Abstract

Following Penrose, we introduce a family of graph functions defined in terms of contractions of certain products of symmetric tensors along the edges of a graph. Special cases of these functions enumerate edge colorings and cycles of arbitrary length in graphs (in particular, Hamiltonian cycles).
