Abstract

We consider k-dimensional random simplicial complexes that are generated from the binomial random (k+1)-uniform hypergraph by taking the downward-closure, where k >= 2. For each 1 <= j <= k-1, we determine when all cohomology groups with coefficients in F_2 from dimension one up to j vanish and the zero-th cohomology group is isomorphic to F_2. This property is not monotone, but nevertheless we show that it has a single sharp threshold. Moreover, we prove a hitting time result, relating the vanishing of these cohomology groups to the disappearance of the last minimal obstruction. Furthermore, we study the asymptotic distribution of the dimension of the j-th cohomology group inside the critical window. As a corollary, we deduce a hitting time result for a different model of random simplicial complexes introduced in [Linial and Meshulam, Combinatorica, 2006], a result which has only been known for dimension two [Kahle and Pittel, Random Structures Algorithms, 2016].

The Minimum Bisection in the Planted Bisection Model

Authors: Amin Coja-Oghlan, Oliver Cooley, Mihyun Kang, and Kathrin Skubch

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 40, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2015)

Abstract

In the planted bisection model a random graph G(n,p_+,p_-) with n vertices is created by partitioning the vertices randomly into two classes of equal size (up to plus or minus 1). Any two vertices that belong to the same class are linked by an edge with probability p_+ and any two that belong to different classes with probability (p_-) <(p_+) independently. The planted bisection model has been used extensively to benchmark graph partitioning algorithms. If (p_+)=2(d_+)/n and (p_-)=2(d_-)/n for numbers 0 <= (d_-) <(d_+) that remain fixed as n tends to infinity, then with high probability the "planted" bisection (the one used to construct the graph) will not be a minimum bisection. In this paper we derive an asymptotic formula for the minimum bisection width under the assumption that (d_+)-(d_-) > c * sqrt((d_+)ln(d_+)) for a certain constant c>0.
