Hypergeometric approach to Apéry-like series

By reformulating four hypergeometric series formulae, we derive 36 Apéry-like series expressions for the Riemann zeta function, including a couple of identities conjectured by Sun [New series for some special values of L-functions. Nanjing Univ J Math. 2015;32(2): 189–218].     

Torsions of 3-Dimensional Small Covers

In this paper,it is shown that for a 3-dimensional small cover M over a polytope P,there are only 2-torsions in H1(M;Z).Moreover,the mod 2 Betti number growth of finite covers of M is studied.

On the Pseudolinear Crossing Number

A drawing of a graph is pseudolinear if there is a pseudoline arrangement such that each pseudoline contains exactly one edge of the drawing. The pseudolinear crossing number of a graph G is the minimum number of pairwise crossings of edges in a pseudolinear drawing of G. We establish several facts on the pseudolinear crossing number, including its computational complexity and its relationship to the usual crossing number and to the rectilinear crossing number. This investigation was motivated by open questions and issues raised by Marcus Schaefer in his comprehensive survey of the many variants of the crossing number of a graph.     

Resistance characterizations of equiarboreal graphs

A weighted (unweighted) graph $G$ is called equiarboreal if the sum of weights (the number) of spanning trees containing a given edge in $G$ is independent of the choice of edge. In this paper, we give some resistance characterizations of equiarboreal weighted and unweighted graphs, and obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for $k$-subdivision graphs, iterated double graphs, line graphs of regular graphs and duals of planar graphs to be equiarboreal. Applying these results, we obtain new infinite families of equiarboreal graphs, including iterated double graphs of 1-walk-regular graphs, line graphs of triangle-free 2-walk-regular graphs, and duals of equiarboreal planar graphs.
