Let Delta_{n-1} denote the (n-1)-dimensional simplex. Let Y be a random k-dimensional subcomplex of Delta_{n-1} obtained by starting with the full (k-1)-dimensional skeleton of Delta_{n-1} and then adding each k-simplex independently with…

A graph $G$ is called collapsible if for every even subset $R\subseteq V(G)$, there is a spanning connected subgraph $H$ of $G$ such that $R$ is the set of vertices of odd degree in $H$. A graph is the reduction of $G$ if it is obtained…

A discrete d-manifold is a finite simple graph G=(V,E) where all unit spheres are (d-1)-spheres. A d-sphere is a d-manifold for which one can remove a vertex to make it contractible. A graph is contractible if one can remove a vertex with…

The Graph Minors Structure Theorem of Robertson and Seymour asserts that, for every graph $H,$ every $H$-minor-free graph can be obtained by clique-sums of ``almost embeddable'' graphs. Here a graph is ``almost embeddable'' if it can be…

We introduce and investigate $d$-convex union representable complexes: the complexes that arise as the nerve of a finite collection of convex open sets in $\mathbb R^d$ whose union is also convex. Chen, Frick, and Shiu recently proved that…

Let $G$ be a graph on $V$. A vertex subset $S \subset V$ is called a cover of $G$ if its complement is an independent set, and $S$ is called a noncover if it is not a cover of $G$. A noncover complex $NC(G)$ of $G$ is the simplicial complex…

We classify the finite type (in the sense of E. Cartan theory of prolongations) subalgebras $\mathfrak{h}\subset\mathfrak{sp}(V)$, where $V$ is the symplectic 4-dimensional space, and show that they satisfy $\mathfrak{h}^{(k)}=0$ for all…

We introduce a new family of pure simplicial complexes, called the $r$-co-connected complex of $G$ with respect to $A$, $\Sigma_r(A,G)$, where $r\geq 1$ is a natural number, $G$ is a simple graph, and $A$ is a subset of vertices.…

For a genus g handlebody H a simplicial complex, with vertices being isotopy classes of certain incompressible surfaces in H, is constructed and several properties are established. In particular, this complex naturally contains, as a…

Many simplicial complexes arising in practice have an associated metric space structure on the vertex set but not on the complex, e.g. the Vietoris-Rips complex in applied topology. We formalize a remedy by introducing a category of…

The degree of a map between orientable manifolds is a fundamental concept in topology, providing deep insights into the structure of manifolds and the behavior of maps between them. Recently, this notion has been extensively studied,…

(1) We show that if a presentation of the trivial group is "hard to trivialize", in the sense that lots of Tietze moves are necessary to transform it into the trivial presentation, then the associated presentation complex (which is a…

Motivated by the study of the non-parametric area $\mathcal A$ of the graph of the vortex map $u$ (a two-codimensional singular surface in $\mathbb R^4$) over the disc $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^2$ of radius $l$, we perform a careful…

Let $f_i(P)$ denote the number of $i$-dimensional faces of a convex polytope $P$. Furthermore, let $S(n,d)$ and $C(n,d)$ denote, respectively, the stacked and the cyclic $d$-dimensional polytopes on $n$ vertices. Our main result is that for…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a connected simple graph. The distance $d(u,v)$ between vertices $u$ and $v$ from $V$ is the number of edges in the shortest $u-v$ path. If $e=uv \in E$ is an edge in $G$ than distance $d(w,e)$ where $w$ is some vertex in…

An $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$ is semi-algebraic of complexity $\mathbf{t}=(d,D,m)$ if the vertices of $H$ correspond to points in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$, and the edges of $H$ are determined by the sign-pattern of $m$ degree-$D$ polynomials.…

Let $S$ be a finite set of positive integers. A mixed hypergraph ${\cal H}$ is a one-realization of $S$ if its feasible set is $S$ and each entry of its chromatic spectrum is either 0 or 1. In [P. Zhao, K. Diao, Y. Chang and K. Wang, The…

This paper develops a complete foundational treatment of simplicial complexes from Euclidean spaces through geometric realizations, emphasizing concrete computations, examples, and practical verification methods. Beginning with finite point…

We study Forman--Ricci and effective resistance curvatures on the skeleta of convex polytopes. Our guiding questions are: how frequently do polytopal graphs exhibit everywhere positive curvature, and what structural constraints does…

If V is the vertex sequence of a symmetric 2t-cycle in the hypercube graph with the vertices {1,-1}^t, then for any vertex T of the graph there exists a unique inclusion-minimal subset of V such that T is the sum of its elements. We present…
