Let $T$ be an unrooted tree. The \emph{chromatic symmetric function} $X_T$, introduced by Stanley, is a sum of monomial symmetric functions corresponding to proper colorings of $T$. The \emph{subtree polynomial} $S_T$, first considered…

This paper investigates methods for calculating the chromatic symmetric function (CSF) of a graph in chromatic-bases and the $m_\lambda$-basis. Our key contributions include a novel approach for calculating the CSF in chromatic-bases…

The orbital bivariate chromatic polynomial, introduced in this article, counts the number of ways to color the vertices of a graph with $\lambda$ colors such that adjacent vertices either receive distinct colors from a set of $\lambda$…

The chromatic polynomial of a graph is an important notion in algebraic combinatorics that was introduced by Birkhoff in 1912; denoted $P(G,k)$, it equals the number of proper $k$-colorings of graph $G$. Enumerative analogues of the…

Chromatic quasisymmetric functions of labeled graphs were defined by Shareshian and Wachs as a refinement of Stanley's chromatic symmetric functions. In this extended abstract, we consider an extension of their definition from labeled…

We establish a connection between root multiplicities for Borcherds-Kac-Moody algebras and graph coloring. We show that the generalized chromatic polynomial of the graph associated to a given Borcherds algebra can be used to give a closed…

Let $G$ be a simple graph and let $\mathcal{L}(G)$ be the free partially commutative Lie algebra associated to $G$. In this paper, using heaps of pieces, we prove an expression for the generalized $\textbf k$-chromatic polynomial of $G$ in…

Symmetric Grothendieck polynomials are inhomogeneous versions of Schur polynomials that arise in combinatorial $K$-theory. A polynomial has saturated Newton polytope (SNP) if every lattice point in the polytope is an exponent vector. We…

The U-polynomial, the polychromate and the symmetric function generalization of the Tutte polynomial due to Stanley are known to be equivalent in the sense that the coefficients of any one of them can be obtained as a function of the…

Motivated by Stanley's generalization of the chromatic polynomial of a graph to the chromatic symmetric function, we introduce the characteristic polynomial of a representation of the symmetric group, or more generally, of a symmetric…

A famous conjecture of Stanley states that his chromatic symmetric function distinguishes trees. As a quasisymmetric analogue, we conjecture that the chromatic quasisymmetric function of Shareshian and Wachs and of Ellzey distinguishes…

We introduce a quasisymmetric class function associated with a group acting on a double poset or on a directed graph. The latter is a generalization of the chromatic quasisymmetric function of a digraph introduced by Ellzey, while the…

We show that if $P$ is a lattice polytope in the nonnegative orthant of $\R^k$ and $\chi$ is a coloring of the lattice points in the orthant such that the color $\chi(a+b)$ depends only on the colors $\chi(a)$ and $\chi(b)$, then the number…

Sazdanovic and Yip defined a categorification of Stanley's chromatic function called the chromatic symmetric homology. In this paper we prove that (as conjectured by Chandler, Sazdanovic, Stella and Yip), if a graph $G$ is non-planar, then…

The chromatic quasisymmetric function of a graph was introduced by Shareshian and Wachs as a refinement of Stanley's chromatic symmetric function. An explicit combinatorial formula, conjectured by Shareshian and Wachs, expressing the…

We investigate chromatic symmetric functions in the relation to the algebra $\Gamma$ of symmetric functions generated by Schur $Q$-functions. We construct natural bases of $\Gamma$ in terms of chromatic symmetric functions. We also consider…

George Birkhoff proved in 1912 that the number of proper colorings of a finite graph G with n colors is a polynomial in n, called the chromatic polynomial of G. Read conjectured in 1968 that for any graph G, the sequence of absolute values…

We exhibit non-switching-isomorphic signed graphs that share a common underlying graph and common chromatic polynomials, thereby answering a question posed by Zaslavsky. For various joins of all-positive or all-negative signed complete…

We study a $q$-version of the chromatic polynomial of a given graph $G=(V,E)$, namely, \[ \chi_G^\lambda(q,n) \ := \sum_{\substack{\text{proper colorings}\\ c\,:\,V\to[n]}} q^{ \sum_{ v \in V } \lambda_v c(v) }, \] where $\lambda \in…

This paper deals with lattice congruences of the weak order on the symmetric group, and initiates the investigation of the cover graphs of the corresponding lattice quotients. These graphs also arise as the skeleta of the so-called…
