Given their potential for fault-tolerant operations, topological quantum states are currently the focus of intense activity. Of particular interest are topological quantum error correction codes, such as the surface and planar stabilizer…
Link prediction systems (e.g. recommender systems) typically use graph topology as one of their main sources of information. However, automorphisms and related properties of graphs beget inherent limits in predictability. We calculate hard…
We study the use of local heuristics to determine spanning subgraphs for use in the dissemination of information in complex networks. We introduce two different heuristics and analyze their behavior in giving rise to spanning subgraphs that…
The string splicing was introduced by Tom Head which stands as an abstract model for the DNA recombination under the influence of restriction enzymes. The complex chemical process of three dimensional molecules in three dimensional space…
Expander graphs, due to their mixing properties, are useful in many algorithms and combinatorial constructions. One can produce an expander graph with high probability by taking a random graph (e.g., the union of $d$ random bijections for a…
Feller, Klug, Schirmer and Zemke showed the homology and the intersection form of a closed trisected 4-manifold are described in terms of trisection diagram. In this paper, it is confirmed that we are able to calculate those of a trisected…
Elek and Lippner (2010) showed that the convergence of a sequence of bounded-degree graphs implies the existence of a limit for the proportion of vertices covered by a maximum matching. We provide a characterization of the limiting…
We introduce the concept of matching connectivity as a notion of connectivity in graph admitting perfect matchings which heavily relies on the structural properties of those matchings. We generalise a result of Robertson, Seymour and Thomas…
We study sheaf codes, a type of linear codes with a fixed hierarchical collection of local codes, viewed as a sheaf of vector spaces on a finite topological space we call coded space. Many existing codes, such as tensor product codes,…
A graph is said to be well-covered if all its maximal independent sets are of the same size. In 1999, Yamashita and Kameda introduced a subclass of well-covered graphs, called localizable graphs and defined as graphs having a partition of…
A hypergraph is said to be $1$-Sperner if for every two hyperedges the smallest of their two set differences is of size one. We present several applications of $1$-Sperner hypergraphs and their structure to graphs. In particular, we…
We relate two important notions in graph theory: expanders which are highly connected graphs, and modularity a parameter of a graph that is primarily used in community detection. More precisely, we show that a graph having modularity…
Graphical designs are an extension of spherical designs to functions on graphs. We connect linear codes to graphical designs on cube graphs, and show that the Hamming code in particular is a highly effective graphical design. We show that…
We survey results at the intersection of topological graph theory and the game of Cops and Robbers, focusing on results, conjectures, and open problems for the cop number of a graph embedded on a surface. After a discussion on results for…
Twist defects in surface codes can be used to encode more logical qubits, improve the code rate, and implement logical gates. In this work we provide a rigorous formalism for constructing surface codes with twists generalizing the…
We study the spatial Gibbs random graphs introduced in [MV16] from the point of view of local convergence. These are random graphs embedded in an ambient space consisting of a line segment, defined through a probability measure that favors…
Using a flow first introduced by J.P. Anderson, we obtain some existence theorems for harmonic maps from a noncompact complete Riemannian manifold into a complete Riemannian manifold. In particular, we prove as a corollary a recent result…
We show that every regular graph with good local expansion has a spanning Lipschitz subgraph with large girth and minimum degree. In particular, this gives a finite analogue of the dynamical solution to the von Neumann problem by Gaboriau…
The field of molecular excitons and related supramolecular systems has largely focused on aggregates where nearest-neighbour couplings dominate. We propose that radically different states can be produced by moving beyond that paradigm. In…
We find new upper bounds on the size of a minimum totally dominating set for random regular graphs and for regular graphs with large girth. These bounds are obtained through the analysis of a local algorithm using a method due to Hoppen and…
