Homomorphism densities satisfy the representability axioms #
The homomorphism density t(·, W) of a graphon W is a graph parameter
(TauCeti.DenseGraphLimits.homDensityParam) that is isomorphism invariant, multiplicative,
normalized and reflection positive. These are the four structural conditions of the
Lovász–Szegedy characterization of homomorphism densities, so this is its easy direction.
The first three conditions are structural laws of homDensity. Reflection positivity follows from
the gluing formula for labeled graphs and positivity of the resulting connection matrices.
Main definitions #
TauCeti.DenseGraphLimits.homDensityParam— the graph parametert(·, W).

Equations
Instances For
The value of homDensityParam W at F is t(F, W), for any decidability instance on the
adjacency of F.
t(·, W) is isomorphism invariant.
t(·, W) is multiplicative over disjoint unions.
t(·, W) is normalized: t(K₁, W) = 1.
Reflection positivity #
Homomorphism densities are reflection positive: every connection matrix of t(·, W) is
positive semidefinite.
