Nordhaus-Gaddum upper bounds for graph connectivity parameters

Mark Kempton, Xavier Zaitzeff, Sibi Muthuprakash

We examine upper bounds on Nordhaus-Gaddum type problems for parameters related to graph connectivity. Our main result is that for a graph on vertices where both and it…

On defining Kemeny's constant for non-backtracking random walks

Jane Breen, Mark Kempton, Adam Knudson +1

We propose two possible definitions for a version of Kemeny's constant of a graph based on non-backtracking random walks (in place of the usual simple random walk). We show that th…

Two Distinct Eigenvalues from a New Graph Product

Eric Culver, Mark Kempton

The parameter of a graph is the minimum number of distinct eigenvalues of a symmetric matrix whose pattern is given by . We introduce a novel graph product by which w…

A Ricci flow on graphs from effective resistance

Aleyah Dawkins, Vishal Gupta, Mark Kempton +4

In this paper, we introduce a new notion of curvature on the edges of a graph that is defined in terms of effective resistances. We call this the Ricci--Foster curvature. We study…

Node resistance curvature in Cartesian graph products

Aleyah Dawkins, Vishal Gupta, Mark Kempton +4

Devriendt and Lambiotte recently introduced the \emph{node resistance curvature}, a notion of graph curvature based on the effective resistance matrix. In this paper, we begin the…

Pretty good fractional revival via magnetic fields: theory and examples

Whitney Drazen, Mark Kempton, Gabor Lippner

We develop the theory of pretty good quantum fractional revival in arbitrary sized subsets of a graph, including the theory for fractional cospectrality of subsets of arbitrary siz…
