In this paper, we consider the Hessian matrices $H_{\Gamma}$ of the complete and complete bipartite graphs, and the special value of $\tilde H_{\Gamma}$ at $x_{i}=1$ for all $x_{i}$. We compute the eigenvalues of $\tilde H_{\Gamma}$. We…

We study the generating function of rooted and unrooted hyperforests in a general complete hypergraph with n vertices by using a novel Grassmann representation of their generating functions. We show that this new approach encodes the known…
Homogeneous matroids are characterized by the property that strength equals fractional arboricity, and arise in the study of base modulus [22]. For graphic matroids, Cunningham [9] provided efficient algorithms for calculating graph…
Extending the elementary and complete homogeneous symmetric functions, we introduce the truncated homogeneous symmetric function $h_{\lambda}^{\dd}$ in $(\ref{THSF})$ for any integer partition $\lambda$, and show that the transition matrix…
A well-known conjecture of Richard Stanley posits that the $h$-vector of the independence complex of a matroid is a pure ${\mathcal O}$-sequence. The conjecture has been established for various classes but is open for graphic matroids. A…
Recently we introduced the hypergraph matrix model (HMM), a Hermitian matrix model generalizing the classical Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE). In this model the Gaussians of the GUE, whose moments count partitions of finite sets into pairs,…
Asymptotic expansions of Gaussian integrals may often be interpreted as generating functions for certain combinatorial objects (graphs with additional data). In this article we discuss a general approach to all such cases using colored…
We study aspects of the enumeration of permutation classes, sets of permutations closed downwards under the subpermutation order. First, we consider monotone grid classes of permutations. We present procedures for calculating the generating…
In [27], we provided results on the $p$-modulus of the family of all bases of matroids and showed that it recovers various concepts in matroid theory, including strength, fractional arboricity, and principal partitions. In particular, the…
The Exponential Formula allows one to enumerate any class of combinatorial objects built by choosing a set of connected components and placing a structure on each connected component which depends only on its size. There are multiple…
As an extension of a classical tree-partition problem, we consider decompositions of graphs into edge-disjoint (rooted-)trees with an additional matroid constraint. Specifically, suppose we are given a graph $G=(V,E)$, a multiset…
Let $M$ be a mixed graph and $H(M)$ be its Hermitian-adjacency matrix. If we add every edge and arc in $M$ a Randi\'c weight, then we can get a new weighted Hermitian-adjacency matrix. What are the properties of this new matrix? Motivated…
For a graph G, the generating function of rooted forests, counted by the number of connected components, can be expressed in terms of the eigenvalues of the graph Laplacian. We generalize this result from graphs to cell complexes of…
We consider the lower-triangular matrix of generating polynomials that enumerate $k$-component forests of rooted trees on the vertex set $[n]$ according to the number of improper edges (generalizations of the Ramanujan polynomials). We show…
This paper initiates the study of the "Laplacian simplex" $T_G$ obtained from a finite graph $G$ by taking the convex hull of the columns of the Laplacian matrix for $G$. Basic properties of these simplices are established, and then a…
Anari, Gharan, and Vinzant proved (complete) log-concavity of the basis generating functions for all matroids. From the viewpoint of combinatorial Hodge theory, it is natural to ask whether these functions are "strictly" log-concave for…
In this paper, we study Hermitian quaternion Toeplitz matrices generated by quaternion-valued functions. We show that such generating function must be the sum of a real-valued function and an odd function with imaginary component. This…
Let $T$ be an $n\times n$ truncation of an $(n+\alpha)\times (n+\alpha)$ Haar distributed unitary matrix. We consider the disk counting statistics of the eigenvalues of $T$. We prove that as $n\to + \infty$ with $\alpha$ fixed, the…
A graph $G$ is factored into graphs $H$ and $K$ via a matrix product if there exist adjacency matrices $A$, $B$, and $C$ of $G$, $H$, and $K$, respectively, such that $A = BC$. In this paper, we study the spectral aspects of the matrix…
