We show that if a graph $G$ satisfies certain conditions then the connectivity of neighbourhood complex $\mathcal{N}(G)$ is strictly less than the vertex connectivity of $G$. As an application, we give a relation between the connectivity of…
A graph $H$ is said to be an induced minor of a graph $G$ if $H$ can be obtained from $G$ by a sequence of vertex deletions and edge contractions. Equivalently, $H$ is an induced minor of $G$ if there exists an induced minor model of $H$ in…
A class of graphs is $\chi$-bounded if there exists a function $f:\mathbb N\rightarrow \mathbb N$ such that for every graph $G$ in the class and an induced subgraph $H$ of $G$, if $H$ has no clique of size $q+1$, then the chromatic number…
We provide a very general approach to placing model structures and semi-model structures on algebras over symmetric colored operads. Our results require minimal hypotheses on the underlying model category $\mathcal{M}$, and these hypotheses…
Building upon previous works of Proudfoot and Ramos, and using the categorical framework of Sam and Snowden, we extend the weak categorical minor theorem from undirected graphs to quivers. As case of study, we investigate the consequences…
Knowledge graph embeddings (KGE) apply machine learning methods on knowledge graphs (KGs) to provide non-classical reasoning capabilities based on similarities and analogies. The learned KG embeddings are typically used to answer queries by…
The weak minor G of a graph G is the graph obtained from G by a sequence of edge-contraction operations on G. A weak-minor-closed family of upper embeddable graphs is a set G of upper embeddable graphs that for each graph G in G, every weak…
In this paper, we introduce a method to construct new categories which look like "cubes", and discuss model structures on the presheaf categories over them. First, we introduce a notion of thin-powered structure on small categories, which…
In this paper, we consider two ways of breaking a graph's symmetry: distinguishing labelings and fixing sets. A distinguishing labeling $\phi$ of $G$ colors the vertices of $G$ so that the only automorphism of the labeled graph $(G, \phi)$…
In this paper, we study the graph classification problem from the graph homomorphism perspective. We consider the homomorphisms from $F$ to $G$, where $G$ is a graph of interest (e.g. molecules or social networks) and $F$ belongs to some…
Given a simple graph $G$, a weight function $w:E(G)\rightarrow \mathbb{N} \setminus \{0\}$, and an orientation $D$ of $G$, we define $\mu^-(D) = \max_{v \in V(G)} w_D^-(v)$, where $w^-_D(v) = \sum_{u\in N_D^{-}(v)}w(uv)$. We say that $D$ is…
A (possibly denerate) drawing of a graph $G$ in the plane is approximable by an embedding if it can be turned into an embedding by an arbitrarily small perturbation. We show that testing, whether a straight-line drawing of a planar graph…
Suppose $G$ is a graph with degrees bounded by $d$, and one needs to remove more than $\epsilon n$ of its edges in order to make it planar. We show that in this case the statistics of local neighborhoods around vertices of $G$ is far from…
A category has the amalgamation property (AP) if every pushout diagram has a cocone, and the joint embedding property (JEP) if every finite coproduct diagram has a cocone. We show that for a finitely generated category $\mathbf I$, the…
Commensurate scale relations are perturbative QCD predictions which relate observable to observable at fixed relative scale, such as the "generalized Crewther relation", which connects the Bjorken and Gross-Llewellyn Smith deep inelastic…
We introduce the problem of finding a spanning tree along with a partition of the tree edges into fewest number of feasible sets, where constraints on the edges define feasibility. The motivation comes from wireless networking, where we…
We study preservation theorems for modal logics over finite structures with respect to three fundamental semantic relations: embeddings, injective homomorphisms, and homomorphisms. We focus on classes of pointed Kripke models that are…
Let $G$ be a right-angled Artin group with defining graph $\Gamma$ and let $H$ be a finitely generated group quasi-isometric to $G(\Gamma)$. We show if $G$ satisfies (1) its outer automorphism group is finite; (2) $\Gamma$ does not have…
We extend Campion's pasting theorem for $(\infty, n)$-categories to a larger class of polygraphs, called the directed complexes with frame-acyclic molecules. It follows, for instance, that this pasting theorem applies to any polygraph…
A graph $G$ is called matching covered if all of its edges are contained in some perfect matching of $G$. Furthermore, a cycle $C \subseteq G$ is called conformal if $G - V(C)$ has a perfect matching and $G$ itself is called cycle-conformal…
