Abstract

We introduce $L$-functions associated with characters of the Jacobian of a finite graph, as a graph-theoretic analogue of the $L$-functions arising from unramified coverings of algebraic curves. These $L$-functions are defined using the Riemann--Roch structure on the graph and extend Lorenzini's two-variable zeta function. We show that if two graphs without bridges have isomorphic Jacobians and their $L$-functions agree under the induced correspondence of characters, then their Laplacian lattices coincide. We also show that Lorenzini's zeta function is invariant under contraction of bridges, explaining the necessity of the bridge-free hypothesis in the main theorem. Finally, we give examples showing that neither the Jacobian nor the Lorenzini zeta function alone determine the Laplacian lattice.

Asymptotical results on the automorphism groups of canonical double cover of graphs

The canonical double cover $BX$ of a graph $X$ is the direct product $X\times K_2$. A graph $X$ is stable if every automorphism of $BX$ is induced by automorphisms of $X$ and $K_2$, and unstable otherwise. We prove several asymptotic results on stable and unstable graphs. In particular, we show that the automorphism gr...

The sparse regularity method for graphs with few even-cycle homomorphisms

Let $C_k$ denote a cycle on $k$ vertices. Pascadi (2026) established a removal lemma for $C_{2k+1}$ in graphs with few $C_{2k}$-homomorphisms under a dense-pairs condition, using Schatten--von Neumann norms and entropy methods. We give a short proof of a version with more restrictive partition and diagonal requirements...

Quasimodularity of $q$-series associated to root lattices

Motivated by conjectures arising in part from the study of class-$\mathcal{S}$ vertex algebras associated with four-dimensional supersymmetric field theories, we study multiple $q$-zeta functions attached to finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras. We prove their conjectured quasimodularity for all classical Lie algebra...

Isomorphisms of $\ell^1$-crossed products of topological systems

We give a complete description of the isometric isomorphisms between the $\ell^1$-crossed products of actions of discrete groups on nonempty compact Hausdorff spaces. In particular, two such crossed products are isometrically isomorphic as Banach algebras if and only if the actions are topologically isomorphic. It foll...

Analytic Combinatorics of $d$-Set Mappings and Their Applications

A $d$-set mapping is a function acting on a domain $X$ equipped with a partition into $d$ disjoint subsets. While standard functions represent $1$-set mappings, generalizations to arbitrary $d$-partite structures appear naturally across discrete mathematics. In this paper, we develop an analytic combinatorial framework...

Abelian Cayley High-Dimensional Expanders with Polylogarithmic Degree

We construct an explicit infinite family of simple two-dimensional Cayley complexes over $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ whose degree is polynomial in $n$ and whose nontrivial vertex-link eigenvalues lie in $[-\lambda,\lambda]$ for every fixed $\lambda>0$. For every fixed $d\ge2$, we also obtain an explicit infinite family of weighte...
