Pairwise disjoint maximal cliques in random graphs and sequential motion planning on random right angled Artin groups

Abstract

The clique number of a random graph in the Erdos-Renyi model G(n,p) yields a random variable which is known to be asymptotically (as n tends to infinity) almost surely within one of an explicit logarithmic (on n) function r(n,p). We extend this fact by showing that random graphs have, asymptotically almost surely, arbitrarily many pairwise disjoint complete subgraphs with as many vertices as r(n,p). The result is motivated by and applied to the sequential motion planning problem on random right angled Artin groups. Indeed, we give an asymptotical description of all the higher topological complexities of Eilenberg-MacLane spaces associated to random graph groups.

On nut graphs with two vertex and three edge orbits

Nut graphs are graphs whose adjacency matrix is singular with one-dimensional null space spanned by a vector with no zero entries. In a recent paper, Bašić, Fowler and Pisanski proved that the automorphism group of a nut graph has more orbits on the edge set than on the vertex set. They classified all orders for which a vertex-transitive nut graph with precisely two edge orbits exists, and conjectured that a nut graph with two vertex and three edge orbits exists for each non-prime order $n \ge 9$. Motivated by this conjecture, we introduce a very general construction that provides graphs with the desired symmetry properties, and we determine some sufficient spectral and structural conditions under which they are nut graphs. The construction yields infinite families of examples and confirms the above conjecture for all odd non-prime orders up to $2\,500$ and for at least $99.8$ percent of all odd non-prime orders up to a million. Finally, we present some additional interesting examples of nut graphs with two vertex and three edge orbits that do not arise from this construction.

On vertex-minimal simplicial maps to the sphere

For positive integers $n,d$, let $λ(n,d)$ be the minimal number of vertices of a triangulation of the $n$-sphere which admits a degree $d$ simplicial map onto the boundary of the $(n+1)$-simplex. We show that for $h=\lfloor\frac{n+1}2\rfloor$, the function $λ(n,d)^h$ has linear order of growth in $d$, answering a question of O. Musin. All triangulations we obtained are isomorphic to boundaries of convex polytopes in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$.
