We prove a sharp structural result concerning finite colorings of pairs in well-founded trees.
This is a report on our ongoing research on a combinatorial approach to knot recognition, using coloring of knots by certain algebraic objects called quandles. The aim of the paper is to summarize the mathematical theory of knot coloring in…
We show that under the proper forcing axiom the class of all Aronszajn lines behave like $\sigma$-scattered orders under the embeddability relation. In particular, we are able to show that the class of better quasi order labeled fragmented…
We prove upper and lower bounds on the chromatic number of the square of the cartesian product of trees. The bounds are equal if each tree has even maximum degree.
It is proved that if there is an $\aleph_2$-Aronszajn line, then there is one that does not contain an $\aleph_2$-Countryman line. This solves a problem of Moore and stands in a sharp contrast with his Basis Theorem for linear orders of…
We consider the enumeration of plane trees (rooted ordered trees) whose vertices are colored according to a specific coloring rule that prescribes which possible pairs of colors can occur as the colors of a parent vertex and its child. This…
This article considers some affine algebraic varieties attached to finite trees and closely related to cluster algebras. Their definition involves a canonical coloring of vertices of trees into three colors. These varieties are proved to be…
We tackle three optimization problems in which a colored graph, where each node is assigned a color, must be partitioned into colorful connected components. A component is defined as colorful if each color appears at most once. The problems…
One of the most important questions in matroid optimization is to find disjoint common bases of two matroids. The significance of the problem is well-illustrated by the long list of conjectures that can be formulated as special cases.…
We study a tree coloring model introduced by Guidon (2018), initially based on an analogy with a remote control system of a rail yard, seen as a switch tree. For a given rooted tree, we formalize the constraints on the coloring, in…
We show that the edges of any graph $G$ containing two edge-disjoint spanning trees can be blue/red coloured so that the blue and red graphs are connected and the blue and red degrees at each vertex differ by at most four. This improves a…
We show that there are proper forcings based upon countable trees of creatures that specialize a given Aronszajn tree.
A $t$-tone coloring of a graph $G$ assigns to each vertex a set of $t$ colors such that any pair of vertices $u, v$ with distance $d$ can share at most $d-1$ colors. In this note, we prove several new results on $t$-tone coloring. For…
Given a tree $T$ of height $\omega_1$, we say that a ladder system colouring $(f_\alpha)_{\alpha\in \lim\omega_1}$ has a $T$-uniformization if there is a function $\varphi$ defined on a subtree $S$ of $T$ so that for any $s\in S_\alpha$ of…
We consider a class of compacta X such that the maps from X onto metric compacta define an Aronszajn tree of closed subsets of X.
We prove a theorem ensuring that the compositions of certain Ramsey families are still Ramsey. As an application, we show that in any finite coloring of $\mathbb{N}$ there is an infinite set $A$ and an as large as desired finite set $B$…
The tree theorem for pairs ($\mathsf{TT}^2_2$), first introduced by Chubb, Hirst, and McNicholl, asserts that given a finite coloring of pairs of comparable nodes in the full binary tree $2^{<\omega}$, there is a set of nodes isomorphic to…
We explore new connections between complete non-ambiguous trees (CNATs) and permutations. We give a bijection between tree-like tableaux and a specific subset of CNATs. This map is used to establish and solve a recurrence relation for the…
We study a tree coloring model introduced by Guidon (2018), initially based on an analogy with a remote control system of a rail yard, seen as switches on a binary tree. For a given binary tree, we formalize the constraints on the coloring,…
In mathematical phylogenetics, evolutionary relationships are often represented by trees and networks. The latter are typically used whenever the relationships cannot be adequately described by a tree, which happens when so-called…
