Graphs and Separability Properties of Groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ž . A group G is LERF locally extended residually finite if for any finitely generated subgroup S of G and for any g f S there exists a finite index subgroup S of G which contains S but not g. Using graph-theoretical methods we give 0 algorithms for constructing finite index subgroups in amalgamated free products of groups with good separability properties. We prove that a free product of a free group and a LERF group amalgamated over a cyclic subgroup maximal in the free factor is LERF. The maximality condition cannot be removed, because adjunction of roots does not preserve property LERF. We also give short proofs of some old theorems about separability properties of groups, including a theorem of Brunner, Burns, and Solitar that a free product of free groups amalgamated over a cyclic subgroup is LERF.

متن کاملSeparability of Density Matrices of Graphs for Multipartite Systems
We investigate separability of Laplacian matrices of graphs when seen as density matrices. This is a family of quantum states with many combinatorial properties. We firstly show that the well-known matrix realignment criterion can be used to test separability of this type of quantum states. The criterion can be interpreted as novel graph-theoretic idea. Then, we prove that the density matrix of...

متن کاملPath Separability of Graphs
In this paper we investigate the structural properties of k-path separable graphs, that are the graphs that can be separated by a set of k shortest paths. We identify several graph families having such path separability, and we show that this property is closed under minor taking. In particular we establish a list of forbidden minors for 1-path separable graphs.
متن کاملOn graphs whose Laplacian matrix's multipartite separability is invariant under graph isomorphism
Normalized Laplacian matrices of graphs have recently been studied in the context of quantum mechanics as density matrices of quantum systems. Of particular interest is the relationship between quantum physical properties of the density matrix and the graph theoretical properties of the underlying graph. One important aspect of density matrices is their entanglement properties, which are respon...
