Recently, there is growing interest in the use of relative homology algebra to develop invariants using interval covers and interval resolutions (i.e., right minimal approximations and resolutions relative to interval-decomposable modules)…
We study the undirected divisibility graph in which the vertex set is a finite subset of consecutive natural numbers up to N.We derive analytical expressions for measures of the graph like degree, clustering, geodesic distance and…
Shellings of simplicial complexes have long been a useful tool in topological and algebraic combinatorics. Shellings of a complex expose a large amount of information in a helpful way, but are not easy to construct, often requiring deep…
We survey old and new results on the existence of moduli spaces of semistable coherent sheaves both in algebraic and in complex geometry.
Using the random complexes of Linial and Meshulam, we exhibit a large family of simplicial complexes for which, whenever affinely embedded into Euclidean space, the filling areas of simplicial cycles is greatly distorted. This phenomenon…
A cocomparability graph is a graph whose complement admits a transitive orientation. An interval graph is the intersection graph of a family of intervals on the real line. In this paper we investigate the relationships between interval and…
We prove tight upper bounds for the number of vertices of a simple polygon that is the union or the intersection of two simple polygons with given numbers of convex and concave vertices. The similar question on graphs of the lower (or…
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…
We disprove a long-standing open conjecture due to Simon stating that all skeleta of simplices are extendably shellable. In particular, for every $d \geq 3$ we provide a pure $d$-dimensional shellable simplicial complex which is not…
Flip graphs of combinatorial and geometric objects are at the heart of many deep structural insights and connections between different branches of discrete mathematics and computer science. They also provide a natural framework for the…
This note aims to bring attention to a simple class of discrete dynamical systems exhibiting some complex behaviour. Each of these systems is defined as a self-mapping of the unit square and is obtained by coupling two families of…
Generalizing the notion of split graphs to uniform hypergraphs, we prove that the class of these hypergraphs can be characterized by a finite list of excluded induced subhypergraphs. We show that a characterization by generalized degree…
Graph embeddings have emerged as a powerful tool for representing complex network structures in a low-dimensional space, enabling the use of efficient methods that employ the metric structure in the embedding space as a proxy for the…
In a paired threshold graph, each vertex has a weight, and two vertices are adjacent if their weight sum is large enough and their weight difference is small enough. It generalizes threshold graphs and unit interval graphs, both very well…
The weak minor G of a graph G is the graph obtained from G by a sequence of edge-contraction operations on G. A weak-minor-closed family of upper embeddable graphs is a set G of upper embeddable graphs that for each graph G in G, every weak…
Unitary graphs are arc-transitive graphs with vertices the flags of Hermitian unitals and edges defined by certain elements of the underlying finite fields. They played a significant role in a recent classification of a class of…
We show that large subsets of vector spaces over finite fields determine certain point configurations with prescribed distance structure. More specifically, we consider the complete graph with vertices as the points of $A \subseteq…
Let X be a complex algebraic variety, and L(X) be the scheme of formal arcs in X. Let f be an arc whose image is not contained in the singularities of X. We show that the formal neighborhood of f in L(X) admits a decomposition into a…
An h-tiling on a finite simplicial complex is a partition of its geometric realization by maximal simplices deprived of several codimension one faces together with possibly their remaining face of highest codimension. In this last case, the…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph. If $G$ is a K\"onig graph or $G$ is a graph without 3-cycles and 5-cycle, we prove that the following conditions are equivalent: $\Delta_{G}$ is pure shellable, $R/I_{\Delta}$ is Cohen-Macaulay, $G$ is unmixed…
