Starting from an operad, one can build a family of posets. From this family of posets, one can define an incidence Hopf algebra. By another construction, one can also build a group directly from the operad. We then consider its Hopf algebra…

An old conjecture of Erd{\H{o}}s and Gallai states that every $n$ vertex graph can be decomposed, that is $E(G)$ can be partitioned, into $O(n)$ cycles and edges. The covering version of this conjecture was proven by Pyber in 1985, where it…

Let G be a finite undirected graph. A vertex dominates itself and all its neighbors in G. A vertex set D is an efficient dominating set (e.d. for short) of G if every vertex of G is dominated by exactly one vertex of D. The Efficient…

We prove the a.e. nonamenability of locally finite quasi-pmp Borel graphs whose every component admits at least three nonvanishing ends with respect to the underlying Radon--Nikodym cocycle. We witness their nonamenability by constructing…

We first give simplified and corrected accounts of some results in \cite{PiRCP} on compactifications of pseudofinite groups. For instance, we use a classical theorem of Turing \cite{Turing} to give a simplified proof that any definable…

In this paper we describe an algorithm that embeds a graph metric $(V,d_G)$ on an undirected weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ into a distribution of tree metrics $(T,D_T)$ such that for every pair $u,v\in V$, $d_G(u,v)\leq d_T(u,v)$ and…

A cut of a graph can be represented in many different ways. Here we propose to represent a cut through a ``relation tree'', which is a spanning tree with signed edges. We show that this picture helps to classify the main greedy heuristics…

We prove essentially tight lower bounds, conditionally to the Exponential Time Hypothesis, for two fundamental but seemingly very different cutting problems on surface-embedded graphs: the Shortest Cut Graph problem and the Multiway Cut…

In Evan and Hendel's recent proof of an outstanding conjecture on the resistance distances of a family of linear 3-trees, a key technique in the proof was calculating the recursion satisfied by a family of determinants. The underlying…

A rigidity circuit (in 2D) is a minimal dependent set in the rigidity matroid, i.e. a minimal graph supporting a non-trivial stress in any generic placement of its vertices in $\mathbb R^2$. Any rigidity circuit on $n\geq 5$ vertices can be…

We investigate a process of joining $k$ random spanning trees on a fixed clique $K_n$. The joined trees may not be disjoint and multiple edges are replaced by one simple edge. This process produces a simple graph $G$ on $n$~vertices with an…

This is a new and short proof of the main theorem of classical structure tree theory. Namely, we show the existence of certain automorphism-invariant tree-decompositions of graphs based on the principle of removing finitely many edges. This…

Many graph coloring proofs proceed by showing that a minimal counterexample to the theorem being proved cannot contain certain configurations, and then showing that each graph under consideration contains at least one such configuration;…

Hutchcroft and Pete showed that countably infinite groups with Property (T) admit cost one actions, resolving a question of Gaboriau. We give a streamlined proof of their theorem, and extend it both to locally compact second countable…

We are concerned with orderable groups and particularly those with orderings invariant not only under multiplication, but also under a given automorphism or family of automorphisms. Several applications to topology are given: we prove that…

We present an algorithm that, with high probability, generates a random spanning tree from an edge-weighted undirected graph in $\tilde{O}(n^{4/3}m^{1/2}+n^{2})$ time (The $\tilde{O}(\cdot)$ notation hides $\operatorname{polylog}(n)$…

We study three families of labelled plane trees. In all these trees, the root is labelled 0, and the labels of two adjacent nodes differ by $0, 1$ or -1. One part of the paper is devoted to enumerative results. For each family, and for all…

In this paper we prove that the monotonicity of kneading sequences and topological entropy, a fundamental structural property of the quadratic family, extends to the class of power-law unimodal maps $f_a(x)=a-|x|^r$ for arbitrary critical…

We prove a Jordan decomposition theorem for minimal connected simple groups of finite Morley rank with non-trivial Weyl group. From this, we deduce a precise structural description of Borel subgroups of this family of simple groups. Along…

We prove several results about chordal graphs and weighted chordal graphs by focusing on exposed edges. These are edges that are properly contained in a single maximal complete subgraph. This leads to a characterization of chordal graphs…
