Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the integrability of Lotka-Volterra (replicator) systems arising from interaction matrices generated from corresponding graph structures, continuing work started by Visomirski and Griffin [J. Phys. A., 58:015701, 2025] and Evripidou et al. [J. Phys. A., 55:325201, 2022] (among others). In particular, we define a new family of graphs, the spoked graphs, and show that all dynamics generated from this family are integrable. In reference to Evripidou et al. (2022), we define a new anti-cloning operator and show that its action on balanced tournament graphs (with odd vertex count) generates new graphs whose dynamics are integrable. Interestingly, we provide numerical evidence that this anti-cloning operation leads to chaotic behaviour when applied to other graph families (e.g., the directed cycles that generate the classically integrable Volterra lattice). This work completes a taxonomy of all integrable dynamics generated by directed graphs with up to six vertices started by Visomirski and Griffin (2025), and suggests several future directions of study on this topic.

Homomesy of Tropical $T$-systems: Finite Type

In 2007, Fomin and Zelevinsky introduced the bipartite belt, a sequence of bipartite cluster mutations whose exchange relations form a discrete dynamical system. For each Dynkin diagram, this system is periodic, as a special case of Zamolodchikov periodicity. In the associated tropical dynamics, every mutation along th...

Cycle-Structure Generating Functions for Special Breakpoint Graphs

Breakpoint graphs originate in comparative genomics, where their alternating cycles encode relationships between genomes. We study a constrained class of three-colored breakpoint graphs associated with permutations and develop cycle-refined generating functions for two extremal families. These families have a natural t...

Diagrammatic construction of GKZ systems for polygonal functions

We investigate the recently introduced polygonal hypergeometric functions [arXiv:2502.12127, arXiv:2507.01904], which are conjectured to evaluate multipoint parametric one-loop conformal integrals in arbitrary dimensions. These functions can be systematically constructed using a diagrammatic algorithm that operates in...

Discrete Lotka–Volterra Dynamical Systems on the S5 Simplex Associated with Bigraphs

Purpose. This paper investigates discrete Lotka–Volterra dynamical systems on the simplex S5 associated with bigraphs, with emphasis on the degenerate case in which some interaction coefficients vanish, potentially yielding an infinite set of fixed points. Methods. For several classes of such systems, we analyze the a...

From Yang-Baxter to Robinson-Schensted-Knuth

We explain how to derive the Robinson-Schensted-Knuth (RSK) correspondence, a fundamental bijection in algebraic combinatorics, from the Yang-Baxter equation. The Yang-Baxter equation arose in the study of quantum many-body systems and later became a cornerstone of the theory of solvable lattice models, particularly ve...
