Hyperbolic generalized triangle groups, property (T) and finite simple quotients
Abstract We construct several series of explicit presentations of infinite hyperbolic groups enjoying Kazhdan's property (T). Some of them are significantly shorter than the previously known shortest examples. Moreover, we show that some of those hyperbolic Kazhdan groups possess finite simple quotient groups of arbitrarily large rank; they constitute ...

Cayley and Tutte polytopes [PDF]
Cayley polytopes were defined recently as convex hulls of Cayley compositions introduced by Cayley in 1857. In this paper we resolve Braun's conjecture, which expresses the volume of Cayley polytopes in terms of the number of connected graphs.

Abstract In this article, we investigate the structure of uniformly k $k$‐connected and uniformly k $k$‐edge‐connected graphs. Whereas both types have previously been studied independent of each other, we analyze relations between these two classes. We prove that any uniformly k $k$‐connected graph is also uniformly k $k$‐edge‐connected for k≤3 $k\le 3$

Arithmetic matroids and Tutte polynomials [PDF]
We introduce the notion of arithmetic matroid, whose main example is provided by a list of elements in a finitely generated abelian group. We study the representability of its dual, and, guided by the geometry of toric arrangements, we give a ...

On the Tutte-Krushkal-Renardy polynomial for cell complexes [PDF]
Recently V. Krushkal and D. Renardy generalized the Tutte polynomial from graphs to cell complexes. We show that evaluating this polynomial at the origin gives the number of cellular spanning trees in the sense of A. Duval, C. Klivans, and J.

Tutte Polynomials and Link Polynomials [PDF]
We show how the Tutte polynomial of a plane graph can be evaluated as the "homfly" polynomial of an associated oriented link. Then we discuss some consequences for the partition function of the Potts model, the Four Color Problem and the time complexity of the computation of the homfly polynomial.

Enumerating conjugacy classes of graphical groups over finite fields
Abstract Each graph and choice of a commutative ring gives rise to an associated graphical group. In this article, we introduce and investigate graph polynomials that enumerate conjugacy classes of graphical groups over finite fields according to their sizes.

Cumulants of the q-semicircular law, Tutte polynomials, and heaps [PDF]
The q-semicircular law as introduced by Bożejko and Speicher interpolates between the Gaussian law and the semicircular law, and its moments have a combinatorial interpretation in terms of matchings and crossings.

On the rooted Tutte polynomial [PDF]
The Tutte polynomial is a generalization of the chromatic polynomial of graph colorings. Here we present an extension called the rooted Tutte polynomial, which is defined on a graph where one or more vertices are colored with prescribed colors.

TinyAD: Automatic Differentiation in Geometry Processing Made Simple
Abstract Non‐linear optimization is essential to many areas of geometry processing research. However, when experimenting with different problem formulations or when prototyping new algorithms, a major practical obstacle is the need to figure out derivatives of objective functions, especially when second‐order derivatives are required.
