Abstract We investigate the location of zeros for the partition function of the anti-ferromagnetic Ising model, focusing on the zeros lying on the unit circle. We give a precise characterization for the class of rooted Cayley trees, showing that the zeros are nowhere dense on the most interesting circular arcs. In contrast, we prove that when considering all graphs with a given degree bound, the zeros are dense in a circular sub-arc, implying that Cayley trees are in this sense not extremal. The proofs rely on describing the rational dynamical systems arising when considering ratios of partition functions on recursively defined trees.

AbstractWe consider the location of zeros of four related classes of polynomials, one of which is the class of chromatic polynomials of graphs. All of these polynomials are generating functions of combinatorial interest. Extensive calculations indicate that these polynomials often have only real zeros, and we give a variety of theoretical results which begin to explain this phenomenon. In the course of the investigation we prove a number of interesting combinatorial identities and also give some new sufficient conditions for a polynomial to have only real zeros.

Polynomial invariants corresponding to the fundamental representation of the gauge group SU(N) are computed for arbitrary torus knots and links in the framework of Chern–Simons gauge theory making use of knot operators. As a result, a formula for the HOMFLY polynomial for arbitrary torus links is presented.
