    We provide proofs of the following theorems by considering the entropy of random walks: Theorem 1.(Alon, Hoory and Linial) Let G be an undirected simple graph with n vertices, girth g, minimum degree at least 2 and average degree d: Odd girth: If g=2r+1,then n \geq 1 + d*(\Sum_{i=0}^{r-1}(d-1)^i) Even girth: If g=2r,then n \geq 2*(\Sum_{i=0}^{r-1} (d-1)^i) Theorem 2.(Hoory) Let G = (V_L,V_R,E) be a bipartite graph of girth g = 2r, with n_L = |V_L| and n_R = |V_R|, minimum degree at least 2 and the left and right average degrees d_L and d_R. Then, n_L \geq \Sum_{i=0}^{r-1}(d_R-1)^{i/2}(d_L-1)^{i/2} n_R \geq \Sum_{i=0}^{r-1}(d_L-1)^{i/2}(d_R-1)^{i/2}Comment: 6 page

    BPS Graphs: From Spectral Networks to BPS Quivers

    Full text link
    We define "BPS graphs" on punctured Riemann surfaces associated with AN−1A_{N-1} theories of class S\mathcal{S}. BPS graphs provide a bridge between two powerful frameworks for studying the spectrum of BPS states: spectral networks and BPS quivers. They arise from degenerate spectral networks at maximal intersections of walls of marginal stability on the Coulomb branch. While the BPS spectrum is ill-defined at such intersections, a BPS graph captures a useful basis of elementary BPS states. The topology of a BPS graph encodes a BPS quiver, even for higher-rank theories and for theories with certain partial punctures. BPS graphs lead to a geometric realization of the combinatorics of Fock-Goncharov NN-triangulations and generalize them in several ways.Comment: 48 pages, 44 figure

    Analysis Of The Girth For Regular Bi-partite Graphs With Degree 3

    Full text link
    The goal of this paper is to derive the detailed description of the Enumeration Based Search Algorithm from the high level description provided in [16], analyze the experimental results from our implementation of the Enumeration Based Search Algorithm for finding a regular bi-partite graph of degree 3, and compare it with known results from the available literature. We show that the values of m for a given girth g for (m, 3) BTUs are within the known mathematical bounds for regular bi-partitite graphs from the available literature
