A unicellular collection on a surface is a collection of curves whose complement is a single disk. There is a natural surgery operation on unicellular collections, endowing the set of such with a graph structure where the edge relation is…
This paper examines the spectral characterizations of oriented graphs. Let $\Sigma$ be an $n$-vertex oriented graph with skew-adjacency matrix $S$. Previous research mainly focused on self-converse oriented graphs, proposing arithmetic…
An abstract $n$-polytope $\mathcal{P}$ is a partially-ordered set which captures important properties of a geometric polytope, for any dimension $n$. For even $n \ge 2$, the incidences between elements in the middle two layers of the Hasse…
We investigate structural and combinatorial properties of Bi-Cayley graphs defined over cyclic groups of order $p^2q^2$, where $p$ and $q$ are distinct primes. We begin by describing their fundamental group-theoretic underpinnings. The main…
In a previous work, we gave a construction of (not necessarily realizable) oriented matroids from a triangulation of a product of two simplices. In this follow-up paper, we use a variant of Viro's patchworking to derive a topological…
A circuit double cover of a bridgeless graph is a collection of even subgraphs such that every edge is contained in exactly two subgraphs of the given collection. Such a circuit double cover describes an embedding of the corresponding graph…
A multipath in a directed graph is a disjoint union of paths. The multipath complex of a directed graph ${\tt G}$ is the simplicial complex whose faces are the multipaths of ${\tt G}$. We compute the Euler characteristic, and associated…
A theorem of Kontsevich relates the homology of certain infinite dimensional Lie algebras to graph homology. We formulate this theorem using the language of reversible operads and mated species. All ideas are explained using a pictorial…
Mixed graphs have both directed and undirected edges. A mixed cage is a regular mixed graph of given girth with minimum possible order. In this paper mixed cages are studied. Upper bounds are obtained by general construction methods and…
Double Bruhat cells in a semisimple group are intersections of cells in two Bruhat decompositions corresponding to two opposite Borel subgroups. They form a geometric framework for the study of total positivity in semisimple groups; they…
The cut sets of a graph are special sets of vertices whose removal disconnects the graph. They are fundamental in the study of binomial edge ideals, since they encode their minimal primary decomposition. We introduce the class of accessible…
Symmetric edge polytopes are a recent and well-studied family of centrally symmetric polytopes arising from graphs. In this paper, we introduce a generalization of this family to arbitrary simplicial complexes. We show how topological…
Developing an idea of Kapranov and Voevodsky, we introduce a model of weak omega-categories based on directed complexes, combinatorial presentations of pasting diagrams. We propose this as a convenient framework for higher-dimensional…
Let $G$ be a group and $L(G)$ be the set of all subgroups of $G$. We introduce a bipartite graph $\mathcal{B}(G)$ on $G$ whose vertex set is the union of two sets $G \times G$ and $L(G)$, and two vertices $(a, b) \in G \times G$ and $H \in…
A graph $G$ is a prime distance graph (respectively, a 2-odd graph) if its vertices can be labeled with distinct integers such that for any two adjacent vertices, the difference of their labels is prime (either 2 or odd). We prove that…
The exchange graph of a cluster algebra encodes the combinatorics of mutations of clusters. Through the recent "categorifications" of cluster algebras using representation theory one obtains a whole variety of exchange graphs associated…
Let $\mathcal{D}$ be a weighted oriented graph and let $I(\mathcal{D})$ be its edge ideal. Under a natural condition that the underlying (undirected) graph of $\mathcal{D}$ contains a perfect matching consisting of leaves, we provide…
In this paper we employ Tutte's theory of bridges to derive a decomposition theorem for binary matroids arising from signed graphs. The proposed decomposition differs from previous decomposition results on matroids that have appeared in the…
Bourgain and Yehudayoff recently constructed $O(1)$-monotone bipartite expanders. By combining this result with a generalisation of the unraveling method of Kannan, we construct 3-monotone bipartite expanders, which is best possible. We…
Let $G$ be a bipartite graph and its adjacency matrix $\mathbb A$. If $G$ has a unique perfect matching, then $\mathbb A$ has an inverse $\mathbb A^{-1}$ which is a symmetric integral matrix, and hence the adjacency matrix of a multigraph.…
