Let X and Y be infinite graphs, such that the automorphism group of X is nonamenable, and the automorphism group of Y has an infinite orbit. We prove that there is no automorphism-invariant measure on the set of spanning trees in the direct…

In an early work from 1896, Maschke established the complete list of all finite planar Cayley graphs. This result initiated a long line of research over the next century, aiming at characterizing in a similar way all planar infinite Cayley…

We prove that for any positive integers $k$ and $d$, if a graph $G$ has maximum average degree at most $2k + \frac{2d}{d+k+1}$, then $G$ decomposes into $k+1$ pseudoforests $C_{1},\ldots,C_{k+1}$ such that there is an $i$ such that for…

Inspired by Stufler's recent probabilistic proof of Otter's asymptotic number of unlabeled trees, we revisit work of Palmer and Schwenk, and study unlabeled forests from a probabilistic point of view. We show that the number of trees in a…

We introduce a comprehensive data structure, tangle structure trees, which simultaneously displays all the $\mathcal{F}$-tangles of an abstract separation system for very general obstruction sets $\mathcal{F}$. It simultaneously also…

Given a graph, we can form a spanning forest by first sorting the edges in some order, and then only keep edges incident to a vertex which is not incident to any previous edge. The resulting forest is dependent on the ordering of the edges,…

We prove a generalization of Kirchhoff's matrix-tree theorem in which a large class of combinatorial objects are represented by non-Gaussian Grassmann integrals. As a special case, we show that unrooted spanning forests, which arise as a q…

This note presents an encoding and a decoding algorithms for a forest of (labelled) rooted uniform hypertrees and hypercycles in linear time, by using as few as $n - 2$ integers in the range $[1,n]$. It is a simple extension of the…

A set of \( k \) spanning trees in a graph \( G \) is called a set of \textit{completely independent spanning trees (CISTs)} if, for every pair of vertices \( x \) and \( y \), the paths connecting \( x \) and \( y \) across different trees…

For a transitive infinite connected graph $G$, let $\mu(G)$ be its connective constant. Denote by $\mathbf{\cal G}$ the set of Cayley graphs for finitely generated infinite groups with an infinite-order generator which is independent of…

Muller and Schupp introduced the concept of context-free graphs (originating from Cayley graphs of context-free groups). These graphs are always tree-like (i.e. quasi-isometric to a tree) and in this paper we investigate the subclass of…

We show that, if $H$ is a random subgroup of a finitely generated free group $F_k$, only inner automorphisms of $F_k$ may leave $H$ invariant. A similar result holds for random subgroups of toral relatively hyperbolic groups, more generally…

Considering systems of separations in a graph that separate every pair of a given set of vertex sets that are themselves not separated by these separations, we determine conditions under which such a separation system contains a nested…

The groups QF, QT, and QV are groups of quasi-automorphisms of the infinite binary tree. Their names indicate a similarity with Thompson's well-known groups F, T, and V. We will use the theory of diagram groups over semigroup presentations…

The uniform spanning forest (USF) in Z^d is the weak limit of random, uniformly chosen, spanning trees in [-n,n]^d. Pemantle proved that the USF consists a.s. of a single tree if and only if d <= 4. We prove that any two components of the…
