On the homology of locally finite graphs

چکیده
We show that the topological cycle space of a locally finite graph is a canonical quotient of the first singular homology group of its Freudenthal compactification, and we characterize the graphs for which the two coincide. We construct a new singular-type homology for non-compact spaces with ends, which in dimension 1 captures precisely the topological cycle space of graphs but works in any dimension.

An Alexandroff topology on graphs
Let G = (V,E) be a locally finite graph, i.e. a graph in which every vertex has finitely many adjacent vertices. In this paper, we associate a topology to G, called graphic topology of G and we show that it is an Alexandroff topology, i.e. a topology in which intersec- tion of every family of open sets is open. Then we investigate some properties of this topology. Our motivation is to give an e...

متن کاملOrthogonality and Minimality in the Homology of Locally Finite Graphs
Given a finite set E, a subset D ✓ E (viewed as a function E ! F2) is orthogonal to a given subspace F of the F2-vector space of functions E ! F2 as soon as D is orthogonal to every ✓-minimal element of F . This fails in general when E is infinite. However, we prove the above statement for the six subspaces F of the edge space of any 3-connected locally finite graph that are relevant to its hom...
متن کاملOn Laplacian energy of non-commuting graphs of finite groups
Let $G$ be a finite non-abelian group with center $Z(G)$. The non-commuting graph of $G$ is a simple undirected graph whose vertex set is $Gsetminus Z(G)$ and two vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $xy ne yx$. In this paper, we compute Laplacian energy of the non-commuting graphs of some classes of finite non-abelian groups..
