Abstract

The main object of this work is the top-dimensional Laplacian operator of a simplicial complex $K$. We study its spectral limiting behavior under a given non-trivial subdivision procedure $\text{div}$. It will be shown that in case $\text{div}$ satisfies a property we call inclusion-uniformity its spectrum converges to a universal limiting distribution only depending on the dimension of $K$. This class of subdivisions contains important special cases such as the edgewise subdivision $\text{esd}_r$ for $r\geq 2$ and dimension $d=2$ or the barycentric subdivision $\text{sd}$. This parallels a result of Brenti and Welker showing that the roots of $f$-polynomials of iterated barycentric subdivisions converge to a universal set of roots only depending on the dimension of $K$. Furthermore we determine the family of universal limiting functions for the particular subdivision where the top dimensional faces are replaced by a cone over their boundary. We will show that this choice of $\text{div}$ is the natural generalization of graph subdivision in the spectral sense. These limits are obtained by explicit spectral decimation of the sequence of its dual graphs which is represented as a sequence of Schreier graphs on a rooted regular tree. Finally we will point out that a generic sequence of iterated subdivisions can be realized by a sequence of graphs as in spectral analysis on fractals. We will give a construction of a self-similar sequence of graphs which dualizes the iterated application of subdivision.

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