The fractional stable set polytope ${\rm FRAC}(G)$ of a simple graph $G$ with $d$ vertices is a rational polytope that is the set of nonnegative vectors $(x_1,\ldots,x_d)$ satisfying $x_i+x_j\le 1$ for every edge $(i,j)$ of $G$. In this…

We characterize the edges of two classes of $0/1$-polytopes. The first class corresponds to the stable set polytope of a graph $G$ and includes chain polytopes of posets, some instances of matroid independence polytopes, as well as…

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph and let $I_G$ denote its associated toric ideal in the polynomial ring $R$. For each integer $n\geq 2$, we completely determine all the possible values for the tuple $({\rm reg}(R/I_G), {\rm…

Stable gonality is a multigraph parameter that measures the complexity of a graph. It is defined using maps to trees. Those maps, in some sense, divide the edges equally over the edges of the tree; stable gonality asks for the map with the…

The Perfect Graph Theorems are important results in graph theory describing the relationship between clique number $\omega(G) $ and chromatic number $\chi(G) $ of a graph $G$. A graph $G$ is called \emph{perfect} if $\chi(H)=\omega(H)$ for…

The stability number of a graph G, is the cardinality of a stable set of maximum size in G. If the stability number of G remains the same upon the addition of any edge, then G is called $\alpha ^{+}$-stable. G is a K\"{o}nig-Egervary graph…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $p\in \pi(G)$, and let Irr$(G)$ be the set of all irreducible complex characters of $G$. Let $\chi \in {\rm Irr}(G)$, we write ${\rm cod}(\chi)=|G:{\rm ker} \chi|/\chi(1)$, and called it the codegree of the…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\mathrm{Irr}(G)$ the set of all irreducible complex characters of $G$. Define the codegree of $\chi \in \mathrm{Irr}(G)$ as $\mathrm{cod}(\chi):=\frac{|G:\mathrm{ker}(\chi) |}{\chi(1)}$ and denote by…

Despite the fact that some vertex coloring problems are polynomially solvable on certain graph classes, most of these problems are not "under control" from a polyhedral point of view. The equivalence between \emph{optimization} and…

The convex hull of the set of the incidence vectors of the matchings of a graph G is the matching polytope of the graph, M(G). The graph whose vertices and edges are the vertices and edges of M(G) is the skeleton of the matching polytope of…

The lattice size $\operatorname{ls_\Delta}(P)$ of a lattice polytope $P$ is a geometric invariant, which was formally introduced in relation to the problem of bounding the total degree and the bi-degree of the defining equation of an…

For a Riemannian polyhedra, we study the geometry of the unit ball for the unidimensional stable norm (stable ball). In the case of a unidimensional Riemannian polyhedra (graph), we show that the stable ball is a polytope whose vertices are…

A general (convex) polytope $P\subset\mathbb R^d$ and its edge-graph $G_P$ can have very distinct symmetry properties. We construct a coloring (of the vertices and edges) of the edge-graph so that the combinatorial symmetry group of the…

For an arbitrary invariant $\rho (G)$ of a graph $G$, the $\rho-$vertex stability number $vs_{\rho}(G)$ is the minimum number of vertices of $G$ whose removal results in a graph $H\subseteq G$ with $\rho (H)\neq \rho (G)$ or with…

In this paper, we give a criterion of the Gorenstein property of the Ehrhart ring of the stable set polytope of an h-perfect graph: the Ehrhart ring of the stable set polytope of an h-perfect graph $G$ is Gorenstein if and only if (1) sizes…

We find families of graphs $G$ and subgraphs $H$ of $G$ such that the number of edge colorings of $G$ avoiding a monochromatic coloring of $H$ is determined by lattice point counts or a Hodge structure on the cohomology of a certain toric…

Frei et al. [6] showed that the problem to decide whether a graph is stable with respect to some graph parameter under adding or removing either edges or vertices is $\Theta_2^{\text{P}}$-complete. They studied the common graph parameters…

Unconditional polytopes are convex polytopes that are symmetric with respect to all coordinate hyperplanes and arise naturally from anti-blocking polytopes by reflection. This paper investigates algebraic relations between an anti-blocking…

A matching set $M$ in a graph $G$ is a collection of edges of $G$ such that no two edges from $M$ share a vertex. In this paper we consider some parameters related to the matching of regular graphs. We find the sixth coefficient of the…

Let A be an ample line bundle on a projective toric variety X of dimension n. We show that if l>=n-1+p, then A^l satisfies the property N_p. Applying similar methods, we obtain a combinatorial theorem: For a given lattice polytope P we give…
