Combinatorics with definable sets: Euler characteristics and Grothendieck rings
We recall the notions of weak and strong Euler characteristics on a first order structure and make explicit the notion of a Grothendieck ring of a structure. We define partially or...

Counting Lattice Paths by Narayana Polynomials
Let d(n) count the lattice paths from (0, 0) to (n, n) using the steps (0,1), (1,0), and (1,1). Let e(n) count the lattice paths from (0, 0) to (n, n) with permitted steps from th...

The Characteristic Polynomial of a Graph is Reconstructible from the Characteristic Polynomials of its Vertex-Deleted Subgraphs
The question of whether the characteristic polynomial of a simple graph is uniquely determined by the characteristic polynomials of its vertex-deleted subgraphs is one of the many...

Note on Gy. Elekes's Conjectures Concerning Unavoidable Patterns in Proper Colorings
A counterexample is presented to Gy. Elekes's conjecture concerning the existence of long 2-colored paths in properly colored graphs. A modified version of the conjecture is ...

Where the Typical Set Partitions Meet and Join
The lattice of the set partitions of [n] ordered by refinement is studied. Suppose r partitions p1, . . . , pr are chosen independently and uniformly at random. The probability tha...
