We say that a graph $G$ is $(2,m)$-linked if, for any distinct vertices $a_1,\ldots, a_m, b_1,b_2$ in $G$, there exist vertex disjoint connected subgraphs $A,B$ of $G$ such that $\{a_1, \ldots, a_m\}$ is contained in $A$ and $\{b_1,b_2\}$…
The present paper is an introduction to a combinatorial theory arising as a natural generalisation of classical and virtual knot theory. There is a way to encode links by a class of `realisable' graphs. When passing to generic graphs with…
The present paper studies the structure of characteristic varieties of fundamental groups of graph manifolds. As a consequence, a simple proof of Papadima's question is provided on the characterization of algebraic links that have…
This paper is the first from a series of papers that establish a common analogue of the strong component and basilica decompositions for bidirected graphs. A bidirected graph is a graph in which a sign $+$ or $-$ is assigned to each end of…
Suppose we wish to embed an (associative) $k$-algebra $A$ in a $k$-algebra $R$ generated in some specified way; e.g., by two elements, or by copies of given $k$-algebras $A_1,$ $A_2,$ $A_3.$ Several authors have obtained sufficient…
Building on recent work of Robertson and Steger, we associate a C*-algebra to a combinatorial object which may be thought of as a higher rank graph. This C*-algebra is shown to be isomorphic to that of the associated path groupoid.…
Recently Iwasawa theory for graphs is developing. A significant achievement includes an analogue of Iwasawa class number formula, which describes the asymptotic growth of the numbers of spanning trees for $\mathbb{Z}_p$-coverings of graphs.…
We define a generalization of virtual links to arbitrary dimensions by extending the geometric definition due to Carter et al. We show that many homotopy type invariants for classical links extend to invariants of virtual links. We also…
A link $L$ in $S^3$ is called a symmetric link if it is preserved by a $\pi$ rotation around a closed geodesic in $S^3$. Any symmetric link can be depicted by a diagram with a symmetry axis lying on the plane of the diagram, called a…
The linking integral is an invariant of the link-type of two manifolds immersed in a Euclidean space. It is shown that the ordinary Gauss integral in three dimensions may be simplified to a winding number integral in two dimensions. This…
Given a finite connected bipartite graph, finite-dimensional indecomposable semisimple Leibniz algebras are constructed. Furthermore, any finite-dimensional indecomposable semisimple Leibniz algebra admits a similar construction.
For all classical groups (and for their analogs in infinite dimension or over general base fields or rings) we construct certain contractions, called "homotopes". The construction is geometric, using as ingredient involutions of associative…

We show that the pair given by the power set and by the "Grassmannian"(set of all subgroups) of an arbitrary group behaves very much like the pair given by a projective space and its dual projective space. More precisely, we generalize…
We prove that a connected, locally finite, quasi-transitive graph which is quasi-isometric to a planar graph is necessarily accessible. This leads to a complete classification of the finitely generated groups which are quasi-isometric to…
We study the structure of the asymptotic expansion of the probability that a combinatorial object is connected. We show that the coefficients appearing in those asymptotics are integers and can be interpreted as the counting sequences of…
The relations between integrable Poisson algebras with three generators and two-dimensional manifolds are investigated. Poisson algebraic maps are also discussed.
We show that, given any $n$ and $\alpha$, every embedding of any sufficiently large complete graph in $\mathbb{R}^3$ contains an oriented link with components $Q_1$, ..., $Q_n$ such that for every $i\not =j$, $|\lk(Q_i,Q_j)|\geq\alpha$ and…
We study the geometry of fully augmented link complements in $S^3$ by looking at their link diagrams. We extend the method introduced by Thistlethwaite and Tsvietkova to fully augmented links and define a system of algebraic equations in…
Yoshikawa [Yo] conjectured that a certain set of moves on marked graph diagrams generates the isotopy relation for surface links in ${\mathbb R}^4$, and this was proved by Swenton [S] and Kearton and Kurlin [KK]. In this paper, we find…
