Three formulas for CSM classes of open quiver loci

Abstract

In the space of equioriented type $A$ quiver representations, we define subvarieties called "open quiver loci" by placing strict rank conditions on the maps within representations. The closures of these subvarieties are the quiver loci, whose equivariant cohomology classes are the quiver polynomials of Buch and Fulton. We present one geometric formula and two combinatorial formulas that compute equivariant Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson (CSM) classes of open quiver loci; these classes refine the data of the quiver polynomials. The second combinatorial formula is in terms of "chained generic pipe dreams," which modify the pipe dreams of Bergeron and Billey to more strongly resemble the lacing diagrams of Abeasis and Del Fra.

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 $n$.
