We associate a sequence of positive integers, termed the type sequence, with a cochordal graph. Using this type sequence, we compute all graded Betti numbers of its edge ideal. We then classify all positive integer $n$ such that the zero…

This paper is motivated by the following question: what are the unavoidable induced subgraphs of graphs with large treewidth? Aboulker et al. made a conjecture which answers this question in graphs of bounded maximum degree, asserting that…

We consider families of schemes over arbitrary fields resp. analytic varieties with finitely many (not necessarily reduced) isolated non-normal singularities, in particular families of generically reduced curves. We define a modified delta…

We give a $\delta$-constant criterion for equinormalizability of deformations of isolated (not necessarily reduced) curve singularities over smooth base spaces of dimension $\geq 1$. For one-parametric families of isolated curve…

We study the minimal $q$-exponent $\Delta$ in the BPS $q$-series $\widehat{Z}$ of negative definite plumbed 3-manifolds equipped with a spin$^{\rm c}$-structure. We express $\Delta$ of Seifert manifolds in terms of an invariant commonly…

We study $h$-vectors of simplicial complexes which satisfy Serre's condition ($S_r$). We say that a simplicial complex $\Delta$ satisfies Serre's condition ($S_r$) if $\tilde H_i(\lk_\Delta(F);K)=0$ for all faces $F \in \Delta$ and for all…

This note is intended as an introduction to the functorial formulation of quantum field theories with defects. After some remarks about models in general dimension, we restrict ourselves to two dimensions - the lowest dimension in which…

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph. The line graph $L(G)$ represents the adjacencies between edges of $G$. We define first the line simplicial complex $\Delta_L(G)$ of $G$ containing Gallai and anti-Gallai simplicial complexes…

In arXiv:1711.10132 a new approximating invariant ${\mathsf{TC}}^{\mathcal{D}}$ for topological complexity was introduced called $\mathcal{D}$-topological complexity. In this paper, we explore more fully the properties of…

In this article we study abstract and embedded invariants of reduced curve germs via topological techniques. One of the most important numerical analytic invariants of an abstract curve is its delta invariant. Our primary goal is to develop…

A vertex coloring of a simplicial complex $\Delta$ is called a linear coloring if it satisfies the property that for every pair of facets $(F_1, F_2)$ of $\Delta$, there exists no pair of vertices $(v_1, v_2)$ with the same color such that…

Let $X$ be a smooth quasi-projective algebraic surface and let $\Delta_n$ the big diagonal in the product variety $X^n$. We study cohomological properties of the ideal sheaves $\mathcal{I}^k_{\Delta_n}$ and their invariants…

A multigraph is a nonsimple graph which is permitted to have multiple edges, that is, edges that have the same end nodes. We introduce the concept of spanning simplicial complexes $\Delta_s(\mathcal{G})$ of multigraphs $\mathcal{G}$, which…

Let $X$ be a simply connected CW-complex of finite type and $\mathbb{K}$ any field. A first known lower bound of LS-category $cat(X)$ is the Toomer invariant $e_{\mathbb{K}} (X)$ (\cite{Too}). In $1980$'s F\'elix et al. introduced the…

A relative theory is a boundary condition of a higher-dimensional topological quantum field theory (TQFT), and carries a non-trivial defect group formed by mutually non-local defects living in the relative theory. Prime examples are 6d…

We extend the TFT construction of CFT correlators of [arXiv:hep-th/0204148] to so-called finite logarithmic CFTs for which the algebraic input data is no longer semisimple but still finite. More specifically, starting from the data of a…

We initiate the study of supersymmetry-preserving topological defect lines (TDLs) in the Conway moonshine module $V^{f \natural}$. We show that the tensor category of such defects, under suitable assumptions, admits a surjective but…

Let $R = \mathbb{K}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ and $I \subset R$ be a homogeneous ideal. In this article, we first obtain certain sufficient conditions for the subadditivity of $R/I$. As a consequence, we prove that if $I$ is generated by…

The widely studied edge modification problems ask how to minimally alter a graph to satisfy certain structural properties. In this paper, we introduce and study a new edge modification problem centered around transforming a given graph into…

Let X be a complex smooth quasi-projective variety with a fixed epimorphism $\nu\colon\pi_1(X)\twoheadrightarrow \mathbb{Z}$. In this paper, we consider the asymptotic behaviour of invariants such as Betti numbers with all possible field…
