A graphon satisfies the $H$-property if graphs sampled from it contain a Hamiltonian decomposition almost surely, which in turn implies that the corresponding network topologies are, e.g., structurally stable and structurally ensemble…
A Banach space is {\it polynomially Schur} if sequential convergence against analytic polynomials implies norm convergence. Carne, Cole and Gamelin show that a space has this property and the Dunford-Pettis property if and only if it is…
A \textit{multicurve} $\C$ on a closed orientable surface is defined to be a finite collection of disjoint non-isotopic essential simple closed curves. The Dehn twist $t_{\C}$ about $\C$ is the product of the Dehn twists about the…
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…
The Dehn function measures the area of minimal discs that fill closed curves in a space; it is an important invariant in analysis, geometry, and geometric group theory. There are several equivalent ways to define the Dehn function, varying…
We introduce a \emph{spectral Dehn function} \[ \Lambda_{\mathcal{P}}(n):=\inf \lambda_1(\Delta), \] where $\lambda_1(\Delta)$ is the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the random-walk Laplacian on a van Kampen diagram $\Delta$, and the infimum…
We define a map of simplicial presheaves, the Chern character, that assigns to every sequence of composable non connection preserving isomorphisms of vector bundles with holomorphic connections an appropriate sequence of holomorphic forms.…
In graph theory there are intimate connections between the expansion properties of a graph and the spectrum of its Laplacian. In this paper we define a notion of combinatorial expansion for simplicial complexes of general dimension, and…
We obtain several new characterizations of splayedness for divisors: a Leibniz property for ideals of singularity subschemes, the vanishing of a `splayedness' module, and the requirements that certain natural morphisms of modules and…
In this paper we study the concept of characteristic numbers and Chern slopes in the context of curve configurations in the real and complex projective plane. We show that some extremal line configurations inherit the same asymptotic…
The Dehn function of a metric space measures the area necessary in order to fill a closed curve of controlled length by a disc. As a main result, we prove that a length space has curvature bounded above by $\kappa$ in the sense of…
In this paper we find spectral properties in the large $N$ limit of Dirac operators that come from random finite noncommutative geometries. In particular for a Gaussian potential the limiting eigenvalue spectrum is shown to be universal…
We obtain a precise relation between the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class of a subvariety of projective space and the Euler characteristics of its general linear sections. In the case of a hypersurface, this leads to simple proofs of…
A model is proposed to study the electronic structure of slightly curved graphene sheets with an arbitrary number of pentagon-heptagon pairs and Stone-Wales defects based on a cosmological analogy. The disorder induced by curvature produces…
We study the spectral properties of infinitely smooth multivariate kernel matrices when the nodes form a single cluster. We show that the geometry of the nodes plays an important role in the scaling of the eigenvalues of these kernel…
We introduce the notion of the algebraic overshear density property which implies both the algebraic notion of flexibility and the holomorphic notion of the density property. We investigate basic consequences of this stronger property, and…
For any unoriented loop on a compact connected oriented surface with one boundary component, the generalized Dehn twist along the loop is defined as an automorphism of the completed group ring of the fundamental group of the surface. If the…
Cheeger inequality is a classical result emerging from the isoperimetric problem in the field of geometry. In the graph theory, a discrete version of Cheeger inequality was also studied deeply and the notion was further extended for higher…
A graph $G$ is said to be \emph{determined by its spectrum} if any graph having the same spectrum as $G$ is isomorphic to $G$. Let $K_n \setminus P_{\ell}$ be the graph obtained from $K_n$ by removing edges of $P_\ell$, where $P_\ell$ is a…
For graphs there exists a strong connection between spectral and combinatorial expansion properties. This is expressed, e.g., by the discrete Cheeger inequality, the lower bound of which states that $\lambda(G) \leq h(G)$, where…
