A connected subgraph of a graph is isometric if it preserves distances. In this short note, we provide counterexamples to several variants of the following general question: When a graph $G$ is edge covered by connected isometric subgraphs…

In 2013, Chan classified all metric hyperelliptic graphs, proving that divisorial gonality and geometric gonality are equivalent in the hyperelliptic case. We show that such a classification extends to combinatorial graphs of divisorial…

We determine the thickness of the Cartesian product $K_{6p+4} \square P_2$ for $p \ge 0$ and of the Cartesian product $K_8 \square P_m$ for $m \ge 1$, where $K_n$ and $P_m$ denote the complete graph on $n$ vertices and the path on $m$…

For a vertex $v$ of a graph $G$, a spanning tree $T$ of $G$ is distance-preserving from $v$ if, for any vertex $w$, the distance from $v$ to $w$ on $T$ is the same as the distance from $v$ to $w$ on $G$. If two vertices $u$ and $v$ are…

An isomorphism between two graphs is a bijection between their vertices that preserves the edges. We consider the problem of determining whether two finite undirected weighted graphs are isomorphic, and finding an isomorphism relating them…

We prove several inequalities estimating the distance between volumes of two bodies in terms of the maximal or minimal difference between areas of sections or projections of these bodies. We also provide extensions in which volume is…

The d-measurement set of a graph is its set of possible squared edge lengths over all d-dimensional embeddings. In this note, we define a new notion of graph isomorphism called d-measurement isomorphism. Two graphs are d-measurement…

In Thurston's notes, he gives two different definitions of the Gromov norm (also called simplicial volume) of a manifold and states that they are equal but does not prove it. Gromov proves it in the special case of hyperbolic manifolds as a…

Crumpling and folding of paper are at rst sight very di erent ways of con ning thin sheets in a small volume: the former one is random and stochastic whereas the latest one is regular and deterministic. Nevertheless, certain similarities…

We show that the metric of nonpositively curved graph manifolds is determined by its geodesic flow. More precisely we show that if the geodesic flows of two nonpositively curved graph manifolds are $C^0$ conjugate then the spaces are…

Any planar graph has a crossing-free straight-line drawing in the plane. A simultaneous geometric embedding of two n-vertex graphs is a straight-line drawing of both graphs on a common set of n points, such that the edges withing each…

A graph G is a homomorphic preimage of another graph H, or equivalently G is H-colorable, if there exists a graph homomorphism from G to H. A classic problem is to characterize the family of homomorphic preimages of a given graph H. A…

A hypergraph is a $T_0$-hypergraph if for every two different vertices of the hypergraph there exists an edge containing one of the vertices and not containing the other. A general method for the enumeration of certain classes of…
