Graph Theory versus Minimum Rank for Index Coding [PDF]
We obtain novel index coding schemes and show that they provably outperform all previously known graph theoretic bounds proposed so far. Further, we establish a rather strong negative result: all known graph theoretic bounds are within a logarithmic factor from the chromatic number.

$C^{\star}$-algebras of higher-rank graphs from groups acting on buildings, and explicit computation of their K-theory [PDF]
We unite elements of category theory, K-theory, and geometric group theory, by defining a class of groups called $k$-cube groups, which act freely and transitively on the product of $k$ trees, for arbitrary $k$. The quotient of this action on the product of trees defines a $k$-dimensional cube complex, which induces a higher-rank graph.

Real and complex K-theory for higher rank graph algebras arising from cube complexes [PDF]
Using the Evans spectral sequence and its counter-part for real $K$-theory, we compute both the real and complex $K$-theory of several infinite families of $C^*$-algebras based on higher-rank graphs of rank $3$ and $4$. The higher-rank graphs we consider arise from double-covers of cube complexes. By considering the real and complex $K$-theory together,

On the
We investigate the K-theory of twisted higher-rank-graph algebras by adapting parts of Elliott's computation of the K-theory of the rotation algebras. We show that each 2-cocycle on a higher-rank graph taking values in an abelian group determines a continuous bundle of twisted higher-rank graph algebras over the dual group. We use this to show that for

THE K-THEORY OF THE -ALGEBRAS OF 2-RANK GRAPHS ASSOCIATED TO COMPLETE BIPARTITE GRAPHS [PDF]
AbstractUsing a result of Vdovina, we may associate to each complete connected bipartite graph$\kappa $a two-dimensional square complex, which we call a tile complex, whose link at each vertex is$\kappa $. We regard the tile complex in two different ways, each having a different structure as a$2$-rank graph.

Structure theory and stable rank for C*-algebras of finite higher-rank graphs [PDF]
AbstractWe study the structure and compute the stable rank of$C^{*}$-algebras of finite higher-rank graphs. We completely determine the stable rank of the$C^{*}$-algebra when the$k$-graph either contains no cycle with an entrance or is cofinal. We also determine exactly which finite, locally convex$k$-graphs yield unital stably finite$C^{*}$-algebras ...

A dual graph construction for higher-rank graphs, and 𝐾-theory for finite 2-graphs [PDF]
Given a k k -graph Λ \Lambda and an element p p of N k \mathbb {N}^k , we define the dual k k -graph, p Λ p\Lambda .

K-theory and homotopies of 2-cocycles on higher-rank graphs [PDF]
This paper continues our investigation into the question of when a homotopy $ = \{ _t\}_{t \in [0,1]}$ of 2-cocycles on a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid $\mathcal{G}$ gives rise to an isomorphism of the $K$-theory groups of the twisted groupoid $C^*$-algebras: $K_*(C^*(\mathcal{G}, _0)) \cong K_*(C^*(\mathcal{G}, _1)).$ In particular, we ...

A Note on Brill–Noether Theory and Rank-Determining Sets for Metric Graphs [PDF]
We produce open subsets of the moduli space of metric graphs without separating edges where the dimensions of Brill-Noether loci are larger than the corresponding Brill-Noether numbers. These graphs also have minimal rank determining sets that are larger than expected, giving couterexamples to a conjecture of Luo.
