Ankan Ganguly, Alex McDonough

AI总结:

本文证明 Klivans 猜想,严格定义并证明了平面图上由 rotor-routing 诱导的唯一一致的沙堆挠子结构,并将其扩展至正则拟阵,提出 Backman-Baker-Yuen 算法的一致性猜想。

摘要:

我们明确表述并证明了 Klivans 关于沙堆群在生成树上作用的一个猜想。更具体地,该猜想指出在平面图上存在唯一的“足够好”的沙堆挠子结构,该结构由 rotor-routing 诱导。首先,我们严格定义了平面图上的沙堆挠子算法,即将每个平面图(即具有适当带状结构的平面图)与其沙堆群在其生成树上的自由传递作用相关联的映射。然后,我们定义了一致性的概念,要求挠子算法在某一类收缩和删除操作下保持不变。利用这些定义,我们证明了 rotor-routing 沙堆挠子算法是一致的。此外,我们证明了在平面图上仅存在另外三种一致的算法,它们与 rotor-routing 具有相同的结构。我们还定义了正则拟阵上的沙堆挠子算法,并在此背景下提出了一致性的概念。我们猜想 Backman-Baker-Yuen 算法是一致的,且在正则拟阵上仅存在另外三种一致的沙堆挠子算法,它们均具有相同的结构。

英文摘要:

We make precise and prove a conjecture of Klivans about actions of the sandpile group on spanning trees. More specifically, the conjecture states that there exists a unique ``suitably nice'' sandpile torsor structure on plane graphs which is induced by rotor-routing. First, we rigorously define a sandpile torsor algorithm (on plane graphs) to be a map which associates each plane graph (i.e., planar graph with an appropriate ribbon structure) with a free transitive action of its sandpile group on its spanning trees. Then, we define a notion of consistency, which requires a torsor algorithm to be preserved with respect to a certain class of contractions and deletions. Using these definitions, we show that the rotor-routing sandpile torsor algorithm is consistent. Furthermore, we demonstrate that there are only three other consistent algorithms on plane graphs, which all have the same structure as rotor-routing. We also define sandpile torsor algorithms on regular matroids and suggest a notion of consistency in this context. We conjecture that the Backman-Baker-Yuen algorithm is consistent, and that there are only three other consistent sandpile torsor algorithms on regular matroids, all with the same structure.
