Fractal Hyper-Trees: Combinatorial Enumeration, Symmetry Properties, and Ultrametric Structures

Abstract

This paper introduces and formalizes Fractal Hyper-Trees (FHT), a novel class of hypergraphs characterized by deep recursive inclusion hierarchies and controlled relational textures. Moving beyond classical graph-theoretic frameworks, we establish an axiomatic foundation for FHTs and investigate their combinatorial enumeration, revealing explicit connections to OEIS sequence A398931. Furthermore, we analyze the structural symmetry properties via automorphism groups, examine the resulting global hierarchical ultrametric topologies, and discuss asymptotic perspectives, including vertex substitution operators and heuristic parallels with $p$-adic integer rings.

Sidorenko's conjecture states that the number of copies of any given bipartite graph in another graph of given density is asymptotically minimized by a random graph. For bipartite graphs containing a cycle, the forcing conjecture further asserts that asymptotic equality characterizes quasi-random graphs. We establish an adjoint identity for a general class of graph-substitution operators and use it to obtain Sidorenko and forcing results for balanced blow-ups, subdivisions, Cartesian products, and strong products.

On the Cost Number of Graphs with Determining Number Two

A distinguishing vertex coloring of a graph $G$ is a vertex coloring such that only the identity automorphism of $G$ preserves the coloring. A graph is $2$-distinguishable if it admits a distinguishing vertex coloring with two colors, and its cost $ρ(G)$ is the minimum size of a color class in such a coloring. The determining number of a graph $G$, denoted by $Det(G)$, is the minimum size of a subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ such that only the trivial automorphism fixes every element of $S$ pointwise. Boutin (J. Combin. Math. Combin. Comput. 85: 161-171, 2013) asked if $ρ(G)$ and $Det(G)$ can be arbitrarily far apart. While the case for $Det(G) = 1$ is trivial, the answer remained unknown for $Det(G) \ge 2$. In this manuscript, we show that if $Det(G)=2$ then not only is $ρ(G)$ bounded, but in fact $ρ(G) \leq 4$. This is the first resolution of Boutin's question for any nontrivial fixed determining number. Moreover, for every fixed $Det(G)= n$, we construct examples giving a lower bound on any possible upper bound for $ρ(G)$ in terms of $n$.
