On Local Operations that Preserve Symmetries and on Preserving Polyhedrality of Embeddings

Abstract

We prove that local operations that preserve all symmetries, as e.g. dual, truncation, ambo, or join,, as well as local operations that preserve all symmetries except orientation reversing ones, as e.g. gyro or snub, preserve the polyhedrality of simple embedded graphs. This generalizes a result by Mohar proving this for the operation dual. We give the proof based on an abstract characterization of these operations, prove that the operations are well defined, and also demonstrate the close connection between these operations and Delaney-Dress symbols. We also discuss more general operations not coming from 3-connected simple tilings of the plane.

Rooted Spider Embeddings and the Erd\H os-Sós Conjecture

Under a local density condition, we prove that every $k$-edge spider embeds at any prescribed center of degree at least $k$, unless all legs are even and the host graph has one of two specified structures. These structures contain complete bipartite subgraphs with prescribed neighborhoods. The proof uses path rerouting and three exchange lemmas that describe equality in neighborhood estimates. As a consequence, we recover the Erd\H os-Sós bound for all spiders.

Generalized Goulden-Yong duals and signed minimal factorizations

In this paper, we give two combinatorial ways to study signed exceptional sequences. First, we show the equivalence between one-way reflections and relatively projective representations. Secondly, we construct generalized Goulden-Yong duals using reverse Garside element actions and folded chord diagrams. We then give two applications of the generalized Goulden-Yong duals: constructing generalized Prüfer codes and counting signed factorizations using the matrix-tree theorem.

Explicit expressions for iterates of power series

We present several formulas for both the discrete and fractional iterates of an invertible power series $f$, using a new unifying approach based on umbral calculus. Known formulas are extended, and their proofs simplified, while new expressions are introduced. In particular, by employing $q$-calculus identities, we eliminate the requirement for $f'(0)$ to equal $1$ and the resulting general expressions for the iterative logarithm are obtained as well.
