We present a new approach to showing that random graphs are nearly optimal expanders. This approach is based on recent deep results in combinatorial group theory. It applies to both regular and irregular random graphs. Let G be a random…

Friedland's Lower Matching Conjecture asserts that if $G$ is a $d$--regular bipartite graph on $v(G)=2n$ vertices, and $m_k(G)$ denotes the number of matchings of size $k$, then $$m_k(G)\geq {n \choose…

We give a sharp lower bound on the number of matchings of a given size in a bipartite graph. When specialized to regular bipartite graphs, our results imply Friedland's Lower Matching Conjecture and Schrijver's theorem proven by Gurvits and…

The affine Grassmannian associated to a reductive group $\mathbf{G}$ is an affine analogue of the usual flag varieties. It is a rich source of Poisson varieties and their symplectic resolutions. These spaces are examples of conical…

The Heilmann--Lieb theorem is a fundamental theorem in algebraic combinatorics which provides a characterization of the distribution of the zeros of matching polynomials of graphs. In this paper, we establish a hypergraph Heilmann--Lieb…

We prove that the Kuramoto model on a graph can contain infinitely many non-equivalent stable equilibria. More precisely, we prove that for every positive integer d there is a connected graph such that the set of stable equilibria contains…

If for any $k$ the $k$-th coefficient of a polynomial I(G;x) is equal to the number of stable sets of cardinality $k$ in the graph $G$, then it is called the independence polynomial of $G$ (Gutman and Harary, 1983). Let $a$ be the size of a…

Let $G = (A \cup B, E)$ be an instance of the stable marriage problem with strict preference lists. A matching $M$ is popular in $G$ if $M$ does not lose a head-to-head election against any matching where vertices are voters. Every stable…

Let $D$ be a digraph. A collection of disjoint sets of vertices (respec., collection of disjoint subdigraphs) $\mathcal{H}$ of $D$ and a vertex subset (or subdigraph) $Q$ of $D$ are orthogonal if every set (respec., subdigraph) $H \in…

In geometric, algebraic, and topological combinatorics, the unimodality of combinatorial generating polynomials is frequently studied. Unimodality follows when the polynomial is (real) stable, a property often deduced via the theory of…

We show that the Mallows measure on permutations of $1,\ldots,n$ arises as the law of the unique Gale-Shapley stable matching of the random bipartite graph conditioned to be perfect, where preferences arise from a total ordering of the…

The purpose of this paper is to initiate a new attack on Arveson's resistant conjecture, that all graded submodules of the $d$-shift Hilbert module $H^2$ are essentially normal. We introduce the stable division property for modules (and…

This note is an introduction to the properties of stable polynomials in several variables with real or complex coefficients. These polynomials are defined in terms of where the polynomial is non-vanishing. We do not cover well-known topics…

We prove homological stability for both general linear groups of modules over a ring with finite stable rank and unitary groups of quadratic modules over a ring with finite unitary stable rank. In particular, we do not assume the modules…

For all integers $4 \leq r \leq d$, we show that there exists a finite simple graph $G= G_{r,d}$ with toric ideal $I_G \subset R$ such that $R/I_G$ has (Castelnuovo-Mumford) regularity $r$ and $h$-polynomial of degree $d$. To achieve this…

We continue the study of straightening maps for the family of polynomials of degree $d \ge 3$. The notion of straightening map is originally introduced by Douady and Hubbard to study relationship between polynomial-like renormalizations and…

Consider the family of graphs without $ k $ node-disjoint odd cycles, where $ k $ is a constant. Determining the complexity of the stable set problem for such graphs $ G $ is a long-standing problem. We give a polynomial-time algorithm for…

I relate bipartite graph matchings to stable matchings. I prove a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a saturating stable matching, where every agent on one side is matched, for all possible preferences. I extend my…

We study the NP-hard Stable Hypergraph Matching (SHM) problem and its generalization allowing capacities, the Stable Hypergraph $b$-Matching (SH$b$M) problem, and investigate their computational properties under various structural…

We prove geometric and cohomological stabilization results for the universal smooth degree $d$ hypersurface section of a fixed smooth projective variety as $d$ goes to infinity. We show that relative configuration spaces of the universal…
