Homomorphically full graphs are those for which every homomorphic image is isomorphic to a subgraph. We extend the definition of homomorphically full to oriented graphs in two different ways. For the first of these, we show that…

Graph kernels are often used in bioinformatics and network applications to measure the similarity between graphs; therefore, they may be used to construct efficient graph classifiers. Many graph kernels have been developed thus far, but to…

We develop an algebraic and operational framework for quantum isomorphisms of hypergraphs, using tools from compact quantum group theory. We introduce a new synchronous version of the hypergraph isomorphism game whose game algebra uniformly…

We consider a database composed of a set of conceptual graphs. Using conceptual graphs and graph homomorphism it is possible to build a basic query-answering mechanism based on semantic search. Graph homomorphism defines a partial order…

Adapting a recent work of Brannan et al., on extending graph $C^*$-algebras to Quantum graphs, we introduce "Quantum Quivers" as an analogue of quivers where the edge and vertex set has been replaced by a $C^*$-algebra and the maps between…

In the branch of mathematics known as graph theory, graphs are considered as a set of points, called vertices, with connections between these points, called edges. The purpose of this paper is to study mappings between two graphs that have…

Quantum relations in the sense of Weaver are $M'$-bimodules, for a von Neumann algebra $M$, these generalising actual relations on a set $X$ when $M=\ell^\infty(X)$. Similarly, relations between two sets can be generalised as bimodules over…

Man\v{c}inska and Roberson introduced quantum graph homomorphisms as the existence of perfect quantum strategies for graph homomorphism games. The resulting relation is a quasi-order on finite graphs, and hence gives a partial order after…

Over 50 years ago, Lov\'{a}sz proved that two graphs are isomorphic if and only if they admit the same number of homomorphisms from any graph [Acta Math. Hungar. 18 (1967), pp. 321--328]. In this work we prove that two graphs are quantum…

We introduce and study elementary properties of graph homology of algebras. This new homology theory shares many features of cyclic and Hochschild homology. We also define a graph K-theory together with an analog of Chern character.

We associate to each synchronous game an algebra whose representations determine if the game has a perfect deterministic strategy, perfect quantum strategy or one of several other perfect strategies. when applied to the graph coloring game,…

We consider constrained variants of graph homomorphisms such as embeddings, monomorphisms, full homomorphisms, surjective homomorpshims, and locally constrained homomorphisms. We also introduce a new variation on this theme which derives…

We introduce the partition function of edge-colored graph homomorphisms, of which the usual partition function of graph homomorphisms is a specialization, and present an efficient algorithm to approximate it in a certain domain. Corollaries…

The notion of a quantum family of maps has been introduced in the framework of C*-algebras. As in the classical case, one may consider a quantum family of maps preserving additional structures (e.g. quantum family of maps preserving a…

We describe proper actors from the underlying groupoid of a graph C*-algebra to another \'etale groupoid in terms of bisections. This allows to understand graph morphisms and the *-homomorphisms that they induce more conceptually. More…

We introduce a category $\mathsf{qGph}$ of quantum graphs, whose definition is motivated entirely from noncommutative geometry. For all quantum graphs $G$ and $H$ in $\mathsf{qGph}$, we then construct a quantum graph $[G,H]$ of…

In 2019, Aterias et al. constructed pairs of quantum isomorphic, non-isomorphic graphs from linear constraint systems. This article deals with quantum automorphisms and quantum isomorphisms of colored versions of those graphs. We show that…

Recently, the work on quantum automorphism groups of graphs has seen renewed progress, which we expand in this paper. Quantum symmetry is a richer notion of symmetry than the classical symmetries of a graph. In general, it is non-trivial to…
