Abstract

We establish for which weighted graphs H homomorphism functions from multigraphs G to H are specializations of the Tutte polynomial of G, answering a question of Freedman, Lov´asz and Schrijver. We introduce a new property of graphs called “q-state Potts uniqueness” and relate it to chromatic and Tutte uniqueness, and also to “chromatic–flow uniqueness”, recently studied by Duan, Wu and Yu.
