A sequence $D = \{d_1,...d_n\}$ is a feasible degree sequence if there is a graph on $\{1,...,n\}$ such that $i$ has degree $d_i$. For such a sequence, $G(D)$ is a graph chosen uniformly at random from those with the given degree sequence.…

This paper makes some preliminary observations towards an extension of current work on graphs defined on groups to simplicial complexes. I define a variety of simplicial complexes on a group which are preserved by automorphisms of the…

The diameter of a graph is the maximum distance among all pairs of vertices. Thus a graph $G$ has diameter $d$ if any two vertices are at distance at most $d$ and there are two vertices at distance $d$. We are interested in studying the…

The matching complex of a graph is the simplicial complex whose vertex set is the set of edges of the graph with a face for each independent set of edges. In this paper we completely characterize the pairs (graph, matching complex) for…

A two-dimensional simplicial complex is called $d$-{\em regular} if every edge of it is contained in exactly $d$ distinct triangles. It is called $\epsilon$-expanding if its up-down two-dimensional random walk has a normalized maximal…

We estimate the minimum number of distance queries that is sufficient to reconstruct the binomial random graph $G(n,p)$ with constant diameter with high probability. We get a tight (up to a constant factor) answer for all $p>n^{-1+o(1)}$…

Tight triangulations are exotic, but highly regular objects in combinatorial topology. A triangulation is tight if all its piecewise linear embeddings into a Euclidean space are as convex as allowed by the topology of the underlying…

Motivated by potential applications in network theory, engineering and computer science, we study $r$-ample simplicial complexes. These complexes can be viewed as finite approximations to the Rado complex which has a remarkable property of…

For a set of distances $D$, a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is said to be $D$-magic if there exists a bijection $f:V\rightarrow \{1,2, \ldots , n\}$ and a constant $k$ such that for any vertex $x$, $\sum_{y\in N_D(x)} f(y) = k$, where…

We show that the size of the largest simple d-cycle in a simplicial d-complex $K$ is at least a square root of $K$'s density. This generalizes a well-known classical result of Erd\H{o}s and Gallai \cite{EG59} for graphs. We use methods from…

A \textit{diameter graph in $\mathbb R^d$} is a graph, whose set of vertices is a finite subset of $\mathbb R^d$ and whose set of edges is formed by pairs of vertices that are at diameter apart. This paper is devoted to the study of…

We develop a theory of limits for sequences of dense abstract simplicial complexes, where a sequence is considered convergent if its homomorphism densities converge. The limiting objects are represented by stacks of measurable [0,1]-valued…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in $d$-dimensions. The simplicial depth, $\sigma_P(q)$ of a point $q$ is the number of $d$-simplices with vertices in $P$ that contain $q$ in their convex hulls. The simplicial depth is a notion of data depth…

A simplicial polytope is a polytope with all its facets being combinatorially equivalent to simplices. We deal with the edge connectivity of the graphs of simplicial polytopes. We first establish that, for any $d\ge 3$, for any $d\ge 3$,…

C-projective structures are analogues of projective structures in the complex setting. The maximal dimension of the Lie algebra of c-projective symmetries of a complex connection on an almost complex manifold of C-dimension $n>1$ is…

We show that for fixed $d>3$ and $n$ growing to infinity there are at least $(n!)^{d-2 \pm o(1)}$ different labeled combinatorial types of $d$-polytopes with $n$ vertices. This is about the square of the previous best lower bounds. As an…

The colourful simplicial depth problem in dimension d is to find a configuration of (d+1) sets of (d+1) points such that the origin is contained in the convex hull of each set (colour) but contained in a minimal number of colourful…

A simplicial complex is $r$-conic if every subcomplex of at most $r$ vertices is contained in the star of a vertex. A $4$-conic complex is simply connected. We prove that an $8$-conic complex is $2$-connected. In general a $(2n+1)$-conic…

The orbital diameter of a primitive permutation group is the maximal diameter of its orbital graphs. There has been a lot of interest in bounds for the orbital diameter. In this paper we provide explicit bounds on the diameters of groups of…
