This is my PhD thesis supervised by Professor Jerzy Weyman. A symmetric quiver $(Q,\sigma)$ is a finite quiver without oriented cycles $Q=(Q_0,Q_1)$ equipped with a contravariant involution $\sigma$ on $Q_0\sqcup Q_1$. The involution allows…
We extend the work of Hanlon on the chromatic polynomial of an unlabeled graph to define the unlabeled chromatic polynomial of an unlabeled signed graph. Explicit formulas are presented for labeled and unlabeled signed chromatic polynomials…
A signed graph is a graph in which each edge has a positive or negative sign. In this article, first we characterize the distance compatibility in the case of a connected signed graph and discussed the distance compatibility criterion for…
We consider conjugation action of symmetric group on the semigroup of all partial functions and develop a machinery to investigate character formulas and multiplicities. In particular, we determine nilpotent matrices whose orbit under…
A weighing matrix $W$ is quasi-balanced if $|W||W|^\top=|W|^\top|W|$ has at most two off-diagonal entries, where $|W|_{ij}=|W_{ij}|$. A quasi-balanced weighing matrix $W$ signs a strongly regular graph if $|W|$ coincides with its adjacency…
For a fixed root of a quiver, it is a very hard problem to construct all or even only one indecomposable representation with this root as dimension vector. We investigate two methods which can be used for this purpose. In both cases we get…
This paper considers the difficulty in the set-system approach to generalizing graph theory. These difficulties arise categorically as the category of set-system hypergraphs is shown not to be cartesian closed and lacks enough projective…
An arc-weighted digraph is a pair $(D,\omega)$ where $D$ is a digraph and $\omega$ is an \emph{arc-weight function} that assigns\ to each arc $uv$ of $D$ a nonzero real number $\omega(uv)$. Given an arc-weighted digraph $(D,\omega)$ with…
Complex unit gain graphs may exhibit various kinds of symmetry. In this work, we explore structural symmetry, spectral symmetry and sign-symmetry in such graphs, and their respective relations to one-another. Our main result is a…
A finite graph $\Gamma$ is called $G$-symmetric if $G$ is a group of automorphisms of $\Gamma$ which is transitive on the set of ordered pairs of adjacent vertices of $\Gamma$. We study a family of symmetric graphs, called the unitary…
The symmetries of a finite graph are described by its automorphism group; in the setting of Woronowicz's quantum groups, a notion of a quantum automorphism group has been defined by Banica capturing the quantum symmetries of the graph. In…
Toral automorphisms, represented by unimodular integer matrices, are investigated with respect to their symmetries and reversing symmetries. We characterize the symmetry groups of GL(n,Z) matrices with simple spectrum through their…
The regular embeddings of complete bipartite graphs $K_{n,n}$ in orientable surfaces are classified and enumerated, and their automorphism groups and combinatorial properties are determined. The method depends on earlier classifications in…
In the context of signed line graphs, this article introduces a modified inflation technique to study strong Gram congruence of non-negative (integral quadratic) unit forms, and uses it to show that weak and strong Gram congruence coincide…
The Kneser signed graph $\KS(n,k)$, $k\leq n$, is the graph whose vertices are signed $k$-subsets of $[n]$ (i.e. $k$-subsets $S$ of $\{ \pm 1, \pm 2, \ldots, \pm n\}$ such that $S\cap (-S)=\emptyset$). Two vertices $A$ and $B$ are adjacent…
Recently, Choi and Park introduced an invariant of a finite simple graph, called signed a-number, arising from computing certain topological invariants of some specific kinds of real toric manifolds. They also found the signed a-numbers of…
Square matrices represent linear self-maps of vector spaces, and their eigenpoints are the fixed points of the induced map on projective space. Likewise, polynomial self-maps of a projective space are represented by tensors. We study the…
In this note, we derive non trivial sharp bounds related to the weighted harmonic-geometric-arithmetic means inequalities, when two out of the three terms are known. As application, we give an explicit bound for the trace of the inverse of…
A signed graph $\Sigma = (G, \sigma)$ is a graph where the function $\sigma$ assigns either $1$ or $-1$ to each edge of the simple graph $G$. The adjacency matrix of $\Sigma$, denoted by $A(\Sigma)$, is defined canonically. In a recent…
We investigate properties of signed graphs that have few distinct eigenvalues together with a symmetric spectrum. Our main contribution is to determine all signed $(0,2)$-graphs with vertex degree at most $6$ that have precisely two…
