Abstract

Our main results in this paper are new equidistributions on plane trees and $132$-avoiding permutations, two closely related objects. As for the former, we discover a characteristic for vertices of plane trees that is equally distributed as the height for vertices. The latter is concerned with four distinct ways of decomposing a $132$-avoiding permutation into subsequences. We show combinatorially that the subsequence length distributions of the four decompositions are mutually equivalent, and there is a way to group the four into two groups such that each group is symmetric and the joint length distribution of one group is the same as that of the other. Some consequences are discussed. For instance, we provide a new refinement of the equidistribution of internal vertices and leaves, and present new sets of $132$-avoiding permutations that are counted by the Motzkin numbers and their refinements.

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 $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$.
