While there have been many results on lower bounds for Max Cut in unweighted graphs, the only lower bound for non-integer weights is that by Poljak and Turzik (1986). In this paper, we launch an extensive study of lower bounds for Max Cut in weighted graphs. We introduce a new approach for obtaining lower bounds for Weighted Max Cut. Using it, Probabilistic Method, Vizings chromatic index theorem, and other tools, we obtain several lower bounds for arbitrary weighted graphs, weighted graphs of bounded girth and triangle-free weighted graphs. We pose conjectures and open questions.

Guided by the theory of graph limits, we investigate a variant of the cut metric for limit objects of sequences of discrete probability distributions. Apart from establishing basic results, we introduce a natural operation called {em pinning} on the
space of limit objects and show how this operation yields a canonical cut metric approximation to a given probability distribution akin to the weak regularity lemma for graphons. We also establish the cut metric continuity of basic operations such as taking product measures.
We study the space complexity of sketching cuts and Laplacian quadratic forms of graphs. We show that any data structure which approximately stores the sizes of all cuts in an undirected graph on $n$ vertices up to a $1+epsilon$ error must use $Omega
(nlog n/epsilon^2)$ bits of space in the worst case, improving the $Omega(n/epsilon^2)$ bound of Andoni et al. and matching the best known upper bound achieved by spectral sparsifiers. Our proof is based on a rigidity phenomenon for cut (and spectral) approximation which may be of independent interest: any two $d-$regular graphs which approximate each others cuts significantly better than a random graph approximates the complete graph must overlap in a constant fraction of their edges.
Dawar and Wilsenach (ICALP 2020) introduce the model of symmetric arithmetic circuits and show an exponential separation between the sizes of symmetric circuits for computing the determinant and the permanent. The symmetry restriction is that the cir
cuits which take a matrix input are unchanged by a permutation applied simultaneously to the rows and columns of the matrix. Under such restrictions we have polynomial-size circuits for computing the determinant but no subexponential size circuits for the permanent. Here, we consider a more stringent symmetry requirement, namely that the circuits are unchanged by arbitrary even permutations applied separately to rows and columns, and prove an exponential lower bound even for circuits computing the determinant. The result requires substantial new machinery. We develop a general framework for proving lower bounds for symmetric circuits with restricted symmetries, based on a new support theorem and new two-player restricted bijection games. These are applied to the determinant problem with a novel construction of matrices that are bi-adjacency matrices of graphs based on the CFI construction. Our general framework opens the way to exploring a variety of symmetry restrictions and studying trade-offs between symmetry and other resources used by arithmetic circuits.
Given a family of graphs $mathcal{F}$, we define the $mathcal{F}$-saturation game as follows. Two players alternate adding edges to an initially empty graph on $n$ vertices, with the only constraint being that neither player can add an edge that crea
tes a subgraph in $mathcal{F}$. The game ends when no more edges can be added to the graph. One of the players wishes to end the game as quickly as possible, while the other wishes to prolong the game. We let $textrm{sat}_g(n,mathcal{F})$ denote the number of edges that are in the final graph when both players play optimally. In general there are very few non-trivial bounds on the order of magnitude of $textrm{sat}_g(n,mathcal{F})$. In this work, we find collections of infinite families of cycles $mathcal{C}$ such that $textrm{sat}_g(n,mathcal{C})$ has linear growth rate.
Suppose that the vertices of a graph $G$ are colored with two colors in an unknown way. The color that occurs on more than half of the vertices is called the majority color (if it exists), and any vertex of this color is called a majority vertex. We
study the problem of finding a majority vertex (or show that none exists) if we can query edges to learn whether their endpoints have the same or different colors. Denote the least number of queries needed in the worst case by $m(G)$. It was shown by Saks and Werman that $m(K_n)=n-b(n)$, where $b(n)$ is the number of 1s in the binary representation of $n$. In this paper, we initiate the study of the problem for general graphs. The obvious bounds for a connected graph $G$ on $n$ vertices are $n-b(n)le m(G)le n-1$. We show that for any tree $T$ on an even number of vertices we have $m(T)=n-1$ and that for any tree $T$ on an odd number of vertices, we have $n-65le m(T)le n-2$. Our proof uses results about the weighted version of the problem for $K_n$, which may be of independent interest. We also exhibit a sequence $G_n$ of graphs with $m(G_n)=n-b(n)$ such that $G_n$ has $O(nb(n))$ edges and $n$ vertices.
