We prove that with high probability over the choice of a random graph $G$ from the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi distribution $G(n,1/2)$, a natural $n^{O(\varepsilon^2 \log n)}$-time, degree $O(\varepsilon^2 \log n)$ sum-of-squares semidefinite program…

The chromatic symmetric function of a graph is a generalization of the chromatic polynomial. The key motivation for studying the structure of a chromatic symmetric function is to answer positivity conjectures by Stanley in 1995 and Gasharov…

We review and extend recent findings of Godsil and Zaks, who published a constructive coloring of the rational unit sphere with the property that for any orthogonal tripod formed by rays extending from the origin of the points of the…

We compute the cohomology ring of a generalised type of configuration space of points in $\mathbb{R}^r$. This configuration space is indexed by a graph. In the case the graph is complete the result is known and it is due to Arnold and…

By proving graph theoretical versions of Green-Stokes, Gauss-Bonnet and Poincare-Hopf, core ideas of undergraduate mathematics can be illustrated in a simple graph theoretical setting. In this pedagogical exposition we present the main…

A generalized transport theorem for convecting irregular domains is presented in the setting of Federer's geometric measure theory. A prototypical $r$-dimensional domain is viewed as a flat $r$-chain of finite mass in an open set of an…

We prove the following generalisation of Schauder's fixed point conjecture: Let $C_1,...,C_n$ be convex subsets of a Hausdorff topological vector space. Suppose that the $C_i$ are closed in $C=C_1\cup...\cup C_n$. If $f:C\to C$ is a…

We study a problem proposed by Hurtado et al. (2016) motivated by sparse set visualization. Given $n$ points in the plane, each labeled with one or more primary colors, a \emph{colored spanning graph} (CSG) is a graph such that for each…

We give a short and much simplified proof of the main theorem of the recent study, by T. Barthel, M. Hausmann, N. Naumann, T. Nikolaus, J. Noel, and N. Stapleton, of the Balmer spectrum for A-equivariant stable homotopy when A is a finite…

The well-known Steinberg's conjecture asserts that any planar graph without 4- and 5-cycles is 3 colorable. In this note we have given a short algorithmic proof of this conjecture based on the spiral chains of planar graphs proposed in the…

Hoffman's bound is a well-known spectral bound on the chromatic number of a graph, known to be tight for instance for bipartite graphs. While Hoffman colorings (colorings attaining the bound) were studied before for regular graphs, for…

We study whether symplectic quandle colorings can reveal causal structure encoded by "sky links" - i.e. links consisting of spheres of all light rays through two points in the space of all light rays of a spacetime. Building on the known…

The proof uses the property that the vertices of a triangulated planar graph can be four coloured if the triangles can have a +1 or -1 orientation so that the sum of the triangle orientations around each vertex is a multiple of 3. Such…

Given $d+1$ sets, or colours, $S_1, S_2,...,S_{d+1}$ of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, a {\em colourful} set is a set $S\subseteq\bigcup_i S_i$ such that $|S\cap S_i|\leq 1$ for $i=1,...,d+1$. The convex hull of a colourful set $S$ is called a…
