چکیده

In this article, we propose a generalization of the notion of chordal graphs to signed graphs, which is based on the existence of a perfect elimination ordering for a chordal graph. We give a special kind of filtrations of the generalized chordal graphs, and show a characterization of those graphs. Moreover, we also describe a relation between signed graphs and a certain class of multiarrangements of hyperplanes, and show a characterization of free multiarrangements in that class in terms of the generalized chordal graphs, which generalizes a well-known result by Stanley on free hyperplane arrangements. Finally, we give a remark on a relation of our results with a recent conjecture by Athanasiadis on freeness characterization for another class of hyperplane arrangements. Résumé. Dans cet article, nous proposons une généralisation de la notion des graphes triangulés à graphes signés, qui est basé sur l’existence d’un ordre d’élimination simplicial à un graphe triangulé. Nous donnons un genre spécial de filtrations des graphes triangulés généralisés, et montrons une caractérisation de ces graphes. De plus, nous décrivons aussi une relation entre graphes signés et une certaine classe de multicompositions d’hyperplans, et montrons une caractérisation de multicompositions libres dans cette classe en termes des graphes triangulés généralisés, qui généralise un résultat célèbre de Stanley sur compositions libres d’hyperplans. Finalement, nous donnons une remarque sur une relation de nos résultats avec une conjecture récente d’Athanasiadis sur une caractérisation du freeness d’une autre classe de compositions d’hyperplans.

Bicolor-eliminable graphs and free multiplicities on the braid arrangement

We define specific multiplicities on the braid arrangement by using edge-bicolored graphs. To consider their freeness, we introduce the notion of bicolor-eliminable graphs as a generalization of Stanley’s classification theory of free graphic arrangements by chordal graphs. This generalization gives us a complete classification of the free multiplicities defined above. As an application, we pro...

On Free Deformations of the Braid Arrangement

There has been considerable interest in the past in analyzing specific families of hyperplane arrangements from the perspective of freeness. Examples of such families have primarily included classes of subarrangements of Coxeter arrangements. The subarrangements of the braid arrangement An , the Weyl arrangement of type An−1, are known as the graphical arrangements. They correspond naturally to...

On the signed Roman edge k-domination in graphs

Let $kgeq 1$ be an integer, and $G=(V,E)$ be a finite and simplegraph. The closed neighborhood $N_G[e]$ of an edge $e$ in a graph$G$ is the set consisting of $e$ and all edges having a commonend-vertex with $e$. A signed Roman edge $k$-dominating function(SREkDF) on a graph $G$ is a function $f:E rightarrow{-1,1,2}$ satisfying the conditions that (i) for every edge $e$of $G$, $sum _{xin N[e]} f...

A characterization of signed graphs with generalized perfect elimination orderings

An important property of chordal graphs is that these graphs are characterized by existence of perfect elimination orderings on their vertex sets. In this paper, we generalize the notion of perfect elimination orderings to signed graphs, and give a characterization for graphs admitting such orderings, together with characterizations restricted to some subclasses and further properties of those ...

Arrangements associated to chordal graphs and limits of colored braid groups

Let G be a chordal graph, X(G) the complement of the associated complex arrangement and Γ(G) the fundamental group of X(G). We show that Γ(G) is a limit of colored braid groups over the poset of simplices of G. When G = GT is the comparability graph associated with a rooted tree T , a case recently investigated by the first author, the result takes the following very simple form: Γ(GT ) is a li...
