Directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) constitute a central modeling tool to enable principled reasoning about cause-effect interactions in complex systems. However, since the causal structure underlying a group of variables is often unknown and…

We introduce an axiomatic theory of spherical diagrams as a tool to study certain combinatorial properties of polyhedra in $\mathbb R^3$, which are of central interest in the context of Art Gallery problems for polyhedra and other…

We develop terminology and methods for working with maximally oriented partially directed acyclic graphs (maximal PDAGs). Maximal PDAGs arise from imposing restrictions on a Markov equivalence class of directed acyclic graphs, or…

We focus on two specific generalizations of the chromatic symmetric function: one involving universal graphs and the other concerning vertex-weighted graphs. In this paper, we introduce a unified generalization that incorporates both…

Maximal Ancestral Graphs (MAGs) provide an abstract representation of Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) with latent (selection) variables. These graphical objects encode information about ancestral relations and d-separations of the DAGs they…

It is well-known that every vertex-transitive graph admits a representation as a coset graph. In this paper, we extend this construction by introducing monodromy graphs defined through double cosets. Our main result establishes that every…

Acyclic model, often depicted as a directed acyclic graph (DAG), has been widely employed to represent directional causal relations among collected nodes. In this article, we propose an efficient method to learn linear non-Gaussian DAG in…

We study Hamiltonian paths and cycles in undirected graphs from an operadic viewpoint. We show that the graphical collection $\mathsf{Ham}$ encoding directed Hamiltonian paths in connected graphs admits an operad-like structure, called a…

In this paper we propose a graph superalgebra which is the supersymmetric analogue of Leavitt path algebras. We find a basis for these superalgebras and characterize when they have polynomial growth.

Leavitt path algebras are free algebras subject to relations induced by directed graphs. This paper investigates the ideals of Leavitt path algebras, with an emphasis on the relationship between graph-theoretic properties of a directed…

This is my dissertation about digraphs ordered by pp-constructability. We study in particular smooth digraphs, i.e., digraphs without sources or sinks, tournaments and semicomplete digraphs, orientations of paths and cycles, digraphs with…

A type of directed multigraph called a W-digraph is introduced to model the structure of certain representations of Hecke algebras, including those constructed by Lusztig and Vogan from involutions in a Weyl group. Building on results of…

We give a general account of family algebras over a finitely presented linear operad, this operad together with its presentation naturally defining an algebraic structure on the set of parameters.

A self-contained exposition is given of the topological and Galois-theoretic properties of the category of combinatorial 1-complexes, or graphs, very much in the spirit of Stallings. A number of classical, as well as some new results about…

Counting and sampling directed acyclic graphs from a Markov equivalence class are fundamental tasks in graphical causal analysis. In this paper we show that these tasks can be performed in polynomial time, solving a long-standing open…

We show that the infinite symmetric product of a connected graded-commutative algebra over the rationals is naturally isomorphic to the free graded-commutative algebra on the positive degree subspace of the original algebra. In particular,…

We will consider P-graph complexes, where P is a cyclic operad. P-graph complexes are natural generalizations of Kontsevich's graph complexes -- for P = the operad for associative algebras it is the complex of ribbon graphs, for P = the…

We show that the number of acyclic directed graphs with n labeled vertices is equal to the number of n X n (0,1)-matrices whose eigenvalues are positive real numbers.

This article is intended as a reference guide to various notions of monoidal categories and their associated string diagrams. It is hoped that this will be useful not just to mathematicians, but also to physicists, computer scientists, and…
