In heterophilic graphs, where neighboring nodes often belong to different classes, conventional Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) struggle due to their reliance on local homophilous neighborhoods. Prior studies suggest that modeling edge…

In this series we introduce and investigate the concept of connectoids, which captures the connectivity structure of various discrete objects like undirected graphs, directed graphs, bidirected graphs, hypergraphs or finitary matroids. In…

Haynes et al. (2020) introduced and investigated the concept of coalition in graphs \cite{hhhmm1}. Their study examined this concept from a vertex-based perspective, whereas in this paper, we extend the investigation to an edge-based…

We construct a locally compact Hausdorff topology on the path space of a directed graph $E$, and identify its boundary-path space $\partial E$ as the spectrum of a commutative $C^*$-subalgebra $D_E$ of $C^*(E)$. We then show that $\partial…

Discrete curvatures are quantities associated to the nodes and edges of a graph that reflect the local geometry around them. These curvatures have a rich mathematical theory and they have recently found success as a tool to analyze networks…

In finite graphs, finite-order tangles offer an abstract description of highly connected substructures. In infinite graphs, infinite-order tangles compactify the graphs in the same way the ends compactify connected locally finite graphs.…

This survey/expository article covers a variety of topics related to the "topology at infinity" of noncompact manifolds and complexes. In manifold topology and geometric group theory, the most important noncompact spaces are often…

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) traditionally employ a message-passing mechanism that resembles diffusion over undirected graphs, which often leads to homogenization of node features and reduced discriminative power in tasks such as node…

In fields ranging from business to systems biology, directed graphs with edges labeled by signs are used to model systems in a simple way: the nodes represent entities of some sort, and an edge indicates that one entity directly affects…

The study of very large graphs is a prominent theme in modern-day mathematics. In this paper we develop a rigorous foundation for studying the space of finite labelled graphs and their limits. These limiting objects are naturally countable…

In recent work, the authors developed a simple method of constructing topological spaces from certain well-behaved partially ordered sets -- those coming from sequences of relations between finite sets. This method associates a given poset…

This paper introduces a novel topology, referred to as the star topology, on finite graphs. By treating vertices and edges as points in a unified space, we explore continuous maps between Bare representations of a graph and their…

Differential calculus on discrete sets is developed in the spirit of noncommutative geometry. Any differential algebra on a discrete set can be regarded as a `reduction' of the `universal differential algebra' and this allows a systematic…

This paper is intended as an introductory survey of a newly emerging field: a topological approach to the study of locally finite graphs that crucially incorporates their ends. Topological arcs and circles, which may pass through ends,…

Despite the enormous success of graph neural networks (GNNs), most existing GNNs can only be applicable to undirected graphs where relationships among connected nodes are two-way symmetric (i.e., information can be passed back and forth).…

We show that the topological space of any infinite graph and its ends is normal. In particular, end spaces themselves are normal.

Consider a graph $G$ where each vertex is visibly labelled as a member of a distinct class, but also has a hidden binary state: wild or tame. Edges with end points in the same class are called agreement edges. Premise: an edge connecting…

We analyze the correlation between randomly chosen edge weights on neighboring edges in a directed graph. This shared-endpoint correlation controls the expected organization of randomly drawn edge flows when the flow on each edge is…
