An instance of Max CSP is a finite collection of constraints on a set of variables, and the goal is to assign values to the variables that maximises the number of satisfied constraints. Max CSP captures many well-known problems (such as Max…

After substantial progress over the last 15 years, the "algebraic CSP-dichotomy conjecture" reduces to the following: every local constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) associated with a finite idempotent algebra is tractable if and only if…

Motivated by the problem of deformation quantization we introduce and study directed graph complexes with oriented loops and wheels. We develop some technique for computing cohomology of such graph complexes and apply it to several concrete…

Partition functions, also known as homomorphism functions, form a rich family of graph invariants that contain combinatorial invariants such as the number of k-colourings or the number of independent sets of a graph and also the partition…

This article describes a formal strategy of geometric complexity theory (GCT) to resolve the {\em self referential paradox} in the $P$ vs. $NP$ and related problems. The strategy, called the {\em flip}, is to go for {\em explicit proofs} of…

Let $\mathbb C$ be the set of complex numbers, and let $\mathcal P$ be a collection of complex polynomial maps in several variables. Assuming at least one $P\in\mathcal P$ depends on at least two variables, we classify all possibilities for…

Leaf powers and pairwise compatibility graphs were introduced over twenty years ago as simplified graph models for phylogenetic trees. Despite significant research, several properties of these graph classes remain poorly understood. In this…

We prove a complexity dichotomy theorem for symmetric complex-weighted Boolean #CSP when the constraint graph of the input must be planar. The problems that are #P-hard over general graphs but tractable over planar graphs are precisely…

We continue the analysis of the Modular Isomorphism Problem for $2$-generated $p$-groups with cyclic derived subgroup, $p>2$, started in [D. Garc\'ia-Lucas, \'A. del R\'io, and M. Stanojkovski. On group invariants determined by modular…

We study the complexity of counting (weighted) planar graph homomorphism problem $\tt{Pl\text{-}GH}(M)$ parametrized by an arbitrary symmetric non-negative real valued matrix $M$. For matrices with pairwise distinct diagonal values, we…

Graph homomorphism has been studied intensively. Given an m x m symmetric matrix A, the graph homomorphism function is defined as \[Z_A (G) = \sum_{f:V->[m]} \prod_{(u,v)\in E} A_{f(u),f(v)}, \] where G = (V,E) is any undirected graph. The…

Complexity theory can be viewed as the study of the relationship between computation and applications, understood the former as complexity classes and the latter as problems. Completeness results are clearly central to that view. Many…

After introducing some motivations for this survey, we describe a formalism to parametrize a wide class of algebraic structures occurring naturally in various problems of topology, geometry and mathematical physics. This allows us to define…

A trigraph is a graph where each pair of vertices is labelled either 0 (a non-arc), 1 (an arc) or $\star$ (both an arc and a non-arc). In a series of papers, Hell and co-authors proposed to study the complexity of homomorphisms from graphs…
