Cluster varieties from Legendrian knots
Many interesting spaces --- including all positroid strata and wild character
varieties --- are moduli of constructible sheaves on a surface with
microsupport in a Legendrian link. We show that the existence of cluster
structures on these spaces may be deduced in a uniform, systematic fashion by
constructing and taking the sheaf quantizations of a set of exact Lagrangian
fillings in correspondence with isotopy representatives whose front projections
have crossings with alternating orientations. It follows in turn that results
in cluster algebra may be used to construct and distinguish exact Lagrangian
fillings of Legendrian links in the standard contact three space.Comment: 47 page
Rooted structures in graphs: a project on Hadwiger's conjecture, rooted minors, and Tutte cycles
Hadwigers Vermutung ist eine der anspruchsvollsten Vermutungen für Graphentheoretiker und bietet eine weitreichende Verallgemeinerung des Vierfarbensatzes. Ausgehend von dieser offenen Frage der strukturellen Graphentheorie werden gewurzelte Strukturen in Graphen diskutiert. Eine Transversale einer Partition ist definiert als eine Menge, welche genau ein Element aus jeder Menge der Partition enthält und sonst nichts. Für einen Graphen G und eine Teilmenge T seiner Knotenmenge ist ein gewurzelter Minor von G ein Minor, der T als Transversale seiner Taschen enthält. Sei T eine Transversale einer Färbung eines Graphen, sodass es ein System von kanten-disjunkten Wegen zwischen allen Knoten aus T gibt; dann stellt sich die Frage, ob es möglich ist, die Existenz eines vollständigen, in T gewurzelten Minors zu gewährleisten. Diese Frage ist eng mit Hadwigers Vermutung verwoben: Eine positive Antwort würde Hadwigers Vermutung für eindeutig färbbare Graphen bestätigen. In dieser Arbeit wird ebendiese Fragestellung untersucht sowie weitere Konzepte vorgestellt, welche bekannte Ideen der strukturellen Graphentheorie um eine Verwurzelung erweitern. Beispielsweise wird diskutiert, inwiefern hoch zusammenhängende Teilmengen der Knotenmenge einen hoch zusammenhängenden, gewurzelten Minor erzwingen. Zudem werden verschiedene Ideen von Hamiltonizität in planaren und nicht-planaren Graphen behandelt.Hadwiger's Conjecture is one of the most tantalising conjectures for graph theorists and offers a far-reaching generalisation of the Four-Colour-Theorem. Based on this major issue in structural graph theory, this thesis explores rooted structures in graphs. A transversal of a partition is a set which contains exactly one element from each member of the partition and nothing else. Given a graph G and a subset T of its vertex set, a rooted minor of G is a minor such that T is a transversal of its branch set. Assume that a graph has a transversal T of one of its colourings such that there is a system of edge-disjoint paths between all vertices from T; it comes natural to ask whether such graphs contain a minor rooted at T. This question of containment is strongly related to Hadwiger's Conjecture; indeed, a positive answer would prove Hadwiger's Conjecture for uniquely colourable graphs. This thesis studies the aforementioned question and besides, presents several other concepts of attaching rooted relatedness to ideas in structural graph theory. For instance, whether a highly connected subset of the vertex set forces a highly connected rooted minor. Moreover, several ideas of Hamiltonicity in planar and non-planar graphs are discussed

Algorithms to Exploit Data Sparsity
While data in the real world is very high-dimensional, it generally has some underlying structure; for instance, if we think of an image as a set of pixels with associated color values, most possible settings of color values correspond to something more like random noise than what we typically think of as a picture. With an appropriate transformation of basis, this underlying structure can often be converted into sparsity in data, giving an equivalent representation of the data where the magnitude is large in only a few directions relative to the ambient dimension. This motivates a variety of theoretical questions around designing algorithms that can exploit this data sparsity to achieve better performance than what would be possible naively, and in this thesis we tackle several such questions.We first examine the question of simply approximating the level of sparsity of a signal under several different measurement models, a natural first step if the sparsity is to be exploited by other algorithms. Second, we look at a particular sparse signal recovery problem called nonadaptive probabilistic group testing, and investigate the question of exactly how sparse the signal needs to be before the methods used for recovering sparse signals outperform those used for non-sparse signals. Third, we prove novel upper bounds on the number of measurements needed to recover a sparse signal in the universal one-bit compressed sensing model of sparse signal recovery. Fourth, we give some approximations of an information-theoretic quantity called the index coding rate of a network modeled by a graph, in the special case that the graph is sparse or otherwise highly structured. For each of the problems considered, we also discuss some remaining open questions and conjectures, as well as possible directions towards their solutions

List Coloring Some Classes of 1-Planar Graphs
In list coloring we are given a graph G and a list assignment for G which assigns to each vertex of G a list of possible colors. We wish to find a coloring of the vertices of G such that each vertex uses a color from its list and adjacent vertices are given different colors. In this thesis we study the problem of list coloring 1-planar graphs, i.e., graphs that can be drawn in the plane such that any edge intersects at most one other edge. We also study the closely related problem of simultaneously list coloring the vertices and faces of a planar graph, known as coupled list coloring.
We show that 1-planar bipartite graphs are list colorable whenever all lists are of size at least four, and further show that this coloring can be found in linear time. In pursuit of this result, we show that the previously known edge partition of a 1-planar graph into a planar graph and a forest can be found in linear time.
A wheel graph consists of a cycle of vertices, all of which are adjacent to an additional center vertex. We show that wheel graphs are coupled list colorable when all lists are of size five or more and show that this coloring can be found in linear time. Possible extensions of this result to planar partial 3-trees are discussed.
Finally, we discuss the complexity of list coloring 1-planar graphs, both in parameterized and unparameterized settings
