Abstract

The purpose of this article is to investigate the combinatorial properties of the cross section lattice of a $J$-irreducible monoid associated with a semisimple algebraic group of one of the types $A_n$, $B_n$, or $C_n$. Our main tool is a theorem of Putcha and Renner which identifies the cross section lattice in the Boolean lattice of subsets of the nodes of a Dynkin diagram. We determine the join irreducibles of the cross section lattice. Exploiting this we find characterizations of the relatively complemented intervals. By a result of Putcha, this determines the Möbius function for $Λ$. We show that an interval of the cross section lattice is Boolean if and only if it is relatively complemented if and only if it is atomic. We characterize distributive cross section lattices, showing that they are products of chains. We determine which cross section lattices are supersolvable, and furthermore, we compute the characteristic polynomials of these supersolvable cross section lattices. At the end of the article we indicate some future research directions.

Adjunctions, Box Products, and Forcing Families

Sidorenko's conjecture states that the number of copies of any given bipartite graph in another graph of given density is asymptotically minimized by a random graph. For bipartite graphs containing a cycle, the forcing conjecture further asserts that asymptotic equality characterizes quasi-random graphs. We establish an adjoint identity for a general class of graph-substitution operators and use it to obtain Sidorenko and forcing results for balanced blow-ups, subdivisions, Cartesian products, and strong products.

On the Cost Number of Graphs with Determining Number Two

A distinguishing vertex coloring of a graph $G$ is a vertex coloring such that only the identity automorphism of $G$ preserves the coloring. A graph is $2$-distinguishable if it admits a distinguishing vertex coloring with two colors, and its cost $ρ(G)$ is the minimum size of a color class in such a coloring. The determining number of a graph $G$, denoted by $Det(G)$, is the minimum size of a subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ such that only the trivial automorphism fixes every element of $S$ pointwise. Boutin (J. Combin. Math. Combin. Comput. 85: 161-171, 2013) asked if $ρ(G)$ and $Det(G)$ can be arbitrarily far apart. While the case for $Det(G) = 1$ is trivial, the answer remained unknown for $Det(G) \ge 2$. In this manuscript, we show that if $Det(G)=2$ then not only is $ρ(G)$ bounded, but in fact $ρ(G) \leq 4$. This is the first resolution of Boutin's question for any nontrivial fixed determining number. Moreover, for every fixed $Det(G)= n$, we construct examples giving a lower bound on any possible upper bound for $ρ(G)$ in terms of $n$.
