A biased graph consists of a graph $G$ together with a collection of distinguished cycles of $G$, called balanced cycles, with the property that no theta subgraph contains exactly two balanced cycles. Perhaps the most natural biased graphs on $G$ arise from orienting $G$ and then labelling the edges of $G$ with elements of a group $Gamma$. In this case, we may define a biased graph by declaring a cycle to be balanced if the product of the labels on its edges is the identity, with the convention that we take the inverse value for an edge traversed backwards. Our first result gives a natural topological characterisation of biased graphs arising from group-labellings. In the second part of this article, we use this theorem to construct some exceptional biased graphs. Notably, we prove that for every $m ge 3$ and $ell$ there exists a minor minimal not group labellable biased graph on $m$ vertices where every pair of vertices is joined by at least $ell$ edges. Finally, we show that these results extend to give infinite families of excluded minors for certain families of frame and lift matroids.
The problem of finding completely positive matrices with equal cp-rank and rank is considered. We give some easy-to-check sufficient conditions on the entries of a doubly nonnegative matrix for it to be completely positive with equal cp-rank and rank
Let $X=(V,E)$ be a finite simple connected graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. A configuration is an assignment of one of two colors, black or white, to each edge of $X.$ A move applied to a configuration is to select a black edge $epsilonin E$ an
The [CII] 158$mu$m emission line can arise in all phases of the ISM, therefore being able to disentangle the different contributions is an important yet unresolved problem when undertaking galaxy-wide, integrated [CII] observations. We present a new
In this paper we show that there does not exist a strongly regular graph with parameters $(1911,270,105,27)$.
A graph is said to be a cover graph if it is the underlying graph of the Hasse diagram of a finite partially ordered set. The direct product G X H of graphs G and H is the graph having vertex set V(G) X V(H) and edge set E(G X H) = {(g_i,h_s)(g_j,h_t
