Gallai's problem on Dirac's construction

چکیده
Youngs, D.A., Gallai’s problem on Dirac’s construction, Discrete Mathematics 101 (1992) 343-350. It is thought that T. Gallai posed the following problem concerning a construction due to G.A. Dirac: suppose that a graph K consists of disjoint subgraphs G and Hand a set of edges joining them. If each of G, H, and K are colour critical graphs, under what circumstances is it then true that the join of G and His complete? (That is to say, when is every vertex of G joined to every vertex of H?). In many cases the answer is affirmative, e.g. when G and H are both complete, as noted by Gallai. We present a small selection of graphs where the join is not complete.

Gauge–invariant Charged, Monopole and Dyon Fields in Gauge Theories
We propose explicit recipes to construct the euclidean Green functions of gauge– invariant charged, monopole and dyon fields in four–dimensional gauge theories whose phase diagram contains phases with deconfined electric and/or magnetic charges. In theories with only either abelian electric or magnetic charges, our construction is an euclidean version of Dirac's original proposal, the magnetic ...

We give the construction modulo normalization of a new state sum model for lorentzian quantum general relativity, using the construction of Dirac's expansors to include quantum operators corresponding to edge lengths as well as the quantum bivectors of the Barrett Crane model, and discuss the problem of its normalization. The new model gives rise to a new picture of quantum geometry in which le...
متن کاملA beautiful sea: P. A. M. Dirac's epistemology and ontology of the vacuum.
This paper charts P.A.M. Dirac's development of his theory of the electron, and its radical picture of empty space as an almost-full plenum. Dirac's Quantum Electrodynamics famously accomplished more than the unification of special relativity and quantum mechanics. It also accounted for the 'duplexity phenomena' of spectral line splitting that we now attribute to electron spin. But the extra ma...
متن کاملAN EXACT PERFORMANCE BOUND FOR AN O ( m + n ) TIMEGREEDY MATCHING
We prove an exact lower bound on (G), the size of the smallest matching that a certain O(m + n) time greedy matching procedure may nd for a given graph G with n vertices and m edges. The bound is precisely Erdd os and Gallai's extremal function that gives the size of the smallest maximum matching, over all graphs with n vertices and m edges. Thus the greedy procedure is optimal in the sense tha...
