We say that a graph $F$ can be embedded into a graph $G$ if $G$ contains an isomorphic copy of $F$ as a subgraph. Guo and Volkmann \cite{GV} conjectured that if $G$ is a connected graph with at least $n$ vertices and minimum degree at least…

Twisted ind-Grassmannians are ind-varieties $\GG$ obtained as direct limits of Grassmannians $G(r_m,V^{r_m})$, for $m\in\ZZ_{>0}$, under embeddings $\phi_m:G(r_m,V^{r_m})\to G(r_{m+1}, V^{r_{m+1}})$ of degree greater than one. It has been…

Let $G$ be a connected graph and $L(G)$ the set of all integers $k$ such that $G$ contains a spanning tree with exactly $k$ leaves. We show that for a connected graph $G$, the set $L(G)$ is contiguous. It follows from work of Chen, Ren, and…

Recent developments in particle physics have revealed deep connections between scattering amplitudes and tropical geometry. From the heart of this relationship emerged the chirotropical Grassmannian $\text{Trop}^\chi \text{G}(k,n)$ and the…

Koh and Tay proved a fundamental classification of $G$ vertex-multiplications into three classes $\mathscr{C}_0, \mathscr{C}_1$ and $\mathscr{C}_2$. They also showed that any vertex-multiplication of a tree with diameter at least 3 does not…

The weighted spanning tree enumerator of a graph $G$ with weighted edges is the sum of the products of edge weights over all the spanning trees in $G$. In the special case that all of the edge weights equal $1$, the weighted spanning tree…

For two given positive integers $p$ and $q$ with $p\leqslant q$, we denote $\mathscr{T}_n^{p, q}={T: T$ is a tree of order $n$ with a $(p, q)$-bipartition}. For a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices, let $A(G)$ be its adjacency matrix with…

We generalize Schwenk's result that almost all trees contain any given limb to trees with positive integer vertex weights. The concept of characteristic polynomial is extended to such weighted trees and we prove that the proportion of…

We study the soft limit of a recently proposed generalization of the biadjoint scalar amplitudes $m^{(k)}_{n}$, which have been conjectured to have a relation to the tropical Grassmannian $\text{Tr G}(k,n)$. Using the CHY formulation along…

We figure out the explicit expression for the trace of the field equations associated to generic higher derivative theories of gravity endowed with Lagrangians depending upon the metric and its Riemann tensor, together with arbitrary order…

Recently, twistor-like formulations of tree amplitudes involving $n$ massless particles have been proposed for various 6D supersymmetric theories. The formulas are based on two different forms of the scattering equations: one based on…

Let $A$ be an acyclic symmetric matrix of order $n$. There is a weighted forest $F$ whose adjacency matrix is $A$. In this paper, using some results on matching polynomials, we provide an explicit formula for eigenvectors of $A$.

Using the notion of a root datum of a reductive group $G$ we propose a tropical analogue of a principal $G$-bundle on a metric graph. We focus on the case $G=\mathrm{GL}_n$, i.e. the case of vector bundles. Here we give a characterization…

In this note we consider some properties of $GL_n(\mathbb{R})$ with the Semi-Riemannian structure induced by the trace metric $g$. In particular we study geodesics and curvature tensors. Moreover we prove that $GL_n$ has a suitable…

We tropicalize the rational map that takes triples of points in the projective plane to the plane of quadrics passing through these points. The image of its tropicalization is contained in the tropicalization of its image. We identify these…

For all integers $k\geq 3$, we give an $O(n^4)$ time algorithm for the problem whose instance is a graph $G$ of girth at least $k$ together with $k$ vertices and whose question is "Does $G$ contains an induced subgraph containing the $k$…

In this paper we introduce and study three new measures for efficient discriminative comparison of phylogenetic trees. The NNI navigation dissimilarity $d_{nav}$ counts the steps along a "combing" of the Nearest Neighbor Interchange (NNI)…

We compute the space of 5x5 matrices of tropical rank at most 3 and show that it coincides with the space of 5x5 matrices of Kapranov rank at most 3, that is, the space of five labeled coplanar points in TP4. We then prove that the Kapranov…

An $n$-vertex tree $T$ is said to be $\textit{graceful}$ if there exists a bijective labelling $\phi:V(T)\to \{1,\ldots,n\}$ such that the edge-differences $\{|\phi(x)-\phi(y)| : xy\in E(T)\}$ are pairwise distinct. The longstanding…

Given an edge-weighted tree $T$ with $n$ leaves, sample the leaves uniformly at random without replacement and let $W_k$, $2 \le k \le n$, be the length of the subtree spanned by the first $k$ leaves. We consider the question, "Can $T$ be…
