چکیده

We show that any subgraph of the hypercube Qn of average degree d contains a geodesic of length d, where by geodesic we mean a shortest path in Qn. This result, which is best possible, strengthens a theorem of Feder and Subi. It is also related to the ‘antipodal colourings’ conjecture of Norine.

Geodesic trajectories on regular polyhedra

Consider all geodesics between two given points on a polyhedron. On the regular tetrahedron, we describe all the geodesics from a vertex to a point, which could be another vertex. Using the Stern– Brocot tree to explore the recursive structure of geodesics between vertices on a cube, we prove, in some precise sense, that there are twice as many geodesics between certain pairs of vertices than o...

Reconstruction Conjecture for Graphs Isomorphic to Cube of a Tree

This paper proves the reconstruction conjecture for graphs which are isomorphic to the cube of a tree. The proof uses the reconstructibility of trees from their peripheral vertex deleted subgraphs. The main result follows from (i) characterization of the cube of a tree (ii) recognizability of the cube of a tree (iii) uniqueness of tree as a cube root of a graph G, except when G is a complete gr...

The Phase Transition for Random Subgraphs of the n-cube

We describe recent results, obtained in collaborations with C. Borgs, J.T. Chayes, R. van der Hofstad and J. Spencer, which provide a detailed description of the phase transition for random subgraphs of the n-cube. Résumé. Nous présentons des résultats récents qui donnent une description détaillée de la transition de phase des sous-graphes aléatoires du n-cube. Ces résultats sont obtenus en col...

Highly Symmetric Subgraphs of Hypercubes

Two questions are considered, namely (i) How many colors are needed for a coloring of the n-cube without monochromatic quadrangles or hexagons? We show that four colors suffice and thereby settle a problem of Erdos. (ii) Which vertex-transitive induced subgraphs does a hypercube have? An interesting graph has come up in this context: If we delete a Hamming code from the 7-cube, the resulting gr...
