In a number of recent papers, (k+l)-graphs have been constructed from k-graphs by inserting new edges in the last l dimensions. These constructions have been motivated by C*-algebraic considerations, so they have not been treated…

We introduce the notion of a topological higher-rank graph, a unified generalization of the higher-rank graph and the topological graph. Using groupoid techniques, we define the Toeplitz and Cuntz-Krieger algebras of topological higher-rank…

The generalized $k$-connectivity $\kappa_k(G)$ of a graph $G$, introduced by Hager in 1985, is a nice generalization of the classical connectivity. Recently, as a natural counterpart, we proposed the concept of generalized…

k-graphs are higher-rank analogues of directed graphs which were first developed to provide combinatorial models for operator algebras of Cuntz-Krieger type. Here we develop the theory of covering spaces for k-graphs, obtaining a…

The vertices of a $k$-token graph of a graph $G$ correspond to $k$ indistinguishable tokens placed on $k$ different vertices of $G$. Changing some conditions on both the nature of the tokens and the number of tokens allowed in each vertex…

The generalized $k$-connectivity $\kappa_k(G)$ of a graph $G$ was introduced by Hager before 1985. As its a natural counterpart, we introduced the concept of generalized edge-connectivity $\lambda_k(G)$, recently. In this paper we summarize…

We introduce a new family of higher-rank graphs, whose construction was inspired by the graphical techniques of Lambek \cite{Lambek} and Johnstone \cite{Johnstone} used for monoid and category emedding results. We show that they are planar…

Given a row-finite, source-free, graph of rank k, we extend the definition of reduction introduced by Eckhardt et al. This constitutes a large step forward in the extension of the geometric classification of finite directed graph…

Higher-rank graphs are, as the name suggests, higher-dimensional analogues of directed graphs which we will define using category theory. The whole idea of my project was to construct what we call a Baumslag-Solitar graph, a higher-rank…

The generalized $k$-connectivity $\kappa_k(G)$ of a graph $G$, introduced by Chartrand et al., is a natural and nice generalization of the concept of (vertex-)connectivity. In this paper, we prove that for any two connected graphs $G$ and…

k-graphs are higher-rank analogues of directed graphs which were first developed to provide combinatorial models for operator algebras of Cuntz-Krieger type. Here we develop a theory of the fundamental groupoid of a k-graph, and relate it…

We construct a family of groups from suitable higher rank graphs which are analogues of the finite symmetric groups. We introduce homological invariants showing that many of our groups are, for example, not isomorphic to $nV$, when $n \geq…

The generalized $k$-connectivity $\kappa_k(G)$ of a graph $G$ was introduced by Chartrand et al. in 1984. It is natural to introduce the concept of generalized $k$-edge-connectivity $\lambda_k(G)$. For general $k$, the generalized…

We provide groupoid models for Toeplitz and Cuntz-Krieger algebras of topological higher-rank graphs. Extending the groupoid models used in the theory of graph algebras and topological dynamical systems to our setting, we prove results on…

We unite elements of category theory, K-theory, and geometric group theory, by defining a class of groups called $k$-cube groups, which act freely and transitively on the product of $k$ trees, for arbitrary $k$. The quotient of this action…

We investigate topological realizations of higher-rank graphs. We show that the fundamental group of a higher-rank graph coincides with the fundamental group of its topological realization. We also show that topological realization of…

We use category-theoretic techniques to provide two proofs showing that for a higher-rank graph $\Lambda$, its cubical (co-)homology and categorical (co-)homology groups are isomorphic in all degrees, thus answering a question of Kumjian,…

We introduce a new method of expressing a $k$-graph $C^*$-algebra as a Cuntz-Pimsner algebra. Kumjian, Pask, and Sims have done this directly, using a linking algebra approach and a $(k-1)$-graph algebra. This can be iterated downward. Our…

We define $k$-dimensional digraphs and initiate a study of their spectral theory. The $k$-dimensional digraphs can be viewed as generating graphs for small categories called $k$-graphs. Guided by geometric insight, we obtain several new…
