Considering all possible paths that a natural number can take following the rules of the algorithm proposed in the Collatz conjecture we construct a graph that can be interpreted as an infinite network that contemplates all possible paths…

We show that there is an absolute constant $c>0$ such that every large connected $n$-vertex Cayley graph with degree $d\geq n^{1-c}$ has a Hamilton cycle. This makes progress towards the Lov\'asz conjecture and improves upon the previous…

A simple graph more often than not contains adjacent vertices with equal degrees. This in particular holds for all pairs of neighbours in regular graphs, while a lot such pairs can be expected e.g. in many random models. Is there a…

In this paper, we introduce a generalized concept of vertex transitivity in graphs called generalized vertex transitivity. We put forward a new invariant called transitivity number of a graph. The value of this invariant in different…

We develop a clear connection between deFinetti's theorem for exchangeable arrays (work of Aldous--Hoover--Kallenberg) and the emerging area of graph limits (work of Lovasz and many coauthors). Along the way, we translate the graph theory…

The study of minimal subgraphs witnessing a connectivity property is an important field in graph theory. The foundation for large flames has been laid by Lov\'asz: Let $ D=(V,E) $ be a finite digraph and let $ r\in V $. The local…

We present progress on three old conjectures about longest paths and cycles in graphs. The first pair of conjectures, due to Lov\'{a}sz from 1969 and Thomassen from 1978, respectively, states that all connected vertex-transitive graphs…

A graph H is a vertex-minor of a graph G if it can be reached from G by the successive application of local complementations and vertex deletions. Vertex-minors have been the subject of intense study in graph theory over the last decades…

The present paper is an introduction to a combinatorial theory arising as a natural generalisation of classical and virtual knot theory. There is a way to encode links by a class of `realisable' graphs. When passing to generic graphs with…

Seymour's second neighbourhood conjecture asserts that every oriented graph has a vertex whose second out-neighbourhood is at least as large as its out-neighbourhood. In this paper, we prove that the conjecture holds for quasi-transitive…

The groupoid of projectivities, introduced by M. Joswig, serves as a basis for a construction of parallel transport of graph and more general $Hom$-complexes. In this framework we develop a general conceptual approach to the Lovasz…

A vertex ranking of a graph is an assignment of ranks (or colors) to the vertices of the graph, in such a way that any simple path connecting two vertices of equal rank, must contain a vertex of a higher rank. In this paper we study a…

Generalizing the concept of dense hypergraph, we say that a hypergraph is weakly dense, if no k in the half-open interval [2,sqrt(n)) is the degree of more than k^2 vertices. In our main result, we prove the famous Erdos-Faber-Lovasz…

An infinite graph is quasi-transitive if its vertex set has finitely many orbits under the action of its automorphism group. In this paper we obtain a structure theorem for locally finite quasi-transitive graphs avoiding a minor, which is…

The main result of this paper is that, if $\Gamma$ is a connected 4-valent $G$-arc-transitive graph and $v$ is a vertex of $\Gamma$, then either $\Gamma$ is one of a well understood infinite family of graphs, or $|G_v|\leq 2^43^6$ or…
