The neighborhood complex of a graph was introduced by Lov\'asz to provide topological lower bounds on chromatic number. More general homomorphism complexes of graphs were further studied by Babson and Kozlov. Such `Hom complexes' are also…
A complete subgraph of any simple graph $G$ on $k$ vertices is called a $k$-\emph{clique} of $G$. In this paper, we first introduce the concept of the value of a $k$-clique ($k>1$) as an extension of the idea of the degree of a given…
In two seminal papers Kontsevich used a construction called_graph homology_ as a bridge between certain infinite dimensional Lie algebras and various topological objects, including moduli spaces of curves, the group of outer automorphisms…
We introduce the notion of coupled embeddability, defined for maps on products of topological spaces. We use known results for nonsingular biskew and bilinear maps to generate simple examples and nonexamples of coupled embeddings. We study…
The independence complex of a graph is a simplicial complex whose faces correspond to the independent sets of $G$. While independence complexes have been studied extensively for many graph classes, including square grid graphs, relatively…
A hereditary class of graphs has bounded clique-width if and only if its prime members do, but this lifting property fails for linear clique-width. We prove that a hereditary class has bounded linear clique-width if and only if its prime…
We study combinatorial and algebraic properties of $t$-clique-free complexes, a family of simplicial complexes associated with finite simple graphs that generalize the classical independence complex. For a graph $G$ and an integer $t \ge…
We study fundamental groups of clique complexes associated to random graphs. We establish thresholds for their cohomological and geometric dimension and torsion. We also show that in certain regime any aspherical subcomplex of a random…
The dynamics of large complex systems are predominately modeled through pairwise interactions, the principle underlying structure being a network of the form of a digraph or quiver. Significant success has been obtained in applying the…
Combinatorially and stochastically defined simplicial complexes often have the homotopy type of a wedge of spheres. A prominent conjecture of Kahle quantifies this precisely for the case of random flag complexes. We explore whether such…
We investigate the higher-order connectivity of scale-free networks using algebraic topology. We model scale-free networks as preferential attachment graphs, and we study the algebraic-topological properties of their clique complexes. We…
The minimum number of bicliques needed to cover the edge set of the complete graph on $n$ vertices is $\lceil \log_2 n \rceil$. The Graham-Pollak theorem states that at least $n-1$ bicliques are required to partition the edge set of the…
We study the eigenforms of the action of A. Baker's Hecke operators on the holomorphic elliptic homology of various topological spaces. We prove a multiplicity one theorem (i.e., one-dimensionality of the space of these "topological Hecke…
For a positive integer $k$, the \emph{ total $k$-cut complex} of a graph $G$, denoted as $\Delta_k^t(G)$, is the simplicial complex whose facets are $\sigma \subseteq V(G)$ such that $|\sigma| = |V(G)|-k$ and the induced subgraph $G[V(G)…
The independence complex of a graph G is a simplicial complex whose simplices are the independent sets in G. In the last couple of decades, the independence complexes of square grids (with various boundary conditions) have gained much…
Bifiltered graphs are a versatile tool for modelling relations between data points across multiple grades of a two-dimensional scale. They are especially popular in topological data analysis, where the homological properties of the induced…
Motivated by the relevance of higher-order interactions in quantum physics and materials science at the nanoscale, recently a model has been introduced for new classes of networks that grow by the geometrically constrained aggregation of…
$Hom(G,H)$ is a polyhedral complex defined for any two undirected graphs $G$ and $H$. This construction was introduced by Lov\'asz to give lower bounds for chromatic numbers of graphs. In this paper we initiate the study of the topological…
The matching complex of a graph $G$ is a simplicial complex whose simplices are matchings in $G$. In the last few years the matching complexes of grid graphs have gained much attention among the topological combinatorists. In 2017, Braun…
For each composition $\vec{c}$ we show that the order complex of the poset of pointed set partitions $\Pi^{\bullet}_{\vec{c}}$ is a wedge of spheres of the same dimension with the multiplicity given by the number of permutations with…
