A Three-Regime Theorem for Flow-Firing

Abstract

Graphical chip-firing is a discrete dynamical system where chips are placed on the vertices of a graph and exchanged via simple firing moves. Recent work has sought to generalize chip-firing on graphs to higher dimensions, wherein graphs are replaced by cellular complexes and chip firing becomes flow-rerouting along the faces of the complex. Given such a system, it is natural to ask (1) whether this firing process terminates and (2) if it terminates uniquely (i.e. is confluent). In the graphical case, these questions were definitively answered by Bjorner-Lovasz-Shor, who developed three regimes which completely determine if a given system will terminate. Building on the work of Duval-Klivans-Martin and Felzenszwalb-Klivans, we answer these questions in a context called flow-firing, where the cellular complexes are 2-dimensional.
