On 1-factorizations of Bipartite Kneser Graphs
It is a challenging open problem to construct an explicit 1-factorization of
the bipartite Kneser graph , which contains as vertices all -element
and -element subsets of and an edge between any
two vertices when one is a subset of the other. In this paper, we propose a new
framework for designing such 1-factorizations, by which we solve a nontrivial
case where and is an odd prime power. We also revisit two classic
constructions for the case --- the \emph{lexical factorization} and
\emph{modular factorization}. We provide their simplified definitions and study
their inner structures. As a result, an optimal algorithm is designed for
computing the lexical factorizations. (An analogous algorithm for the modular
factorization is trivial.)Comment: We design the first explicit 1-factorization of H(2,q), where q is a
odd prime powe
Higher melonic theories
We classify a large set of melonic theories with arbitrary -fold
interactions, demonstrating that the interaction vertices exhibit a range of
symmetries, always of the form for some , which may be .
The number of different theories proliferates quickly as increases above
and is related to the problem of counting one-factorizations of complete
graphs. The symmetries of the interaction vertex lead to an effective
interaction strength that enters into the Schwinger-Dyson equation for the
two-point function as well as the kernel used for constructing higher-point
functions.Comment: 43 pages, 12 figure
