Given a graph G, we investigate the question of determining the parity of the number of homomorphisms from G to some other fixed graph H. We conjecture that this problem exhibits a complexity dichotomy, such that all parity graph…

We extend the notion of graph homomorphism to cellularly embedded graphs (maps) by designing operations on vertices and edges that respect the surface topology; we thus obtain the first definition of map homomorphism that preserves both the…

A graph homomorphism between two graphs is a map from the vertex set of one graph to the vertex set of the other graph, that maps edges to edges. In this note we study the range of a uniformly chosen homomorphism from a graph G to the…

We extend the notion of 'homomorphism-homogeneity' to a wider class of kinds of maps than previously studied, and we investigate the relations between the resulting notions of homomorphism-homogeneity, giving several examples. We also give…

A function $f$ of a graph is called a complete graph invariant if the isomorphism of graphs $G$ and $H$ is equivalent to the equality $f(G)=f(H)$. If, in addition, $f(G)$ is a graph isomorphic to $G$, then $f$ is called a canonical form for…

We construct a pair of non-isomorphic, bipartite graphs which are not distinguished by counting the number of homomorphisms to any tree. This answers a question motivated by Atserias et al. (LICS 2021). In order to establish the…

We answer a recent question of Cs\'oka and Vidny\'anszky [arXiv:2407.10006] and give an alternate proof of one of their results. The subject of both is which finite graphs admit factor of i.i.d. homomorphisms from the 3-regular tree. We…

The concept of an omnigenous locally finite group was introduced in [2] as a generalization of Hall's universal countable locally finite group. In this paper we show that the class of all countable omnigenous locally finite groups is Borel…

We prove that graphs G, G' satisfy the same sentences of first-order logic with counting of quantifier rank at most k if and only if they are homomorphism-indistinguishable over the class of all graphs of tree depth at most k. Here G, G'…

The study of very large graphs is a prominent theme in modern-day mathematics. In this paper we develop a rigorous foundation for studying the space of finite labelled graphs and their limits. These limiting objects are naturally countable…

In this article, we introduce a notion of polygraphic homology of a strict $\omega$-category with coefficients in a local system, generalizing the polygraphic homology with coefficients in $\mathbb Z$, introduced by Fran\c{c}ois M\'etayer.…

Counting graph homomorphisms and its generalizations such as the Counting Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP), its variations, and counting problems in general have been intensively studied since the pioneering work of Valiant. While the…

We prove that the coindex of the box complex $\mathrm{B}(H)$ of a graph $H$ can be measured by the generalised Mycielski graphs which admit a homomorphism to it. As a consequence, we exhibit for every graph $H$ a system of linear equations…

The distinguishing number of a graph $G$ is the smallest positive integer $r$ such that $G$ has a labeling of its vertices with $r$ labels for which there is no non-trivial automorphism of $G$ preserving these labels. Albertson and Collins…

We investigate a notion of $\times$-homotopy of graph maps that is based on the internal hom associated to the categorical product in the category of graphs. It is shown that graph $\times$-homotopy is characterized by the topological…

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 consider the complexity of counting homomorphisms from an $r$-uniform hypergraph $G$ to a symmetric $r$-ary relation $H$. We give a dichotomy theorem for $r>2$, showing for which $H$ this problem is in FP and for which $H$ it is…
