摘要 | In the 1970s, Lovasz built a bridge between graphs and alternating matrix spaces, in the context of perfect matchings [Proceedings of FCT, 1979, pp. 565-574]. A similar connection between bipartite graphs and matrix spaces plays a key role in the recent resolutions of the noncommutative rank problem [A. Garg et al., Proceedings of FOCS, 2016, pp. 109-117; G. Ivanyos, Y. Qiao, and K. V. Subrahmanyam, Comput. Complexity, 26 (2017), pp. 717-763]. In this paper, we lay the foundation for another bridge between graphs and alternating matrix spaces, in the context of independent sets and vertex colorings. The corresponding structures in alternating matrix spaces are isotropic spaces and isotropic decompositions, both useful structures in group theory and manifold theory. We first show that the maximum independent set problem and the vertex c-coloring problem reduce to the maximum isotropic space problem and the isotropic c-decomposition problem, respectively. Next, we show that several topics and results about independent sets and vertex colorings have natural correspondences for isotropic spaces and decompositions. These include algorithmic problems, such as the maximum independent set problem for bipartite graphs, and exact exponential-time algorithms for the chromatic number, as well as mathematical questions, such as the number of maximal independent sets, and the relation between the maximum degree and the chromatic number. These connections lead to new interactions between graph theory and algebra. Some results have concrete applications to group theory and manifold theory, and we initiate a variant of these structures in the context of quantum information theory. Finally, we propose several open questions for further exploration. |
