researching them algebraically. In this paper, we introduce the cycle polynomial and the path polynomial of directed graphs for counting cycles…

We introduce a new graph polynomial in two variables. This ``interlace'' polynomial can be computed in two very different ways. The first is an expansion analogous to the state space expansion of the Tutte polynomial; the significant…

We study the critical frontiers of the Potts model on two-dimensional bow-tie lattices with fully inhomogeneous coupling constants. Generally, for the Potts critical frontier to be found exactly, the underlying lattice must be a 3-uniform…

We extend some of the fundamental results about percolation on unimodular nonamenable graphs to nonunimodular graphs. We show that they cannot have infinitely many infinite clusters at critical Bernoulli percolation. In the case of heavy…

Motivated by questions about square-free monomial ideals in polynomial rings, in 2010 Francisco et al. conjectured that for every positive integer k and every k-critical (i.e., critically k-chromatic) graph, there is a set of vertices whose…
