Discrete homotopy theory or A-homotopy theory is a combinatorial homotopy theory defined on graphs, simplicial complexes, and metric spaces, reflecting information about their connectivity. The present paper aims to further understand the…

Tropicalization is a procedure for associating a polyhedral complex in Euclidean space to a subvariety of an algebraic torus. We study the question of which graphs arise from tropicalizing algebraic curves. By using Baker's specialization…

We consider semi-algebraic subsets of the Grassmannian of lines in three-space called tree amplituhedra. These arise in the study of scattering amplitudes from particle physics. Our main result states that tree amplituhedra in ${\rm…

We show that accordiohedra furnish polytopes which encode amplitudes for all massive scalar field theories with generic interactions. This is done by deriving integral formulae for the Feynman diagrams at tree level and integrands at one…

An ordinary voltage graph embedding of a graph in a surface encodes a certain kind of highly symmetric covering space of that surface. Given an ordinary voltage graph embedding of a graph $G$ in a surface with voltage group $A$ and a…

We continue the study of open associahedra associated with bi-color scattering amplitudes initiated in arXiv:1912.08307. We focus on the facet geometries of the open associahedra, uncovering many new phenomena such as fiber-product…

This article aims to propose a novel analytical model for anisotropic multi-layer elliptical structures incorporating graphene layers. The multi-layer structure is formed of various magnetic materials. An external magnetic bias has been…

Given a polyhedron (planar, $3$-connected graph) $G$, we investigate its common neighbourhood graph con($G$). For cubic ($3$-regular) polyhedra, we show that the planarity of con($G$) depends on the number of odd faces of $G$, and on their…

A paradigm that was successfully applied in the study of both pure and algorithmic problems in graph theory can be colloquially summarized as stating that "any graph is close to being the disjoint union of expanders". Our goal in this paper…

The $k$-associahedron $Ass_k(n)$ is the simplicial complex of $(k+1)$-crossing-free subgraphs of the complete graph with vertices on a circle. Its facets are called $k$-triangulations. We explore the connection of $Ass_k(n)$ with the…

Much information about a graph can be obtained by studying its spanning trees. On the other hand, a graph can be regarded as a 1-dimensional cell complex, raising the question of developing a theory of trees in higher dimension. As observed…
