The Pathwidth Theorem states that if a class of graphs has unbounded pathwidth, then it contains all trees as graph minors. We prove a similar result for dense graphs. More precisely, we give a finite family of tree-like patterns and prove…

The Directed Grid Theorem, stating that there is a function $f$ such that a directed graphs of directed treewidth at least $f(k)$ contains a directed grid of size at least $k$ as a butterfly minor, after being a conjecture for nearly 20…

We prove that the principal minors of the distance matrix of a tree satisfy a combinatorial expression involving counts of rooted spanning forests of the underlying tree. This generalizes a result of Graham and Pollak, and refines a result…

Motivated by a conjecture of Gy\'arf\'as, recently B\"ottcher, Hladk\'y, Piguet, and Taraz showed that every collection $T_1,\dots,T_t$ of trees on $n$ vertices with $\sum_{i=1}^te(T_i)\leq \binom{n}{2}$ and with bounded maximum degree, can…

We prove that the inclusion from oriented graph complex into graph complex with at least one source is a quasi-isomorphism, showing that homology of the "sourced" graph complex is also equal to the homology of standard Kontsevich's graph…

We study a notion of cross ratios on metric graphs and electrical networks. We show that several known results immediately follow from the basic properties of cross ratios. We show that the projection matrices of Kirchhoff have nice (and…

An oriented hypergraph is an oriented incidence structure that generalizes and unifies graph and hypergraph theoretic results by examining its locally signed graphic substructure. In this paper we obtain a combinatorial characterization of…

This paper studies the relation between the Lorenz majorization order and the realizability of degree sequences X of a network in the sense of being graphical or connected graphical (c-graphical) or not. We prove the main result that, if X…

We prove a theorem that can be thought of as a common generalization of the Discrete Nodal Theorem and (one direction of) Cheeger's Inequality for graphs. special case of this result will assert that if the second and third eigenvalues of…

Consider a weighted directed acyclic graph $G$ having an upward planar drawing. We give a formula for the total weight of the families of non-intersecting paths on $G$ with any given starting and ending points. While the…

We enumerate factorisations of the complete graph into spanning regular graphs in several cases, including when the degrees of all the factors except for one or two are small. The resulting asymptotic behaviour is seen to generalise the…

Goresky, Kottwitz and MacPherson have recently shown that the computation of the equivariant cohomology ring of a G-manifold can be reduced to a computation in graph theory. This opens up the possibility that many of the fundamental…

One of the most important classes of even $\Delta$-matroids arises from orientable ribbon graphs, which play a role analogous to that of graphic matroids in matroid theory. Motivated by a natural correspondence between strong…

The line graph LG of a directed graph G has a vertex for every edge of G and an edge for every path of length 2 in G. In 1967, Knuth used the Matrix-Tree Theorem to prove a formula for the number of spanning trees of LG, and he asked for a…
