Gorenstein Simplices and Even Binary Self-Complementary Codes

Abstract

It is known that if a Gorenstein simplex of dimension \(d\) and degree \(s\) is not a lattice pyramid, then \(d \leq 2s-1\). In this paper, we study the extremal case \(d=2s-1\). More precisely, we characterize Gorenstein simplices of dimension \(2s-1\) and degree \(s\) which are not lattice pyramids in terms of even binary self-complementary codes. As an application, combining this characterization with existing classification results on reflexive simplices, we classify Gorenstein simplices of degree \(3\) and \(4\). Equivalently, we classify polarized \(d\)-dimensional Gorenstein fake weighted projective spaces \((X,L)\) satisfying $-K_X=(d-2)L$ or $-K_X=(d-3)L$, where \(-K_X\) is the anticanonical divisor of \(X\) and \(L\) is a Cartier divisor on \(X\).

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 $n$.
