The notions of graph divisor theory are in duality with the notions of the chip-firing game. Based on this connection, we give a new proof for the Riemann--Roch theorem on graphs which can be generalized to Eulerian directed graphs, improving a result of Amini and Manjunath. We also give a graph-theoretic version of the abstract Riemann--Roch criterion of Baker and Norine, and explore the natural Riemann--Roch property introduced by Asadi and Backman.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-11-11T16:48:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "riemann-roch theorem", "graph divisor theory", "abstract riemann-roch criterion", "natural riemann-roch property", "eulerian directed graphs" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
