The distinguishing number $\operatorname D(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the least cardinal $d$ such that $G$ has a labeling with $d$ labels which is only preserved by the trivial automorphism. We show that the distinguishing number of infinite,…
We consider the random directed graph $\vec{G}(n,p)$ with vertex set $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ in which each of the $n(n-1)$ possible directed edges is present independently with probability $p$. We are interested in the strongly connected…
This is the first part of a two-part work on a unified mathematical theory of gapped and gapless edges of 2d topological orders. We analyze all the possible observables on the 1+1D world sheet of a chiral gapless edge of a 2d topological…
The diameter of a graph is the maximum distance among all pairs of vertices. Thus a graph $G$ has diameter $d$ if any two vertices are at distance at most $d$ and there are two vertices at distance $d$. We are interested in studying the…
We study the statistical geometry of random chords on n-dimensional spheres by deriving explicit analytical expressions for the chord length distribution and its associated structural properties. A critical threshold emerges at dimension…
A geometric graph is a combinatorial graph, endowed with a geometry that is inherited from its embedding in a Euclidean space. Formulation of a meaningful measure of (dis-)similarity in both the combinatorial and geometric structures of two…
Maximally recoverable codes are codes designed for distributed storage which combine quick recovery from single node failure and optimal recovery from catastrophic failure. Gopalan et al [SODA 2017] studied the alphabet size needed for such…
The metric dimension (MD) of a graph is a combinatorial notion capturing the minimum number of landmark nodes needed to distinguish every pair of nodes in the graph based on graph distance. We study how much the MD can increase if we add a…
We analyze the asymptotic number and typical structure of claw-free graphs at constant edge densities. The first of our main results is a formula for the asymptotics of the logarithm of the number of claw-free graphs of edge density $\gamma…
Given a graph $G$, let $\mathrm{diam}(G)$ be the greatest distance between any two vertices of $G$ which lie in the same connected component, and let $\mathrm{diam}^+(G)$ be the greatest distance between any two vertices of $G$; so…
We analyze the critical connectivity of systems of penetrable $d$-dimensional spheres having size distributions in terms of weighed random geometrical graphs, in which vertex coordinates correspond to random positions of the sphere centers…
Given a weighted and complete graph G = (V, E), V denotes the set of n objects to be clustered, and the weight d(u, v) associated with an edge (u, v) belonging to E denotes the dissimilarity between objects u and v. The diameter of a…
The 'separation dimension' of a graph $G$ is the smallest natural number $k$ for which the vertices of $G$ can be embedded in $\mathbb{R}^k$ such that any pair of disjoint edges in $G$ can be separated by a hyperplane normal to one of the…
An axis parallel $d$-dimensional box is the Cartesian product $R_1 \times R_2 \times ... \times R_d$ where each $R_i$ is a closed interval on the real line. The {\it boxicity} of a graph $G$, denoted as $\boxi(G)$, is the minimum integer…
$ \def\vecc#1{\boldsymbol{#1}} $We design a polynomial time algorithm that for any weighted undirected graph $G = (V, E,\vecc w)$ and sufficiently large $\delta > 1$, partitions $V$ into subsets $V_1, \ldots, V_h$ for some $h\geq 1$, such…
We study first passage percolation on the configuration model. Assuming that each edge has an independent exponentially distributed edge weight, we derive explicit distributional asymptotics for the minimum weight between two randomly…
Given $p$ node pairs in an $n$-node graph, a distance preserver is a sparse subgraph that agrees with the original graph on all of the given pairwise distances. We prove the following bounds on the number of edges needed for a distance…
We study the random loop model with crosses and bars on sparse random graphs. Our main objective is to prove the existence of macroscopic loops, in the sense that a loop visits a positive proportion of the vertices. We develop a…
