Recent developments in algebraic combinatorics

open access: yes, 2004
A survey of three recent developments in algebraic combinatorics: (1) the Laurent phenomenon, (2) Gromov-Witten invariants and toric Schur functions, and (3) toric h-vectors and intersection cohomology. This paper is a continuation of "Recent progress in

Rational Combinatorics

open access: yes, 2007
We propose a categorical setting for the study of the combinatorics of rational numbers. We find combinatorial interpretation for the Bernoulli and Euler numbers and polynomials.Comment: Adv. in Appl. Math.

Hopf algebras and the combinatorics of connected graphs in quantum field theory

open access: yes, 2008
In this talk, we are concerned with the formulation and understanding of the combinatorics of time-ordered n-point functions in terms of the Hopf algebra of field operators.

Combinatorics of free cumulants [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
We derive a formula for expressing free cumulants whose entries are products of random variables in terms of the lattice structure of non-crossing partitions. We show the usefulness of that result by giving direct and conceptually simple proofs for a lot

The Directed Oberwolfach Problem With Variable Cycle Lengths: A Recursive Construction

open access: yesJournal of Combinatorial Designs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The directed Oberwolfach problem OP*(m1,…,mk) ${\text{OP}}^{* }({m}_{1},{\rm{\ldots }},{m}_{k})$ asks whether the complete symmetric digraph Kn* ${K}_{n}^{* }$, assuming n=m1+⋯+mk $n={m}_{1}+{\rm{\cdots }}+{m}_{k}$, admits a decomposition into spanning subdigraphs, each a disjoint union of k $k$ directed cycles of lengths m1,…,mk ${m}_{1},{\rm{

Putatively Optimal Projective Spherical Designs With Little Apparent Symmetry

open access: yesJournal of Combinatorial Designs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We give some new explicit examples of putatively optimal projective spherical designs, that is, ones for which there is numerical evidence that they are of minimal size. These form continuous families, and so have little apparent symmetry in general, which requires the introduction of new techniques for their construction.

Alexander Duality and Rational Associahedra [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A recent pair of papers of Armstrong, Loehr, and Warrington and Armstrong, Williams, and the author initiated the systematic study of {\em rational Catalan combinatorics} which is a generalization of Fuss-Catalan combinatorics (which is in turn a ...

Independent Sets of Random Trees and Sparse Random Graphs

open access: yesJournal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An independent set of size k $k$ in a finite undirected graph G $G$ is a set of k $k$ vertices of the graph, no two of which are connected by an edge. Let xk ( G ) ${x}_{k}(G)$ be the number of independent sets of size k $k$ in the graph G $G$ and let α ( G ) = max { k ≥ 0 : x k ( G ) ≠ 0 } $\alpha (G)=\max \{k\ge 0:{x}_{k}(G)\ne 0\}$. In 1987,

Supersymmetry and Combinatorics

open access: yes, 2006
We show how a recently proposed supersymmetric quantum mechanics model leads to non-trivial results/conjectures on the combinatorics of binary necklaces and linear-feedback shift-registers.

Conformal Hypergraphs: Duality and Implications for the Upper Clique Transversal Problem

open access: yesJournal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Given a hypergraph H ${\rm{ {\mathcal H} }}$, the dual hypergraph of H ${\rm{ {\mathcal H} }}$ is the hypergraph of all minimal transversals of H ${\rm{ {\mathcal H} }}$. The dual hypergraph is always Sperner, that is, no hyperedge contains another.
