Abstract

We initiate a systematic study of Inc-invariant chains of graphs, the combinatorial counterparts of Inc-invariant chains of edge ideals arising in the theory of equivariant Noetherianity. Such a chain consists of graphs on growing vertex sets whose edge sets are compatible with the action of the monoid of strictly increasing maps on the positive integers. We show that several associated combinatorial invariants exhibit rigid asymptotic behavior. The independence number eventually stabilizes, and every fixed entry of the $f$-vector and the $h$-vector of the independence complex is eventually linear. For clique complexes, every fixed entry of the $f$-vector is eventually polynomial, whereas the entries of the $h$-vector are eventually quasi-polynomial. Moreover, the clique and chromatic numbers are eventually quasi-linear, and their difference is eventually at most one. We also prove that the matching number eventually attains the maximal value $\lfloor n/2\rfloor$. Finally, admissible and minimal paths eventually have lengths at most $3$ and $5$, respectively, and their maximal lengths stabilize. These results reveal strong asymptotic regularity in graph families governed by increasing symmetry.

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