‟Independence Complexes of Kneser Graphs” by Ziqin Feng <zzf0006@auburn.edu>, Auburn University

Abstract:

We will discuss the topological properties of the independence complex of Kneser graphs, Ind(KG$(n, k))$, with $n\geq 3$ and $k\geq 1$. By identifying one kind of maximal simplices through projective planes, we obtain homology generators for the $6$-dimensional homology of the complex Ind(KG$(3, k))$. Using cross-polytopal generators, we provide lower bounds for the rank of $p$-dimensional homology of the complex Ind(KG$(n, k))$ where $p=1/2\cdot {2n+k\choose 2n}$.
