AI总结:

该研究证明了平面图色多项式在不同图结构下呈现指数级增长,验证了Agol关于q=3时的猜想。

摘要:

大约10年前,Agol和Krushkal证明了从n个顶点的图G中产生的色多项式P_G的数量随着n指数增长,通过建立当G遍历所有n个顶点的平面立方图时,(对偶)流多项式F_G((3+√5)/2)已经取上指数多值。我们更一般地证明,对于每一个固定的实数q≠0,1,2,集合{P_G(q): |V(G)|=n}的大小是n的指数函数。事实上,我们的方法还可以进一步证明,当G仅遍历所有n个顶点的平面图时,P_G(q)已经取上指数多值。q=3的情况证实了Agol的一个猜想,该猜想最初由平面3染色性问题的NP完全性所启发。

英文摘要:

Around 10 years ago, Agol and Krushkal showed that the number of chromatic polynomials $P_{G}$ arising from graphs $G$ on $n$ vertices grows exponentially with $n$, by establishing that the (dual) flow polynomial $F_{G}\left(\frac{3+\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)$ already takes on exponentially many values, if one varies $G$ over all planar cubic graphs $G$ on $n$ vertices. We show, more generally, that the size of the set $\{P_G(q): |V(G)|=n\}$ is exponential in $n$, for every fixed real number $q \neq 0,1,2$. In fact, our approach can also be pushed to show that $P_{G}(q)$ already takes on exponentially many values, if we only vary $G$ over all planar graphs on $n$ vertices. The case $q=3$ confirms a conjecture of Agol, which was initially motivated by the $\mathsf{NP}$-completeness of planar $3$-colorability.
