Abstract

We develop a Hopf-algebraic theory of the graph coefficients arising in the quantum Magnus expansion. At the classical level, the graph expansion is governed by directed trees, whereas its quantum counterpart involves loop graphs, multiple edges, and different types of edge data. We introduce a contraction Hopf algebra of mixed quivers containing these physical diagrams and closed under contraction. On the Hopf subalgebra spanned by quivers, we define a character $e$ from normalized linear-extension data and a tadpole prescription, and let $ω$ be its convolution inverse. Our main result is a universal closed formula for the connected function $ω_c$ on every finite quiver. The formula is a finite sum over ordered set partitions of the vertex set and is valid without acyclicity or simplicity assumptions. We also give a local characterization: a two-vertex contraction identity, together with tadpole factorization, vanishing on disconnected graphs, and boundary data, determines $ω_c$ uniquely. For acyclic quivers, the general formula reduces to a permutation formula whose coefficients depend only on descent numbers. We derive the same formula independently from the quantum Magnus expansion via operator products and Wick contractions, showing that its physical graph coefficients are governed by the convolution structure of the contraction Hopf algebra. As further consequences, we obtain a refined quantum Murua formula and orientation-sum identities related to Tutte and chromatic polynomials.

The Rainbow Saturation Number of Cycles

An edge-colored graph $(G,\mathcal C)$ is $F$-rainbow saturated if it contains no rainbow copy of $F$, but adding any nonedge in any prescribed color creates one. The rainbow saturation number $\operatorname{rsat}(n,F)$ is the minimum number of edges in such a graph of order $n$. In this paper we study $\operatorname{rsat}(n,C_r)$. We determine the value for $C_4$ exactly, and establish bounds for every fixed $C_r$ with $r\geq5$.

Moreira's Theorem for Image Partition Regular Matrices

The famous Hindman conjecture says that for any finite coloring of natural numbers, there exists a monochromatic copy of the form $\{x,x+y,xy\}.$ In a celebrated article, Moreira gave a partial answer to this conjecture by showing that every finite coloring of the natural numbers contains a monochromatic configuration of the form $\{x, x+y, xy\}$. In this article we prove matrix versions (both finite and infinite) of Moreira's theorem. A matrix $A$ is said to be an image partition regular matrix if for any finite coloring of naturals, there exists a monochromatic image of $A,$ i.e. there exists a vector $\vec X$ such that all the entries of $A\vec X$ are monochromatic. From a recent paper of Bowen, one can derive the finite matrix version of the Moreira theorem: if $A$ and $B$ are two finite image partition regular matrices of the same order, then under any finite coloring of $\mathbb{N}$, there exist vectors $\vec{X}$ and $\vec{Y}$ such that all entries in the union of $A\vec{X}, A\vec{X} + B\vec{Y}, A\vec{X} \cdot B\vec{Y}$ are monochromatic, where $A\vec{X} \cdot B\vec{Y}$ denote the vector each of its entries are pointwise multiplication of the coordinates of $A\vec{X} \text{ and } B\vec{Y}$. In this article, we give a short combinatorial proof of this result, and then we extend it to infinite image partition regular matrices.

Explicit enumeration and large-valence asymptotics of even-valent maps

Let $\mathscr{N}_g(2ν,j)$ denote the number of connected labelled $2ν$-valent maps of genus $g$ with $j$ vertices. Explicit bivariate formulae for $\mathscr{N}_g(2ν,j)$ have been available only in the planar and toroidal cases. Using a structural formula of Ercolani et al (2023), we translate the problem of determining an explicit bivariate formula for $\mathscr{N}_g(2ν,j)$, $g \geq 2$, to finding finitely many counts with a fixed number of vertices. For $g=2,3$ and $4$ we determine these counts using the associated orthogonal polynomials, yielding explicit bivariate formulae for $\mathscr{N}_g(2ν,j)$ in these genera. Furthermore, the same method applies for every $g\ge5$ at the cost of additional computation. From these formulae we obtain the leading-order asymptotics of $\mathscr{N}_g(2ν,j)$ as $ν\to\infty$ for $g=2,3,4$, and we conjecture the structure of these formulae in general genus. In addition, we establish an analogous reduction to finitely many counts, derive explicit formulae and large-valence asymptotics, and formulate corresponding conjectures for two-legged even-valent maps.
