The extension complexity $mathsf{xc}(P)$ of a polytope $P$ is the minimum number of facets of a polytope that affinely projects to $P$. Let $G$ be a bipartite graph with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges, and no isolated vertices. Let $mathsf{STAB}(G)$ be the convex hull of the stable sets of $G$. It is easy to see that $n leqslant mathsf{xc} (mathsf{STAB}(G)) leqslant n+m$. We improve both of these bounds. For the upper bound, we show that $mathsf{xc} (mathsf{STAB}(G))$ is $O(frac{n^2}{log n})$, which is an improvement when $G$ has quadratically many edges. For the lower bound, we prove that $mathsf{xc} (mathsf{STAB}(G))$ is $Omega(n log n)$ when $G$ is the incidence graph of a finite projective plane. We also provide examples of $3$-regular bipartite graphs $G$ such that the edge vs stable set matrix of $G$ has a fooling set of size $|E(G)|$.

Let $G$ be an $n$-node graph without two disjoint odd cycles. The algorithm of Artmann, Weismantel and Zenklusen (STOC17) for bimodular integer programs can be used to find a maximum weight stable set in $G$ in strongly polynomial time. Building on structural results characterizing sufficiently connected graphs without two disjoint odd cycles, we construct a size-$O(n^2)$ extended formulation for the stable set polytope of $G$.
We show that a simple Markov chain, the Glauber dynamics, can efficiently sample independent sets almost uniformly at random in polynomial time for graphs in a certain class. The class is determined by boundedness of a new graph parameter called bipartite pathwidth. This result, which we prove for the more general hardcore distribution with fugacity $lambda$, can be viewed as a strong generalisation of Jerrum and Sinclairs work on approximately counting matchings, that is, independent sets in line graphs. The class of graphs with bounded bipartite pathwidth includes claw-free graphs, which generalise line graphs. We consider two further generalisations of claw-free graphs and prove that these classes have bounded bipartite pathwidth. We also show how to extend all our results to polynomially-bounded vertex weights.
We consider acyclic r-colorings in graphs and digraphs: they color the vertices in r colors, each of which induces an acyclic graph or digraph. (This includes the dichromatic number of a digraph, and the arboricity of a graph.) For any girth and sufficiently high degree, we prove the NP-completeness of acyclic r-colorings; our method also implies the known analogue for classical colorings. The proofs use high girth graphs with high arboricity and dichromatic numbers. High girth graphs and digraphs with high chromatic and dichromatic numbers have been well studied; we re-derive the results from a general result about relational systems, which also implies the similar fact about high girth and high arboricity used in the proofs. These facts concern graphs and digraphs of high girth and low degree; we contrast them by considering acyclic colorings of tournaments (which have low girth and high degree). We prove that even though acyclic two-colorability of tournaments is known to be NP-complete, random acyclically r-colorable tournaments allow recovering an acyclic r-coloring in deterministic linear time, with high probablity.
We prove that for every $n$-vertex graph $G$, the extension complexity of the correlation polytope of $G$ is $2^{O(mathrm{tw}(G) + log n)}$, where $mathrm{tw}(G)$ is the treewidth of $G$. Our main result is that this bound is tight for graphs contained in minor-closed classes.
A (proper) colouring is acyclic, star, or injective if any two colour classes induce a forest, star forest or disjoint union of vertices and edges, respectively. Hence, every injective colouring is a star colouring and every star colouring is an acyclic colouring. The corresponding decision problems are Acyclic Colouring, Star Colouring and Injective Colouring (the last problem is also known as $L(1,1)$-Labelling). A classical complexity result on Colouring is a well-known dichotomy for $H$-free graphs (a graph is $H$-free if it does not contain $H$ as an induced subgraph). In contrast, there is no systematic study into the computational complexity of Acyclic Colouring, Star Colouring and Injective Colouring despite numerous algorithmic and structural results that have appeared over the years. We perform such a study and give almost complete complexity classifications for Acyclic Colouring, Star Colouring and Injective Colouring on $H$-free graphs (for each of the problems, we have one open case). Moreover, we give full complexity classifications if the number of colours $k$ is fixed, that is, not part of the input. From our study it follows that for fixed $k$ the three problems behave in the same way, but this is no longer true if $k$ is part of the input. To obtain several of our results we prove stronger complexity results that in particular involve the girth of a graph and the class of line graphs of multigraphs.
