Disjoint $n$-amalgamation is a condition on a complete first-order theory specifying that certain locally consistent families of types are also globally consistent. In this paper, we show that if a countably categorical theory $T$ admits an…
Let A_1,...,A_k be a collection of families of subsets of an n-element set. We say that this collection is cross-intersecting if for any i,j in [k] with i not equal to j, A in A_i and B in A_j implies that the intersection of A and B is…
Consider several independent Poisson point processes on R^d, each with a different colour and perhaps a different intensity, and suppose we are given a set of allowed family types, each of which is a multiset of colours such as red-blue or…
We study separating systems of the edges of a graph where each member of the separating system is a path. We conjecture that every $n$-vertex graph admits a separating path system of size $O(n)$ and prove this in certain interesting special…
Given a finite planar graph, a grove is a spanning forest in which every component tree contains one or more of a specified set of vertices (called nodes) on the outer face. For the uniform measure on groves, we compute the probabilities of…
We consider the problem of uniformly generating a spanning tree, of a connected undirected graph. This process is useful to compute statistics, namely for phylogenetic trees. We describe a Markov chain for producing these trees. For cycle…
Given a solution to a recursive distributional equation, a natural (and non-trivial) question is whether the corresponding recursive tree process is endogenous. That is, whether the random environment almost surely defines the tree process.…
Asymptotic expansions of Gaussian integrals may often be interpreted as generating functions for certain combinatorial objects (graphs with additional data). In this article we discuss a general approach to all such cases using colored…
We show that the Schreier sets $\mathcal{S}_{\alpha}\ (\alpha<\omega_1)$ satisfy the following dichotomy property. For every hereditary collection $\cf$ of finite subsets of $\N$, either there exists infinite $M=(m_i)_1^{\infty}\subseteq\N$…
Binary relations derived from labeled rooted trees play an import role in mathematical biology as formal models of evolutionary relationships. The (symmetrized) Fitch relation formalizes xenology as the pairs of genes separated by at least…
Let $\mathfrak{i}$ denote the minimal cardinality of a maximal independent family and let $\mathfrak{a}_T$ denote the minimal cardinality of a maximal family of pairwise almost disjoint subtrees of $2^{<\omega}$. Using a countable support…
Proper conflict-free coloring is an intermediate notion between proper coloring of a graph and proper coloring of its square. It is a proper coloring such that for every non-isolated vertex, there exists a color appearing exactly once in…
Beiglboeck, Bergelson and Fish proved that if subsets A,B of a countable discrete amenable group G have positive Banach densities a and b respectively, then the product set AB is piecewise syndetic, i.e. there exists k such that the union…
This paper proves limit theorems for the number of monochromatic edges in uniform random colorings of general random graphs. These can be seen as generalizations of the birthday problem (what is the chance that there are two friends with…
We classify the trees on $n$ vertices with the maximum and the minimum number of certain generalized colorings, including conflict-free, odd, non-monochromatic, star, and star rainbow vertex colorings. We also extend a result of Cutler and…
Given a point set $S$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, a family of sets is $S$-intersecting if its members have a point in common in $S$. Recently, Edwards and Sober\'{o}n proved a fractional version of Halman's theorem for axis-parallel boxes, showing…
We examine the m-shades of t-intersecting families of k-subsets of [n], and conjecture on the optimal upper bound on their cardinalities. This conjecture extends Frankl's General Conjecture that was proven true by Ahlswede-Khachatrian. From…
Phylogenomics heavily relies on well-curated sequence data sets that consist, for each gene, exclusively of 1:1-orthologous. Paralogs are treated as a dangerous nuisance that has to be detected and removed. We show here that this severe…
A linear order $L$ is strongly surjective if $L$ can be mapped onto any of its suborders in an order preserving way. We prove various results on the existence and non-existence of uncountable strongly surjective linear orders answering…
The theory of complex trees is introduced as a new approach to study a broad class of self-similar sets. Systems of equations encoded by complex trees tip-to-tip equivalence relations are used to obtain one-parameter families of connected…
