The paper studies the connectivity properties of facet graphs of simplicial complexes of combinatorial interest. In particular, it is shown that the facet graphs of $d$-cycles, $d$-hypertrees and $d$-hypercuts are, respectively, $(d+1)$,…

We prove that 2-dimensional simplicial complexes whose first homology group is trivial have topological embeddings in 3-space if and only if there are embeddings of their link graphs in the plane that are compatible at the edges and they…

We call a polytope P of dimension 3 admissible if it has the following two properties: (1) for each vertex of P the set of its first-neighbours is coplanar; (2) all planes determined by the first-neighbours are distinct. It is shown that…

A digraph $D$ is an oriented graph if $D$ does not have a pair of opposite arcs. The degree of a vertex $v$ of $D$ is the sum of the in-degree and out-degree of $v.$ Let $fvs(D)$ be the minimum number of vertices whose deletion from $D$…

A triangulation of a simplicial complex $\Delta$ is called uniform if the $f$-vector of its restriction to a face of $\Delta$ depends only on the dimension of that face. This paper proves that the entries of the $h$-vector of a uniform…

Vertical decomposition is a widely used general technique for decomposing the cells of arrangements of semi-algebraic sets in ${{\mathbb R}}^d$ into constant-complexity subcells. In this paper, we settle in the affirmative a few…

Given a simple undirected graph $G$ there is a simplicial complex $\mathrm{Ind}(G)$, called the independence complex, whose faces correspond to the independent sets of $G$. This is a well studied concept because it provides a fertile ground…

In this paper we consider a family of simplicial complexes, which we call the view complexes. Our choice of objects of study is motivated by theoretical distributed computing, since the view complex is a key simplicial construction used for…

Classical methods to model topological properties of point clouds, such as the Vietoris-Rips complex, suffer from the combinatorial explosion of complex sizes. We propose a novel technique to approximate a multi-scale filtration of the Rips…

The classical problem of degree sequence realizability asks whether or not a given sequence of $n$ positive integers is equal to the degree sequence of some $n$-vertex undirected simple graph. While the realizability problem of degree…

Ehrenborg, Govindaiah, Park, and Readdy recently introduced the van der Waerden complex, a pure simplicial complex whose facets correspond to arithmetic progressions. Using techniques from combinatorial commutative algebra, we classify when…

There is a Rota-Baxter algebra structure on the field $A=\mathbf{k}((t))$ with $ P$ being the projection map $A=\mathbf{k}[[t]]\oplus t^{-1}\mathbf{k}[t^{-1}]$ onto $ \mathbf{k}[[ t]]$. We study the representation theory and…

For any finite set $\mathcal{H} = \{H_1,\ldots,H_p\}$ of graphs, a graph is $\mathcal{H}$-subgraph-free if it does not contain any of $H_1,\ldots,H_p$ as a subgraph. In recent work, meta-classifications have been studied: these show that if…

For both the edge deletion heuristic and the maximum-degree greedy heuristic, we study the problem of recognizing those graphs for which that heuristic can approximate the size of a minimum vertex cover within a constant factor of r, where…

A polygonal complex in euclidean 3-space is a discrete polyhedron-like structure with finite or infinite polygons as faces and finite graphs as vertex-figures, such that a fixed number r of faces surround each edge. It is said to be regular…

Motivated by topological Tverberg-type problems and by classical results about embeddings (maps without double points), we study the question whether a finite simplicial complex K can be mapped into R^d without triple, quadruple, or, more…

For any fixed positive integer $r$ and a given budget $k$, the $r$-\textsc{Eigenvalue Vertex Deletion} ($r$-EVD) problem asks if a graph $G$ admits a subset $S$ of at most $k$ vertices such that the adjacency matrix of $G\setminus S$ has at…

We show that for a generic $8$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with positive Ricci curvature, there exists a smooth minimal hypersurface. Without the curvature condition, we show that for a dense set of 8-dimensional Riemannian metrics…

For a connected graph $\Gamma=(V,E)$, a subset $R$ of ordered vertices in $V$ is said to be a resolving set in $\Gamma$, if the vector of distances to the vertices in $R$ is unique for each $u^{i}\in V(\Gamma)$. The metric dimension of…
