The divisor theory for graphs is compared to the theory of linear series on curves through the correspondence associating a curve to its dual graph. An algebro-geometric interpretation of the combinatorial rank is proposed, and proved in…
We study the problem of computing the rank of a divisor on a finite graph, a quantity that arises in the Riemann-Roch theory on a finite graph developed by Baker and Norine (Advances of Mathematics, 215(2): 766-788, 2007). Our work consists…
In this paper, we introduce the uniform algebraic rank of a divisor class on a finite graph. We show that it lies between Caporaso's algebraic rank and the combinatorial rank of Baker and Norine. We prove the Riemann-Roch theorem for the…
We investigate, using purely combinatorial methods, structural and algorithmic properties of linear equivalence classes of divisors on tropical curves. In particular, an elementary proof of the Riemann-Roch theorem for tropical curves,…
A metric graph is a geometric realization of a finite graph by identifying each edge with a real interval. A divisor on a metric graph $\Gamma$ is an element of the free abelian group on $\Gamma$. The rank of a divisor on a metric graph is…
It is well-known that a finite graph can be viewed, in many respects, as a discrete analogue of a Riemann surface. In this paper, we pursue this analogy further in the context of linear equivalence of divisors. In particular, we formulate…
We show that the algebraic rank of divisors on certain graphs is related to the realizability problem of matroids. As a consequence, we produce a series of examples in which the algebraic rank depends on the ground field. We use the theory…
Let $\bar{G} = (G, \omega)$ be a vertex-weighted graph, and $\delta$ a divisor class on $G$. Let $r_{\bar{G}}(\delta)$ denote the combinatorial rank of $\delta$. Caporaso has introduced the algebraic rank…
In the theory of algebraic function fields and their applications to the information theory, the Riemann-Roch theorem plays a fundamental role. But its use, delicate in general, is efficient and practical for applications especially in the…
Let $(G, \omega)$ be a hyperelliptic vertex-weighted graph of genus $g \geq 2$. We give a characterization of $(G, \omega)$ for which there exists a smooth projective curve $X$ of genus $g$ over a complete discrete valuation field with…
We define a divisor theory for graphs and tropical curves endowed with a weight function on the vertices; we prove that the Riemann-Roch theorem holds in both cases. We extend Baker's Specialization Lemma to weighted graphs.
In [1] M. Baker and S. Norine developed a theory of divisors and linear systems on graphs, and proved a Riemann-Roch Theorem for these objects (conceived as integer-valued functions on the vertices). In [2] and [3] the authors generalized…
We prove a Riemann-Roch theorem for real divisors on edge-weighted graphs over the reals, extending the result of Baker and Norine for integral divisors on graphs with multiple edges.
Baker and Norine introduced a graph-theoretic analogue of the Riemann-Roch theory. A central notion in this theory is the rank of a divisor. In this paper we prove that computing the rank of a divisor on a graph is NP-hard. The…
The paper by M. Baker and S. Norine in 2007 introduced a new parameter on configurations of graphs and gave a new result in the theory of graphs which has an algebraic geometry flavour. This result was called Riemann-Roch formula for graphs…
The divisor theory of graphs views a finite connected graph $G$ as a discrete version of a Riemann surface. Divisors on $G$ are formal integral combinations of the vertices of $G$, and linear equivalence of divisors is determined by the…
As in algebraic geometry, an effective divisor class on a vertex-weighted graph is called special if also its residual class is effective. We study the question, when this is true already on the level of divisors; that is, when there exists…
Baker and Norine initiated the study of graph divisors as a graph-theoretic analogue of the Riemann-Roch theory for Riemann surfaces. One of the key concepts of graph divisor theory is the {\it rank} of a divisor on a graph. The importance…
We prove an equivariant Riemann-Roch formula for divisors on algebraic curves over perfect fields. By reduction to the known case of curves over algebraically closed fields, we first show a preliminary formula with coefficients in Q. We…
On a metric graph we introduce the notion of a free divisor as a replacement for the notion of a base point free complete linear system on a curve. By means of an example we show that the Clifford inequality is the only obstruction for the…
