چکیده
Given a graph we show how to construct a family of manifolds whose Euler characteristics are the values of the chromatic polynomial of the graph at various integers. The manifolds are simple generalisations of configuration spaces.

Chromatic Harmonic Indices and Chromatic Harmonic Polynomials of Certain Graphs
In the main this paper introduces the concept of chromatic harmonic polynomials denoted, $H^chi(G,x)$ and chromatic harmonic indices denoted, $H^chi(G)$ of a graph $G$. The new concept is then applied to finding explicit formula for the minimum (maximum) chromatic harmonic polynomials and the minimum (maximum) chromatic harmonic index of certain graphs. It is also applied to split graphs and ce...
متن کاملNew Categorifications of the Chromatic and the Dichromatic Polynomials for Graphs
In this paper, for each graphG, we define a chain complex of graded modules over the ring of polynomials, whose graded Euler characteristic is equal to the chromatic polynomial of G. We also define a chain complex of doubly graded modules, whose (doubly) graded Euler characteristic is equal to the dichromatic polynomial of G. Both constructions use Koszul complexes, and are similar to the new K...
متن کاملChromatic polynomials of some nanostars
Let G be a simple graph and (G,) denotes the number of proper vertex colourings of G with at most colours, which is for a fixed graph G , a polynomial in , which is called the chromatic polynomial of G . Using the chromatic polynomial of some specific graphs, we obtain the chromatic polynomials of some nanostars.
متن کاملViewing Some Ordinary Differential Equations from the Angle of Derivative Polynomials
In the paper, the authors view some ordinary differential equations and their solutions from the angle of (the generalized) derivative polynomials and simplify some known identities for the Bernoulli numbers and polynomials, the Frobenius-Euler polynomials, the Euler numbers and polynomials, in terms of the Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds.
متن کاملThe Chromatic Polynomial of Fatgraphs and Its Categorification
Motivated by Khovanov homology and relations between the Jones polynomial and graph polynomials, we construct a homology theory for embedded graphs from which the chromatic polynomial can be recovered as the Euler characteristic. For plane graphs, we show that our chromatic homology can be recovered from the Khovanov homology of an associated link. We apply this connection with Khovanov homolog...
