Categorification of the Dichromatic Polynomial for Graphs

نویسنده

چکیده

For each graph and each positive integer n, we define a chain complex whose graded Euler characteristic is equal to an appropriate nspecialization of the dichromatic polynomial. This also gives a categorification of n-specializations of the Tutte polynomial of graphs. Also, for each graph and integer n ≤ 2, we define the different one variable n-specializations of the dichromatic polynomials, and for each polynomial we define graded chain complex whose graded Euler characteristic is equal to that polynomial. Furthermore, we explicitly categorify the specialization of the Tutte polynomial for graphs which corresponds to the Jones polynomial of the appropriate alternating link.

On Dichromatic Polynomials

A study is made of the combinatorial properties of the dichromatic polynomials of graphs, especially those properties theoretically applicable to the recursive calculation of the polynomials. The dichromatic polynomials of the complete graphs are determined and a contribution is made to the theory of chromatic roots.

New 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...

The 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...

A Dichromatic Polynomial for Weighted Graphs and Link Polynomials

A dichromatic polynomial for weighted graphs is presented. The Kauffman bracket of a signed graph, an invariant inspired by the Jones polynomial of a link in three-space, is shown to be essentially an evaluation of this dichromatic polynomial, as are the homfly polynomials of certain particular types of links. 1. THE DICHROMATIC POLYNOMIAL OF A WEIGHTED GRAPH In this note we use the term graph ...

Polynomial Tutte Invariants of Rooted Integral Gain Graphs

We present dichromatic and tree-expansion polynomials of integral gain graphs that underlie the problem of counting lattice points in the complement of an integral affinographic hyperplane arrangement. This is a step towards finding the universal Tutte invariant of rooted integral gain graphs. Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000): Primary 05C22; Secondary 05C15.
