For periodic graph operators, we establish criteria to determine the overlaps of spectral band functions based on Bloch varieties. One criterion states that for a large family of periodic graph operators, the irreducibility of Bloch…

We use methods from algebra and discrete geometry to study the irreducibility of the dispersion polynomial of a discrete periodic operator associated to a periodic graph after changing the period lattice. We provide numerous applications of…

We present a method to estimate the number of irreducible components of the Fermi varieties of periodic Schr\"odinger operators on graphs in terms of suitable asymptotics. Our main theorem is an abstract bound for the number of irreducible…

We study the Bloch variety of discrete Schr\"odinger operators associated with a complex periodic potential and a general finite-range interaction, showing that the Bloch variety is irreducible for a wide class of lattice geometries in…

We prove that the ribbon graph polynomial of a graph embedded in an orientable surface is irreducible if and only if the embedded graph is neither the disjoint union nor the join of embedded graphs. This result is analogous to the fact that…

We prove that the Fermi surface of a connected doubly periodic self-adjoint discrete graph operator is irreducible at all but finitely many energies provided that the graph (1) can be drawn in the plane without crossing edges (2) has…

An irreducible element of a commutative ring is absolutely irreducible if no power of it has more than one (essentially different) factorization into irreducibles. In the case of the ring $\text{Int}(D)=\{f\in K[x]\mid f(D)\subseteq D\}$,…

We raise some questions about graph polynomials, highlighting concepts and phenomena that may merit consideration in the development of a general theory. Our questions are mainly of three types: When do graph polynomials have reduction…

Averbouch, Godlin and Makowsky define the edge elimination polynomial of a graph by a recurrence relation with respect to the deletion, contraction and extraction of an edge. It generalizes some well-known graph polynomials such as the…

For a given graph whose edges are labeled with general real numbers, we consider the set of functions from the vertex set into the Euclidean plane such that the distance between the images of neighbouring vertices is equal to the…

Assume that there is a set of monic polynomials $P_n(z)$ satisfying the second-order difference equation $$ A(s) P_n(z(s+1)) + B(s) P_n(z(s)) + C(s) P_n(z(s-1)) = \lambda_n P_n(z(s)), n=0,1,2,..., N$$ where $z(s), A(s), B(s), C(s)$ are some…

In 1992, Hendrickson proved that (d+1)-connectivity and redundant rigidity are necessary conditions for a generic (non-complete) bar-joint framework to be globally rigid in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Jackson and Jordan confirmed in 2005 that these…

The graph polynomial for the number of independent sets of size $k$ in a general undirected graph is shown to be equal to an elementary symmetric polynomial of the vertex monomials, which are determined by the edges incident at the…

A graph is Schur-positive if its chromatic symmetric function expands nonnegatively in the Schur basis. All claw-free graphs are conjectured to be Schur-positive. We introduce a combinatorial object corresponding to a graph G, called a…

A key property of an algebraic variety is whether it is absolutely irreducible, meaning that it remains irreducible over the algebraic closure of its defining field, and determining absolute irreducibility is important in algebraic geometry…

We consider random polynomials with independent identically distributed coefficients with a fixed law. Assuming the Riemann hypothesis for Dedekind zeta functions, we prove that such polynomials are irreducible and their Galois groups…

An old problem in mathematical physics deals with the structure of the dispersion relation of the Schr\"odinger operator $-\Delta+V(x)$ in $R^n$ with periodic potential near the edges of the spectrum. A well known conjecture says that…

In this paper, we investigate the spectrum of a class of weighted Laplacians on Cayley graphs and determine under what conditions the corresponding eigenspaces are generically irreducible. Specifically, we analyze the spectrum on…

Conditionally on the Riemann hypothesis for certain Dedekind zeta functions, we show that the characteristic polynomial of a class of random tridiagonal matrices of large dimension is irreducible, with probability exponentially close to…

Given a polynomial P in several variables over an algebraically closed field, we show that except in some special cases that we fully describe, if one coefficient is allowed to vary, then the polynomial is irreducible for all but at most…
