A set $X \subseteq V(G)$ in a graph $G$ is $(q,k)$-unbreakable if every separation $(A,B)$ of order at most $k$ in $G$ satisfies $|A \cap X| \leq q$ or $|B \cap X| \leq q$. In this paper, we prove the following result: If a graph $G$…

An edge-weighted graph $G$, possibly with loops, is said to be antiferromagnetic if it has nonnegative weights and at most one positive eigenvalue, counting multiplicities. The number of graph homomorphisms from a graph $H$ to an…

Consider a statistical physical model on the $d$-regular infinite tree $T_{d}$ described by a set of interactions $\Phi$. Let $\{G_{n}\}$ be a sequence of finite graphs with vertex sets $V_n$ that locally converge to $T_{d}$. From $\Phi$…

Graph homomorphism has been an important research topic since its introduction [17]. Stated in the language of binary relational structures in that paper [17], Lov\'asz proved a fundamental theorem that, for a graph $H$ given by its $0$-$1$…

A graph homomorphism is a vertex map which carries edges from a source graph to edges in a target graph. The instances of the Weighted Maximum H-Colourable Subgraph problem (MAX H-COL) are edge-weighted graphs G and the objective is to find…

For graphs $G$ and $H$, a \emph{homomorphism} from $G$ to $H$ is an edge-preserving mapping from the vertex set of $G$ to the vertex set of $H$. For a fixed graph $H$, by \textsc{Hom($H$)} we denote the computational problem which asks…

We consider the problem of finding a homomorphism from an input digraph $G$ to a fixed digraph $H$. We show that if $H$ admits a weak near unanimity polymorphism $\phi$ then deciding whether $G$ admits a homomorphism to $H$ (HOM($H$)) is…

In this thesis, the main objects of study are probability measures on the isomorphism classes of countable, connected rooted graphs. An important class of such measures is formed by unimodular measures, which satisfy a certain equation,…

Two graphs are homomorphism indistinguishable over a graph class $\mathcal{F}$, denoted by $G \equiv_{\mathcal{F}} H$, if $\operatorname{hom}(F,G) = \operatorname{hom}(F,H)$ for all $F \in \mathcal{F}$ where $\operatorname{hom}(F,G)$…

We present new criteria, based on commutator methods, for the strong mixing property of discrete flows $\{U^N\}_{N\in\mathbb Z}$ and continuous flows $\{{\rm e}^{-itH}\}_{t\in\mathbb R}$ induced by unitary operators $U$ and self-adjoint…

A graph $G$ is called self-ordered (a.k.a asymmetric) if the identity permutation is its only automorphism. Equivalently, there is a unique isomorphism from $G$ to any graph that is isomorphic to $G$. We say that $G=(V,E)$ is robustly…

The generic homomorphism problem, which asks whether an input graph $G$ admits a homomorphism into a fixed target graph $H$, has been widely studied in the literature. In this article, we provide a fine-grained complexity classification of…

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…

We introduce a new perfect sampling technique that can be applied to general Gibbs distributions and runs in linear time if the correlation decays faster than the neighborhood growth. In particular, in graphs with sub-exponential…

Given graphs $H$ and $G$, possibly with vertex-colors, a homomorphism is a function $f:V(H)\to V(G)$ that preserves colors and edges. Many interesting counting problems (e.g., subgraph and induced subgraph counts) are finite linear…
