The multiplicity of the zero Laplacian eigenvalue of uniform hypertrees

Abstract

In this paper, the Laplacian characteristic polynomial of uniform hypergraphs with cut vertices or pendant edges and the Laplacian matching polynomial of uniform hypergraphs are characterized.The multiplicity of the zero Laplacian eigenvalue of uniform hypertrees is given, which proves the conjecture in \cite{zheng2023zero} (The zero eigenvalue of the Laplacian tensor of a uniform hypergraph, Linear and Multilinear Algebra, (2023) Doi:10.1080/03081087.2023.2172541).
