O'Donnell, Wright, Wu and Zhou [SODA 2014] introduced the notion of robustly asymmetric graphs. Roughly speaking, these are graphs in which for every $0 \le \rho \le 1$, every permutation that permutes a $\rho$ fraction of the vertices maps…
Based on our previous graph covering method, we introduce weighted graph covering models and flexible graph covering models that are almost equivalent to the well-known Bratteli--Vershik models. These models play important roles in showing…
Generalizations of classical theta functions are proposed that include any even number of analytic parameters for which conditions of quasi-periodicity are fulfilled and that are representations of extended Heisenberg group. Differential…
Very high energy physics needs a coherent description of the four fundamental forces. Non-commutative geometry is a promising mathematical framework which already allowed to unify the general relativity and the standard model, at the…
Let the matching polynomial of a graph $G$ be denoted by $\mu (G,x)$. A graph $G$ is said to be $\theta$-super positive if $\mu(G,\theta)\neq 0$ and $\mu(G\setminus v,\theta)=0$ for all $v\in V(G)$. In particular, $G$ is 0-super positive if…
The second author's $\omega$, $\Delta$, $\chi$ conjecture proposes that every graph satisties $\chi \leq \lceil \frac 12 (\Delta+1+\omega)\rceil$. In this paper we prove that the conjecture holds for all claw-free graphs. Our approach uses…
Weight systems are functions on chord diagrams satisfying so-called Vassiliev's $4$-term relations. They are closely related to finite type knot invariants introduced by Vassiliev. Certain weight systems can be derived from graph…
In this paper we show that Leavitt path algebras of weighted graphs and Leavitt path algebras of separated graphs are intimately related. We prove that any Leavitt path algebra $L(E,\omega)$ of a row-finite vertex weighted graph…
We give a closed formula for Lovasz theta number of the powers of cycle graphs and of their complements, the circular complete graphs. As a consequence, we establish that the circular chromatic number of a circular perfect graph is…
Drawing on analogies with the commutative case, the Wilsonian picture of renormalization is developed for noncommutative scalar field theory. The dimensionful noncommutativity parameter, theta, induces several new features. Fixed-points are…
For cardinals lambda, kappa, theta we consider the class of graphs of cardinality lambda which has no subgraph which is (kappa, theta)-complete bipartite graph. The question is whether in such a class there is a universal one under (weak)…
In this short note we prove a lower bound for the MaxCut of a graph in terms of the Lov\'asz theta function of its complement. We combine this with known bounds on the Lov\'asz theta function of complements of $H$-free graphs to recover…
A weight-dependent generalization of the binomial theorem for noncommuting variables is presented. This result extends the well-known binomial theorem for q-commuting variables by a generic weight function depending on two integers. For a…
A theta is a graph formed by three paths between the same pair of distinct vertices so that the union of any two of the paths induces a hole. A wheel is a graph formed by a hole and a node that has at least 3 neighbors in the hole. In this…
A graphical expansion formula for non-commutative matrix integrals with values in a finite-dimensional real or complex von Neumann algebra is obtained in terms of ribbon graphs and their non-orientable counterpart called Moebius graphs. The…
We present a generalization of bilateral weighted shift operators for the noncommutative multivariable setting. We discover a notion of periodicity for these shifts, which has an appealing diagramatic interpretation in terms of an infinite…
A theta is a graph consisting of two non-adjacent vertices and three internally disjoint paths between them, each of length at least two. For a family $\mathcal{H}$ of graphs, we say a graph $G$ is $\mathcal{H}$-free if no induced subgraph…
Consider the real vector space of formal sums of non-empty, finite unoriented graphs without multiple edges and loops. Let the vertices of graphs be unlabelled but let every graph $\gamma$ be endowed with an ordered set of edges…
We introduce a new and extensive theory of noncommutative convexity along with a corresponding theory of noncommutative functions. We establish noncommutative analogues of the fundamental results from classical convexity theory, and apply…
The focus of this PhD thesis is on applications, new developments and extensions of the noncommutative gravity theory proposed by Julius Wess and his group. In part one we propose an extension of the usual symmetry reduction procedure to…
