We express connected Fermionic Green's functions in terms of completely explicit tree formulas. In contrast with the ordinary formulation in terms of Feynman graphs these formulas allow a completely transparent proof of convergence of the…

We study the structures of Pfaffian equations and contiguity relations of the hypergeometric function of type $(k+1,k+n+2)$ by using twisted cohomology groups and the intersection form on them. We apply our results to algebraic statistics;…

We elaborate the two-fold simplex-like structures of tree amplitudes in planar maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills (N=4 SYM), through its connection to a mathematical structure known as the positive Grassmannian. Exploiting the reduced…

In this paper, we aim to provide probabilistic and combinatorial insights into tree formulas for the Green function and hitting probabilities of Markov chains on a finite state space. These tree formulas are closely related to loop-erased…

An exact formula is given for the probability that there exists a spanning cluster between opposite boundaries of an annulus, in the scaling limit of critical percolation. The entire distribution function for the number of distinct spanning…

We classify connected spanning convex subgraphs of the square cycles. We then show that every spanning tree of $C_n^2$ is contained in a unique nontrivial connected spanning convex subgraph of $C_n^2$. As a result, we obtain a purely…

We consider determinantal point processes (DPPs) constrained by spanning trees. Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a positive semi-definite matrix $\mathbf{A}$ indexed by $E$, a spanning-tree DPP defines a distribution such that we draw…

We formulate and prove an analog of the Hopf Index Theorem for Riemannian foliations. We compute the basic Euler characteristic of a closed Riemannian manifold as a sum of indices of a non-degenerate basic vector field at critical leaf…

We generalize the definition and enumeration of spanning trees from the setting of graphs to that of arbitrary-dimensional simplicial complexes $\Delta$, extending an idea due to G. Kalai. We prove a simplicial version of the Matrix-Tree…

We define notions of local topological convergence and local geometric convergence for embedded graphs in $\mathbb{R}^n,$ and study their properties. The former is related to Benjamini-Schramm convergence, and the latter to weak convergence…

We obtain an exact formula for the probability that a uniformly random spanning tree of the $2$-by-$n$ square grid is ``balanced'' in the sense that it has an edge whose removal partitions its vertices into two sets of equal size. We…
