A sufficient condition for a graph to be weakly k-linked
AbstractFor a pair (s, t) of vertices of a graph G, let λG(s, t) denote the maximal number of edge-disjoint paths between s and t. Let (s1, t1), (s2, t2), (s3, t3) be pairs of vertices of G and k > 2. It is shown that if λG(si, ti) ≥ 2k + 1 for each i = 1, 2, 3, then there exist 2k + 1 edge-disjoint paths such that one joins s1 and t1, another joins s2 and t2 and the others join s3 and t3. As a corollary, every (2k + 1)-edge-connected graph is weakly (k + 2)-linked for k ≥ 2, where a graph is weakly k-linked if for any k vertex pairs (si, ti), 1 ≤ i ≤ k, there exist k edge-disjoint paths P1, P2,…, Pk such that Pi joins si and ti for i = 1, 2,…, k
Weak Decoherence and Quantum Trajectory Graphs
Griffiths' ``quantum trajectories'' formalism is extended to describe weak
decoherence. The decoherence conditions are shown to severely limit the
complexity of histories composed of fine-grained events.Comment: 12 pages, LaTeX, 3 figures (uses psfig), all in a uuencoded

Coning-off CAT(0) cube complexes
In this paper, we study the geometry of cone-offs of CAT(0) cube complexes
over a family of combinatorially convex subcomplexes, with an emphasis on their
Gromov-hyperbolicity. A first application gives a direct cubical proof of the
characterization of the (strong) relative hyperbolicity of right-angled Coxeter
groups, which is a particular case of a result due to Behrstock, Caprace and
Hagen. A second application gives the acylindrical hyperbolicity of
small cancellation quotients of free products.Comment: 45 pages, 13 figures. Comments are welcom
Percolation on an infinitely generated group
We give an example of a long range Bernoulli percolation process on a group
non-quasi-isometric with , in which clusters are almost surely
finite for all values of the parameter. This random graph admits diverse
equivalent definitions, and we study their ramifications. We also study its
expected size and point out certain phase transitions.Comment: 23 page
Symmetric Determinantal Representation of Formulas and Weakly Skew Circuits
We deploy algebraic complexity theoretic techniques for constructing
symmetric determinantal representations of for00504925mulas and weakly skew
circuits. Our representations produce matrices of much smaller dimensions than
those given in the convex geometry literature when applied to polynomials
having a concise representation (as a sum of monomials, or more generally as an
arithmetic formula or a weakly skew circuit). These representations are valid
in any field of characteristic different from 2. In characteristic 2 we are led
to an almost complete solution to a question of B\"urgisser on the
VNP-completeness of the partial permanent. In particular, we show that the
partial permanent cannot be VNP-complete in a finite field of characteristic 2
unless the polynomial hierarchy collapses.Comment: To appear in the AMS Contemporary Mathematics volume on
