A new family of locally 5-arc transitive graphs
We present a new family of locally 5–arc transitive graphs. The graphs constructed are bipartite with valency {2m + 1, 2m}. The actions of the automorphism group on the two bipa...

On some enumerative aspects of generalized associahedra
We prove a conjecture of F. Chapoton relating certain enumerative invariants of (a) the cluster complex associated by S. Fomin and A. Zelevinsky with a finite root system and (b)...

The homology of the cycle matroid of a coned graph
The cone ˆG of a finite graph G is obtained by adding a new vertex p, called the cone point, and joining each vertex of G to p by a simple edge. We show that the rank of the red...

The geometry of secants in embedded polar spaces
Consider a polar space S weakly embedded in a projective space P. A secant of S is the intersection of the point set of S with a line of P spanned by two non-collinear points of S...

The exceptional hyperplanes of DH(5, 4)
In [2], we showed the existence of five isomorphism classes of hyperplanes in each dual polar space of type DH(5, q2). We also proved there that every hyperplane of DH(5, q2) bel...

Quickly deciding minor-closed parameters in general graphs
We construct algorithms for deciding essentially any minor-closed parameter, with explicit time bounds. This result strengthens previous results by Robertson and Seymour [1,2], Fr...

Proof of the oval conjecture for planar partition functions
We prove that the translation plane and the shift plane defined by a planar partition function form an oval pair of projective planes in the sense that the planes share a line pe...

Representations of directed strongly regular graphs
We develop a theory of representations in Rm for directed strongly regular graphs, which gives a new proof of a nonexistence condition of Jørgensen [8]. We also describe some new...

Chords of longest circuits in locally planar graphs
It was conjectured by Thomassen ([B. Alspach, C. Godsil, Cycle in graphs, Ann. Discrete Math. 27 (1985)], p. 466) that every longest circuit of a 3-connected graph must have a cho...
