Abstract

We develop algorithmic techniques for the Coxeter spectral analysis of the class UBigrn of connected loop-free positive edge-bipartite graphs Δ with n≥2 vertices (i.e., signed graphs). In particular, we present numerical and graphical algorithms allowing us a computer search in the study of such graphs Δ by means of their Gram matrix ǦΔ, the (complex) spectrum speccΔ⊆C of the Coxeter matrix CoxΔ:=−ǦΔ⋅ǦΔ−tr, and the geometry of Weyl orbits in the set MorDΔ of matrix morsifications A∈Mn(Z) of a simply laced Dynkin diagram DΔ∈{An,Dn,E6,E7,E8} associated with Δ and mesh root systems of type DΔ. Our algorithms construct the Coxeter-Gram polynomials coxΔ(t)∈Z[t] and mesh geometries of root orbits of small connected loop-free positive edge-bipartite graphs Δ. We apply them to the study of the following Coxeter spectral analysis problem: Does the Z-congruence Δ≈ZΔ′hold (i.e., the matrices ǦΔand ǦΔ′are Z-congruent), for any pair of connected positive loop-free edge-bipartite graphs   Δ,Δ′in UBigrnsuch that speccΔ=speccΔ′? The problem if any square integer matrix A∈Mn(Z) is Z-congruent with its transpose Atr is also discussed. We present a solution for graphs in UBigrn, with n≤6.
