Graph matching consists of aligning the vertices of two unlabeled graphs in order to maximize the shared structure across networks; when the graphs are unipartite, this is commonly formulated as minimizing their edge disagreements. In this…

We consider {\em monotone} embeddings of a finite metric space into low dimensional normed space. That is, embeddings that respect the order among the distances in the original space. Our main interest is in embeddings into Euclidean…

In 2010, Butler introduced the unfolding operation on a bipartite graph to produce two bipartite graphs, which are cospectral for the adjacency and the normalized Laplacian matrices. In this article, we describe how the idea of unfolding a…

Thin sums matroids were introduced to extend the notion of representability to non-finitary matroids. We give a new criterion for testing when the thin sums construction gives a matroid. We show that thin sums matroids over thin families…

We introduce delta-graphic matroids, which are matroids whose bases form graphic delta-matroids. The class of delta-graphic matroids contains graphic matroids as well as cographic matroids and is a proper subclass of the class of regular…

In this article we study higher homological properties of $n$-levelled algebras and connect them to properties of the underlying graphs. Notably, to each $2$-representation-finite quadratic monomial algebra $\Lambda$ we associate a…

We introduce a notion of duality (due to Brylawski) that generalizes matroid duality to arbitrary rank functions. This generalized duality allows for generalized operations (deletion and contraction) and a generalized polynomial based on…

Topological drawings are natural representations of graphs in the plane, where vertices are represented by points, and edges by curves connecting the points. Topological drawings of complete graphs and of complete bipartite graphs have been…

In a closed 2-cell embedding of a graph each face is homeomorphic to an open disk and is bounded by a cycle in the graph. The Orientable Strong Embedding Conjecture says that every 2-connected graph has a closed 2-cell embedding in some…

Modular operads are a special type of operad: in fact, they bear the same relationship to operads that graphs do to trees (i.e. simply connected graphs). One of the basic examples of a modular operad is the collection of…

For a graph embedded into a surface, we relate many combinatorial parameters of the cycle matroid of the graph and the bond matroid of the dual graph with the topological parameters of the embedding. This will give an expression of the…

The edges surrounding a face of a map $M$ form a cycle $C$, called the boundary cycle of the face, and $C$ is often not a simple cycle. If the map $M$ is arc-transitive, then there is a cyclic subgroup of automorphisms of $M$ which leaves…

The Zero divisor Graph of a commutative ring $R$, denoted by $\Gamma[R]$, is a graph whose vertices are non-zero zero divisors of $R$ and two vertices are adjacent if their product is zero. We consider the zero divisor graph…

The symmetries of complex molecular structures can be modeled by the {\em topological symmetry group} of the underlying embedded graph. It is therefore important to understand which topological symmetry groups can be realized by particular…

The cycles of a graph give a natural cyclic ordering to their edge-sets, and these orderings are consistent in that two edges are adjacent in one cycle if and only if they are adjacent in every cycle in which they appear together. An…

For a graph $G = (V, E)$, the $\gamma$-graph of $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is the collection of minimum dominating sets, or $\gamma$-sets of $G$, and two $\gamma$-sets are adjacent if they differ by a single vertex and the two…

Consider an algebraic identity between elliptic modular graphs where several vertices are at fixed locations (and hence unintegrated) while the others are integrated over the toroidal worldsheet. At any unintegrated vertex, we can glue an…

The multivariate Tutte polynomial (known to physicists as the Potts-model partition function) can be defined on an arbitrary finite graph G, or more generally on an arbitrary matroid M, and encodes much important combinatorial information…

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…

We prove that for every surface $\Sigma$, the class of Eulerian directed graphs that are Eulerian embeddable into $\Sigma$ (in particular they have degree at most $4$) is well-quasi-ordered by strong immersion. This result marks one of the…
