It is not hard to find many complete bipartite graphs which are not determined by their spectra. We show that the graph obtained by deleting an edge from a complete bipartite graph is determined by its spectrum. We provide some graphs, each…

We present formulae for computing the Yamada polynomial of spatial graphs obtained by replacing edges of plane graphs, such as cycle-graphs, theta-graphs, and bouquet-graphs, by spatial parts. As a corollary, it is shown that zeros of…

A graph is $k$-planar if it can be drawn in the plane such that no edge is crossed more than $k$ times. While for $k=1$, optimal $1$-planar graphs, i.e., those with $n$ vertices and exactly $4n-8$ edges, have been completely characterized,…

Let $\beta:=\sigma_1\sigma_2^{-1}$ be a braid in $B_3$, where $B_3$ is the braid group on 3 strings and $\sigma_1, \sigma_2$ are the standard Artin generators. We use Gauss diagram formulas to show that for each natural number $n$ not…

We construct a hereditary class of triangle-free graphs with unbounded chromatic number, in which every non-trivial graph either contains a pair of non-adjacent twins or has an edgeless vertex cutset of size at most two. This answers in the…

We provide a new family of $K_k$-free pseudorandom graphs with edge density $\Theta(n^{-1/(k-1)})$, matching a recent construction due to Bishnoi, Ihringer and Pepe. As in the former result, the idea is to use large subgraphs of polarity…

We investigate when a complete graph $K_n$ with some edges deleted is determined by its adjacency spectrum. It is shown to be the case if the deleted edges form a matching, a complete graph $K_m$ provided $m \leq n-2$, or a complete…

We use a tensor unfolding technique to prove a new identifiability result for discrete bipartite graphical models, which have a bipartite graph between an observed and a latent layer. This model family includes popular models such as…

A region crossing change at a region of a spatial-graph diagram is a transformation changing every crossing on the boundary of the region. In this paper, it is shown that every spatial graph consisting of theta-curves can be unknotted by…

We present new techniques to show hyperbolicity of links based on geometric/combinatorial topology. Our techniques are applicable to links that have at least one unknotted component. In particular, they are applicable to Brunnian links. We…

A theta is a graph consisting of two non-adjacent vertices and three internally disjoint paths between them, each of length at least two. For a family $\mathcal{H}$ of graphs, we say a graph $G$ is $\mathcal{H}$-free if no induced subgraph…

We prove a folklore theorem of W. Thurston which provides necessary and sufficient conditions for primality of a certain class of theta-curves. Namely, a theta-curve in the 3-sphere with an unknotted constituent knot U is prime if and only…

Treewidth is a parameter that emerged from the study of minor closed classes of graphs (i.e. classes closed under vertex and edge deletion, and edge contraction). It in some sense describes the global structure of a graph. Roughly, a graph…

We study relations between unknotting number and crossing number of a spatial embedding of a handcuff-graph and a theta curve. It is well known that for any non-trivial knot $K$ twice the unknotting number of $K$ is less than or equal to…

We present two practical and widely applicable methods, including some criteria and a general procedure, for detecting Brunnian property of a link, if each component is known to be unknot. The methods are based on observation and handwork.…

We create a framework for hereditary graph classes $\mathcal{G}^\delta$ built on a two-dimensional grid of vertices and edge sets defined by a triple $\delta=\{\alpha,\beta,\gamma\}$ of objects that define edges between consecutive columns,…

Let $C_{s,t}$ be the complete bipartite geometric graph, with $s$ and $t$ vertices on two distinct parallel lines respectively, and all $s t$ straight-line edges drawn between them. In this paper, we show that every complete bipartite…

We compute the quadratic embedding constant for complete bipartite graphs with disjoint edges removed. Moreover, we study the quadratic embedding property for theta graphs, i.e., graphs consisting of three paths with common initial points…

We give a complete characterisation of the cubic graphs with no eigenvalues in the interval $(-2,0)$. There is one thin infinite family consisting of a single graph on $6n$ vertices for each $n \geqslant 2$, and five ``sporadic'' graphs,…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite connected graph. The (unlabelled) configuration space $UC^n \Gamma$ of $n$ points on $\Gamma$ is the space of $n$-element subsets of $\Gamma$. The $n$-strand braid group of $\Gamma$, denoted $B_n\Gamma$, is the…
