Generalized complex geometry, as developed by Hitchin, contains complex and symplectic geometry as its extremal special cases. In this thesis, we explore novel phenomena exhibited by this geometry, such as the natural action of a B-field.…

An $r$-graph is an $r$-regular graph with no odd cut of size less than $r$. A well-celebrated result due to Lov\'asz says that for such graphs the linear system $Ax = \textbf{1}$ has a solution in $\mathbb{Z}/2$, where $A$ is the $0,1$ edge…

LP algebras, introduced by Lam and Pylyavskyy, are a generalization of cluster algebras. These algebras are known to have the Laurent phenomenon, but positivity remains conjectural. Graph LP algebras are finite LP algebras encoded by a…

We consider the problem of detecting whether a power-law inhomogeneous random graph contains a geometric community, and we frame this as an hypothesis testing problem. More precisely, we assume that we are given a sample from an unknown…

We show that for each $r\ge 4$, in a density range extending up to, and slightly beyond, the threshold for a $K_r$-factor, the copies of $K_r$ in the random graph $G(n,p)$ are randomly distributed, in the (one-sided) sense that the…

The Kneser graph $KG_{n,k}$ is the graph whose vertices are the $k$-element subsets of $[n],$ with two vertices adjacent if and only if the corresponding sets are disjoint. A famous result due to Lov\'asz states that the chromatic number of…

The problem of recognizing (k, l)-tight graphs is a fundamental problem that has close connections to well studied problems like graph rigidity. The problem is better understood for planar graphs as compared to general graphs. For example,…

We show that a graph class $\cal G$ has bounded expansion if and only if it has bounded $r$-neighbourhood complexity, i.e. for any vertex set $X$ of any subgraph $H$ of $G\in\cal G$, the number of subsets of $X$ which are exact…

We present novel graph kernels for graphs with node and edge labels that have ordered neighborhoods, i.e. when neighbor nodes follow an order. Graphs with ordered neighborhoods are a natural data representation for evolving graphs where…

We introduce the notion of doubling and r-tupling for simplicial complexes, a notion reminiscent to that of matching complexes in graph theory. We prove a connectivity result for such complexes and relate r-tupling to stabilizing r times…

k-graphs are higher-rank analogues of directed graphs which were first developed to provide combinatorial models for operator algebras of Cuntz-Krieger type. Here we develop a theory of the fundamental groupoid of a k-graph, and relate it…

We show that the vanishing of certain cohomology groups of polyhedral complexes imply upper bounds on Ramsey numbers. Lovasz bounded the chromatic numbers of graphs using Hom complexes. Babson and Kozlov proved Lovasz conjecture and…

We introduce a general class of algorithms and supply a number of general results useful for analysing these algorithms when applied to regular graphs of large girth. As a result, we can transfer a number of results proved for random…

Reidl, S\'anchez Villaamil, and Stravopoulos (2019) characterized graph classes of bounded expansion as follows: A class $\mathcal{C}$ closed under subgraphs has bounded expansion if and only if there exists a function $f:\mathbb{N} \to…

To estimate the lower bound for the chromatic number of a graph $G$, Lov\'asz associated a simplicial complex $\mathcal{N}(G)$ called the neighborhood complex and relates the topological connectivity of $\mathcal{N}(G)$ to the chromatic…

We introduce and investigate generalizations of interval and proper interval graphs to simplicial complexes, including strong interval, unit interval, and under closed variants. Through equivalent combinatorial and algebraic…

The partition number $\pi(K)$ of a simplicial complex $K\subset 2^{[m]}$ is the minimum integer $\nu$ such that for each partition $A_1\uplus\ldots\uplus A_\nu = [m]$ of $[m]$ at least one of the sets $A_i$ is in $K$. A complex $K$ is…

For studying topological obstructions to graph colorings, Hom-complexes were introduced by Lov\'{a}sz. A graph $T$ is called a test graph if for every graph $H$, the $k$-connectedness of $|Hom(T, H)|$ implies $\chi (H)\geq k + 1 + \chi(T)$.…

We describe a natural topological generalization of edge expansion for graphs to regular CW complexes and prove that this property holds with high probability for certain random complexes.

For a given finite class of finite graphs H, a graph G is called a realization of H if the neighbourhood of its any vertex induces the subgraph isomorphic to a graph of H. We consider the following problem known as the Generalized…
