In this note we give a version of Hao Huang's proof of the sensitivity conjecture, shedding some light on the origin of the magical matrix $A$ in that proof. For the history of the subject and the importance of this conjecture to the study…
In 1985, Arjeh Cohen and Jacques Tits proved the existence of a 4-cycle-free 2-fold cover of the hypercube. This Cohen-Tits cover is closely related to the signed adjacency matrix that Hao Huang used last year in his proof of the…
Recently, Huang gave a very elegant proof of the Sensitivity Conjecture by proving that hypercube graphs have the following property: every induced subgraph on a set of more than half its vertices has maximum degree at least $\sqrt{d}$,…
We present an exact formula for the ordinary generating series of the simple paths between any two vertices of a graph. Our formula involves the adjacency matrix of the connected induced subgraphs and remains valid on weighted and directed…
An oriented hypergraph is an oriented incidence structure that allows for the generalization of graph theoretic concepts to integer matrices through its locally signed graphic substructure. The locally graphic behaviors are formalized in…
Alweiss, Lovett, Wu, and Zhang introduced $q$-spread hypergraphs in their breakthrough work regarding the sunflower conjecture, and since then $q$-spread hypergraphs have been used to give short proofs of several outstanding problems in…
We show how to construct an explicit Hamilton cycle in the directed Cayley graph Cay({\sigma_n, sigma_{n-1}} : \mathbb{S}_n), where \sigma_k = (1 2 >... k). The existence of such cycles was shown by Jackson (Discrete Mathematics, 149 (1996)…
We introduce a hypergraph matrix, named the unified matrix, and use it to represent the hypergraph as a graph. We show that the unified matrix of a hypergraph is identical to the adjacency matrix of the associated graph. This enables us to…
We give another version of Huang's proof that an induced subgraph of the n-dimensional cube graph containing over half the vertices has maximal degree at least $\sqrt{n}$, which implies the Sensitivity Conjecture. This argument uses…
A Hamiltonian embedding is an embedding of a graph $G$ such that the boundary of each face is a Hamiltonian cycle of $G$. It is shown that the hypercube graph $Q_n$ admits such an embedding on an orientable surface when $n$ is a power of 2.…
We prove a few results about non-nilpotent graphs of symmetric groups $S_n$ -- namely that they have a Hamiltonian cycle and they satisfy a conjecture of Nongsiang and Saikia. The latter is likewise proven for alternating groups $A_n$. We…
In this paper, various kinds of invariants of directed graphs are summarized. In the first topic, the invariant w(G) for a directed graph G is introduced, which is primarily defined by S. Chen and X.M. Chen to solve a problem of weak…
In this paper, we propose the following conjecture which generalizes a theorem proved by Huang [Hua19] in his recent breakthrough proof of the sensitivity conjecture. We conjecture that for any Cayley graph $X = \Gamma(G,S)$ on a group $G$…
We show that for every $k \in \mathbb{N}$ there exists $C > 0$ such that if $p^k \ge C \log^8 n / n$ then asymptotically almost surely the random graph $G_{n,p}$ contains the $k$\textsuperscript{th} power of a Hamilton cycle. This…
A generalized power hypergraph $\mathcal{H}^k_s$ is obtained from a base hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ by means of some simple edge-expansion operations. Kang, Liu, Qi and Yuan [8] proved that the nonzero eigenvalues of $\mathcal{H}$ give rise…
The vertex set of the kth cartesian power of a directed cycle of length m can be naturally identified with the set of k-tuples of integers modulo m. For any two vertices v and w of this graph, it is easy to see that if there is a…
In an earlier work, the author together with Guo [Hermitian adjacency matrix of digraphs and mixed graphs, J. Graph Theory 85 (2017) 217-248] introduced the Hermitian adjacency matrix of directed (and partially directed) graphs. However, it…
Operators are induced on fermion and zeon algebras by the action of adjacency matrices and combinatorial Laplacians on the vector spaces spanned by the graph's vertices. Properties of the algebras automatically give information about the…
Employing a quadratic transformation formula of Rahman and the method of `creative microscoping' (introduced by the author and Zudilin in 2019), we provide some new $q$-supercongruences for truncated basic hypergeometric series. In…
In this article we discuss the question of presence of Hamiltonian cycle in the un-directed power graph of a group. In the process we develop weighted Hamiltonian cycle concept and prove a few general results regarding the Hamiltonian…
