Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. An edge subset $F\subseteq E(G)$ is called a restricted edge-cut if $G-F$ is disconnected and has no isolated vertices. The restricted edge-connectivity $\lambda'(G)$ of $G$ is…

We prove a quantitative refinement of the statement that groups of polynomial growth are finitely presented. Let $G$ be a group with finite generating set $S$ and let $\operatorname{Gr}(r)$ be the volume of the ball of radius $r$ in the…

The chromatic symmetric function $X_G$ is a sum of monomials corresponding to proper vertex colorings of a graph $G$. Crew, Pechenik, and Spirkl (2023) recently introduced a $K$-theoretic analogue $\overline{X}_G$ called the Kromatic…

By a [$K$-]approximate subring of a ring we mean an additively symmetric subset $X$ such that $X \cdot X \cup (X + X)$ is covered by finitely many [resp.\ $K$] additive translates of $X$. We prove a structure theorem for finite approximate…

We prove that every infinite sequence of skew-symmetric or symmetric matrices M_1, M_2, ... over a fixed finite field must have a pair M_i, M_j (i<j) such that M_i is isomorphic to a principal submatrix of the Schur complement of a…

Given a graph $G$, its genus polynomial is $\Gamma_G(x) = \sum_{k\geq 0} g_k(G)x^k$, where $g_k(G)$ is the number of 2-cell embeddings of $G$ in an orientable surface of genus $k$. The Log-Concavity Genus Distribution (LCGD) Conjecture…

Characterized are all simple undirected graphs $G$ such that any real symmetric matrix that has graph $G$ has no eigenvalues of multiplicity more than 2. All such graphs are partial 2-trees (and this follows from a result for rather general…

A graph G is {\xi}-nearly planar if it can be embedded in the sphere so that each of its edges is crossed at most {\xi} times. The family of {\xi}-nearly planar graphs is widely extending the notion of planarity. We introduce an alternative…

We study the images of polynomial maps over algebraically closed division rings. Our first result generalizes the classical Ax-Grothendieck theorem: We show that if $ f_1, \ldots, f_m $ are elements of the free associative algebra $…

We introduce a new graph polynomial that encodes interesting properties of graphs, for example, the number of matchings and the number of perfect matchings. Most importantly, for bipartite graphs the polynomial encodes the number of…

The independence polynomial $i(G,x)$ of a graph $G$ is the generating function of the numbers of independent sets of each size. A graph of order $n$ is very well-covered if every maximal independent set has size $n/2$. Levit and Mandrescu…

Eigenvalues of a graph are the eigenvalues of the corresponding (0,1)-adjacency matrix. The second largest eigenvalue lambda_2 provides significant information on characteristics and structure of graphs. Therefore, finding bounds for…

We study the diameter of LPS Ramanujan graphs $X_{p,q}$. We show that the diameter of the bipartite Ramanujan graphs is greater than $ (4/3)\log_{p}(n) +O(1)$ where $n$ is the number of vertices of $X_{p,q}$. We also construct an infinite…

If $G$ is a graph and $X\subseteq V(G)$, then $X$ is a total mutual-visibility set if every pair of vertices $x$ and $y$ of $G$ admits a shortest $x,y$-path $P$ with $V(P) \cap X \subseteq \{x,y\}$. The cardinality of a largest total…

In the Maximum Independent Set problem we are asked to find a set of pairwise nonadjacent vertices in a given graph with the maximum possible cardinality. In general graphs, this classical problem is known to be NP-hard and hard to…

We consider a graph polynomial \xi(G;x,y,z) introduced by Averbouch, Godlin, and Makowsky (2007). This graph polynomial simultaneously generalizes the Tutte polynomial as well as a bivariate chromatic polynomial defined by Dohmen, Poenitz…

For all $k \geq 3$, we show how one can explicitly construct an infinite family of $k$-regular graphs all of which have second largest eigenvalue satisfying the bound $O(k^{1/2})$. This resolves an open problem of Reingold, Vadhan and…

Mixed connectivity is a generalization of vertex and edge connectivity. A graph is $(p,0)$-connected, $p>0$, if the graph remains connected after removal of any $p-1$ vertices. A graph is $(p,q)$-connected, $p\geq 0$, $q>0$, if it remains…

Given a graph $G$, the maximum size of an induced subgraph of $G$ each component of which is a star is called the edge open packing number, $\rho_{e}^{o}(G)$, of $G$. Similarly, the maximum size of an induced subgraph of $G$ each component…

Let $L(X)$ be the line graph of graph $X$. Let $X^{\prime\prime}$ be the Kronecker product of $X$ by $K_2$. In this paper, we see that $L(X^{\prime\prime})$ is a double cover of $L(X)$. We define the symmetric edge graph of $X$, denoted as…
