Random spanning trees of a graph $G$ are governed by a corresponding probability mass distribution (or law), $mu$, defined on the set of all spanning trees of $G$. This paper addresses the problem of choosing $mu$ in order to utilize the edges as fairly as possible. This turns out to be equivalent to minimizing, with respect to $mu$, the expected overlap of two independent random spanning trees sampled with law $mu$. In the process, we introduce the notion of homogeneous graphs. These are graphs for which it is possible to choose a random spanning tree so that all edges have equal usage probability. The main result is a deflation process that identifies a hierarchical structure of arbitrary graphs in terms of homogeneous subgraphs, which we call homogeneous cores. A key tool in the analysis is the spanning tree modulus, for which there exists an algorithm based on minimum spanning tree algorithms, such as Kruskals or Prims.
Chemical tagging of stellar debris from disrupted open clusters and associations underpins the science cases for next-generation multi-object spectroscopic surveys. As part of the Galactic Archaeology project TraCD (Tracking Cluster Debris), a prelim
A rainbow spanning tree in an edge-colored graph is a spanning tree in which each edge is a different color. Carraher, Hartke, and Horn showed that for $n$ and $C$ large enough, if $G$ is an edge-colored copy of $K_n$ in which each color class has si
The minimum degree spanning tree (MDST) problem requires the construction of a spanning tree $T$ for graph $G=(V,E)$ with $n$ vertices, such that the maximum degree $d$ of $T$ is the smallest among all spanning trees of $G$. In this paper, we present
Given a collection of graphs $mathbf{G}=(G_1, ldots, G_m)$ with the same vertex set, an $m$-edge graph $Hsubset cup_{iin [m]}G_i$ is a transversal if there is a bijection $phi:E(H)to [m]$ such that $ein E(G_{phi(e)})$ for each $ein E(H)$. We give asy
Let G be a connected, loopless multigraph. The sandpile group of G is a finite abelian group associated to G whose order is equal to the number of spanning trees in G. Holroyd et al. used a dynamical process on graphs called rotor-routing to define a
