Covering Families for DP-Coloring of Cartesian Products with Complete Bipartite Graphs

Hemanshu Kaul, Jeffrey A. Mudrock, Emily A. Psyhogios +3

A famous folklore result in list coloring demonstrating that the gap between the list chromatic number and chromatic number of a graph can be arbitrarily large is: $χ_{\ell}(K_{l,t…

The DP Color Function of Bipartite Graphs

Hemanshu Kaul, Jeffrey A. Mudrock, Gunjan Sharma +1

DP-coloring (or correspondence coloring) is a generalization of list coloring that has been widely studied since its introduction by Dvořák and Postle in 2015. As the analogue of $…

On the DP-chromatic Number of Cartesian Products of Critical Graphs

Hemanshu Kaul, Jeffrey A. Mudrock, Gunjan Sharma

DP-coloring (also called correspondence coloring) is a well-studied generalization of list coloring introduced by Dvořák and Postle in 2015. The following sharp bound on the DP-chr…

A Spectral Turán Problem for a Fixed Tree

Dheer Noal Desai, Hemanshu Kaul, Bahareh Kudarzi

We study the spectral Turán problem for trees. To avoid limiting our perspective to specific families of trees, we parametrize trees in terms of their unique bipartition. We say $T…

Shameful Inequalities for List and DP Coloring of Graphs

Hemanshu Kaul, Jeffrey A. Mudrock, Gunjan Sharma

The chromatic polynomial of a graph is an important notion in algebraic combinatorics that was introduced by Birkhoff in 1912; denoted , it equals the number of proper -…

Counting List Colorings of Unlabeled Graphs

Hemanshu Kaul, Jeffrey A. Mudrock

The classic enumerative functions for counting colorings of a graph , such as the chromatic polynomial , do so under the assumption that the given graph is labeled. In 1…

On strongly and robustly critical graphs

Anton Bernshteyn, Hemanshu Kaul, Jeffrey A. Mudrock +1

In extremal combinatorics, it is common to focus on structures that are minimal with respect to a certain property. In particular, critical and list-critical graphs occupy a promin…

Counting Packings of List-colorings of Graphs

Hemanshu Kaul, Jeffrey A. Mudrock

Given a list assignment for a graph, list packing asks for the existence of multiple pairwise disjoint list colorings of the graph. Several papers have recently appeared that study…

A Polynomial Method for Counting Colorings of Sparse Graphs

Samantha L. Dahlberg, Hemanshu Kaul, Jeffrey A. Mudrock

The notion of -labeling of graphs, where is a subset of a symmetric group, was introduced in 2019 by Jin, Wong, and Zhu. This notion provides the framework for a common gene…
