We develop a general diagrammatic theory of welded graphs, and provide an extension of Satoh's Tube map from welded graphs to ribbon surface-links. As a topological application, we obtain a complete link-homotopy classification of so-called…

The criteria for determining graph isomorphism are crucial for solving graph isomorphism problems. The necessary condition is that two isomorphic graphs possess invariants, but their function can only be used to filtrate and subdivide…

Let $G$ be a graph and let $\mathrm{cl}(G)$ be the number of distinct induced cycle lengths in $G$. We show that for $c,t\in \mathbb N$, every graph $G$ that does not contain an induced subgraph isomorphic to $K_{t+1}$ or $K_{t,t}$ and…

In this paper a classification of Reidemeister moves, which is the most refined, is introduced. In particular, this classification distinguishes some $\Omega_3$-moves that only differ in how the three strands that are involved in the move…

Let $G$ be a graph and $I(G)$ its edge ideal. In this paper, we completely determine the tuples $(\dim R/I(G), \depth (R/I(G)), \reg (R/I(G)))$ when the number of vertices is fixed for any graphs $G$.

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a bipartite graph embedded in a plane (or $n$-holed torus). Two subgraphs of $G$ differ by a {\it $Z$-transformation} if their symmetric difference consists of the boundary edges of a single face---and if each subgraph…

A conjecture of Barnette states that every 3-connected cubic bipartite plane graph has a Hamilton cycle, which is equivalent to the statement that every simple even plane triangulation admits a partition of its vertex set into two subsets…

The classical Whitney's 2-Isomorphism Theorem describes the families of graphs having the same cycle matroid. In this paper we describe the families of graphs having the same truncated cycle matroid and prove, in particular, that every…

We say that a graph is intrinsically non-trivial if every spatial embedding of the graph contains a non-trivial spatial subgraph. We prove that an intrinsically non-trivial graph is intrinsically linked, namely every spatial embedding of…

If a graph $G$ can be embedded on the torus, and be embedded linklessly in $\mathbb{R}^3$, it's not known whether or not we can always find a linkless embedding of $G$ contained in the standard (unknotted) torus; We show that, for orders 9…

Spectral graph theory studies how the eigenvalues of a graph relate to the structural properties of a graph. In this paper, we solve three open problems in spectral extremal graph theory which generalize the classical Tur\'{a}n-type…

We prove that for any parameter r an r-locally 2-connected graph G embeds r-locally planarly in a surface if and only if a certain matroid associated to the graph G is co-graphic. This extends Whitney's abstract planar duality theorem from…

The paper shows that almost every $n$-vertex graph is such that the multiset of its induced subgraphs on $3 \log_2{n}$ vertices is sufficient to determine it up to isomorphism. Therefore, for checking the isomorphism of a pair of $n$-vertex…

In this note we give a short and elementary proof of a more general version of Whitney's theorem that 3-connected planar graphs have a unique embedding in the plane. A consequence of the theorem is that cubic plane graphs cannot be embedded…

We use the tropical geometry approach to compute absolute and relative Gromov-Witten invariants of complex surfaces which are $\CC P^1$-bundles over an elliptic curve. We also show that the tropical multiplicity used to count curves can be…

In this monography, it is proposed to consider the concepts of spectra of edge cuts and edge cycles of a graph as a basic mathematical structure for solving the problem of graph isomorphism. An edge cut is defined by an edge and the…

We show that the strongly regular graph on non-isotropic points of one type of the polar spaces of type $U(n, 2)$, $O(n, 3)$, $O(n, 5)$, $O^+(n, 3)$, and $O^-(n, 3)$ are not determined by its parameters for $n \geq 6$. We prove this by…

We prove that for any finite tree $T$ with $n$ vertices and maximal degree $3$, there is a topological embedding of $T$ into the integer grid $Z^2$ which maps vertices to vertices and whose image meets at most $\frac{7}{3}n$ vertices. This…

The problem of graph isomorphism is an important but challenging problem in the field of graph analysis, for example: analyzing the similarity of two chemical molecules, or studying the expressive ability of graph neural networks. WL test…

The weak variant of Hanani-Tutte theorem says that a graph is planar, if it can be drawn in the plane so that every pair of edges cross an even number of times. Moreover, we can turn such a drawing into an embedding without changing the…
