Homotopy groups of Hom complexes of graphs
The notion of ×-homotopy from [Doca] is investigated in the context of the category of pointed graphs. The main result is a long exact sequence that relates the higher homotopy groups of the space Hom∗(G,H) with the homotopy groups of Hom∗(G,H ). Here Hom∗(G,H) is a space which parameterizes pointed graph maps from G to H (a pointed version of the usual Hom complex), and H is the graph of based...
متن کاملComplexity of simplicial homology and independence complexes of chordal graphs
We prove the NP-hardness of computing homology groups of simplicial complexes when the size of the input complex is measured by the number of maximal faces or the number of minimal non-faces. The latter case implies NP-hardness of the homology problem for clique and independence complexes of graphs. Our approach is based on the observation that the homology of an independence complex of a chord...
متن کاملA Note on Independence Complexes of Chordal Graphs and Dismantling
We show that the independence complex of a chordal graph is contractible if and only if this complex is dismantlable (strong collapsible) and it is homotopy equivalent to a sphere if and only if its core is a cross-polytopal sphere. The proof uses the properties of tree models of chordal graphs.
متن کاملComplement of Special Chordal Graphs and Vertex Decomposability
In this paper, we introduce a subclass of chordal graphs which contains $d$-trees and show that their complement are vertex decomposable and so is shellable and sequentially Cohen-Macaulay.
متن کاملSimple Homotopy Types of Hom-complexes, Neighborhood Complexes, Lovász Complexes, and Atom Crosscut Complexes
In this paper we provide concrete combinatorial formal deformation algorithms, namely sequences of elementary collapses and expansions, which relate various previously extensively studied families of combinatorially defined polyhedral complexes. To start with, we give a sequence of elementary collapses leading from the barycentric subdivision of the neighborhood complex to the Lovász complex of...
