    A Little Statistical Mechanics for the Graph Theorist

    In this survey, we give a friendly introduction from a graph theory perspective to the q-state Potts model, an important statistical mechanics tool for analyzing complex systems in which nearest neighbor interactions determine the aggregate behavior of the system. We present the surprising equivalence of the Potts model partition function and one of the most renowned graph invariants, the Tutte polynomial, a relationship that has resulted in a remarkable synergy between the two fields of study. We highlight some of these interconnections, such as computational complexity results that have alternated between the two fields. The Potts model captures the effect of temperature on the system and plays an important role in the study of thermodynamic phase transitions. We discuss the equivalence of the chromatic polynomial and the zero-temperature antiferromagnetic partition function, and how this has led to the study of the complex zeros of these functions. We also briefly describe Monte Carlo simulations commonly used for Potts model analysis of complex systems. The Potts model has applications as widely varied as magnetism, tumor migration, foam behaviors, and social demographics, and we provide a sampling of these that also demonstrates some variations of the Potts model. We conclude with some current areas of investigation that emphasize graph theoretic approaches. This paper is an elementary general audience survey, intended to popularize the area and provide an accessible first point of entry for further exploration.Comment: 30 pages, 3 figure

    Specht modules and chromatic polynomials

    AbstractAn explicit formula for the chromatic polynomials of certain families of graphs, called `bracelets', is obtained. The terms correspond to irreducible representations of symmetric groups. The theory is developed using the standard bases for the Specht modules of representation theory, and leads to an effective means of calculation
