The classical matrix-tree theorem was discovered by G.~Kirchhoff in 1847. It relates the principal minor of the Laplace (nxn)-matrix to a particular sum of monomials indexed by the set of trees with n vertices. The aim of this paper is to…

Given a skew-symmetric matrix $X$, the Pfaffian of $X$ is defined as the square root of the determinant of $X$. In this article, we give the explicit defining equations of the Rees algebra of a Pfaffian ideal $I$ generated by the maximal…

Let $V$ be a nonempty finite set and $A=(a_{ij})_{i,j\in V}$ be a matrix with entries in a field $\mathbb{K}$. For a subset $X$ of $V$, we denote by $A[X]$ the submatrix of $A$ having row and column indices in $X$. We study the following…

Trees are partial orderings where every element has a linearly ordered set of smaller elements. We define and study several natural notions of completeness of trees, extending Dedekind completeness of linear orders and Dedekind-MacNeille…

If a graph has a non-singular adjacency matrix, then one may use the inverse matrix to define a (labeled) graph that may be considered to be the inverse graph to the original one. It has been known that an adjacency matrix of a tree is…

One of the major results of [N. Robertson and P. D. Seymour. Graph minors. XIII. The disjoint paths problem. J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 63(1):65--110, 1995], also known as the weak structure theorem, revealed the local structure of graphs…

This paper explores the fibers of the principal minor map over a general field. The principal minor map is the map that assigns to each $n\times n$ matrix the $2^n$-vector of its principal minors. In $1984$, Hartfiel and Loewy proposed a…

At the core of the Robertson-Seymour theory of graph minors lies a powerful structure theorem which captures, for any fixed graph H, the common structural features of all the graphs not containing H as a minor. Robertson and Seymour prove…

The last decade has shed some light on theoretical properties such as their consistency for regression tasks. In the current paper, we propose a new class of very simple learners based on so-called naive trees. These naive trees partition…

We uncover a close connection between the second moment of the degree of a typical vertex in a random subgraph and the pairwise negative correlation (p-NC) property. On one hand, we exploit this connection to prove the p-NC property for…

We prove that the principal minors of the distance matrix of a tree satisfy a combinatorial expression involving counts of rooted spanning forests of the underlying tree. This generalizes a result of Graham and Pollak, and refines a result…
