Abelian networks III: The critical group [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Algebraic Combinatorics, 2015
The critical group of an abelian network is a finite abelian group that governs the behavior of the network on large inputs. It generalizes the sandpile group of a graph. We show that the critical group of an irreducible abelian network acts freely and transitively on recurrent states of the network.

The Critical Group of a Line Graph [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Combinatorics, 2009
The critical group of a graph is a finite abelian group whose order is the number of spanning forests of the graph. This paper provides three basic structural results on the critical group of a line graph.

Critical Groups of Simplicial Complexes [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2011
We generalize the theory of critical groups from graphs to simplicial complexes. Specifically, given a simplicial complex, we define a family of abelian groups in terms of combinatorial Laplacian operators, generalizing the construction of the critical ...

Exponent-critical groups [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Group Theory
We define and investigate the property of being “exponent-critical” for a finite group. A finite group is said to be exponent-critical if its exponent is not the least common multiple of the exponents of its proper non-abelian subgroups.

Chip-Firing and the Critical Group of a Graph [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Algebraic Combinatorics, 1999
Let \(G\) be a graph with perhaps multiple edges in which each vertex \(v\) is labeled with an integer \(s(v)\). A firing of a vertex is a modification of the vertex labeling increasing the label of each neighbor \(w\) of \(v\) by one for each edge between \(v\) and \(w\), and decreasing the label on \(v\) by the degree of \(v\) (essentially ...

Group interactions modulate critical mass dynamics in social convention [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications Physics, 2021
How can minorities of individuals overturn social conventions? The theory of critical mass states that when a committed minority reaches a critical size, a cascade of behavioural changes can occur, overturning apparently stable social norms.

Resonant problems for non-local elliptic operators with unbounded nonlinearites

open access: yesElectronic Research Archive, 2023
In this paper we study the existence of nontrivial solutions of a class of asymptotically resonant problems driven by a non-local integro-differential operator with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions by applying Morse theory and critical groups ...
