We prove Tur\'an-type theorems for two related Ramsey problems raised by Bollob\'as and by Fox and Sudakov. First, for $t \ge 3$, we show that any two-colouring of the complete graph on $n$ vertices that is $\delta$-far from being…

We establish a "neighborhood" variant of the cubical KKM lemma and the Lebesgue covering theorem and deduce a discretized version which is a "neighborhood" variant of Sperner's lemma on the cube. The main result is the following: for any…

More than forty years ago, Erd\H{o}s conjectured that for any T <= N/K, every K-uniform hypergraph on N vertices without T disjoint edges has at most max{\binom{KT-1}{K}, \binom{N}{K} - \binom{N-T+1}{K}} edges. Although this appears to be a…

The thin set theorem $\mathsf{RT}^n_{<\infty,\ell}$ asserts the existence, for every $k$-coloring of the subsets of natural numbers of size $n$, of an infinite set of natural numbers, all of whose subsets of size $n$ use at most $\ell$…

We introduce and study a new type of Ramsey-Turan problems, a typical example of which is the following one: let c>0 and G be a graph of sufficiently large order n with minimum degree >3n/4. If the edges of G are colored in blue or red,…

A family $\mathcal{G}$ of sets is a copy of a poset $(P,\leqslant)$ if $(\mathcal{G},\subseteq)$ is isomorphic to $(P,\leqslant)$. The forbidden subposet problem asks for determining $La^*(n,P)$, the maximum size of a family…

The $n$-dimensional hypercube $Q_n$ is a graph with vertex set $\{0,1\}^n$ such that there is an edge between two vertices if and only if they differ in exactly one coordinate. For any graph $H$, define $\text{ex}(Q_n,H)$ to be the maximum…

We address the following rainbow Ramsey problem: For posets $P,Q$ what is the smallest number $n$ such that any coloring of the elements of the Boolean lattice $B_n$ either admits a monochromatic copy of $P$ or a rainbow copy of $Q$. We…

We observe that several vertex Tur\'an type problems for the hypercube that received a considerable amount of attention in the combinatorial community are equivalent to questions about erasure list-decodable codes. Analyzing a recent…

The n-dimensional hypercube Q_n is a graph with vertex set {0,1}^n such that there is an edge between two vertices if and only if they differ in exactly one coordinate. Let H be a graph, and a graph is called H-free if it does not contain H…

After having investigated the densest packings by congruent hyperballs to the regular prism tilings in the $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^n$ ($n \in \mathbb{N}, n \ge 3)$ we consider the dual covering problems and determine…

Motivated by classical work of Alon and F\"uredi, we introduce and address the following problem: determine the minimum number of affine hyperplanes in $\mathbb{R}^d$ needed to cover every point of the triangular grid $T_d(n) :=…

We consider the faces in pseudoline arrangements in which the pseudolines are colored with two colors. Bj\"orner, Las Vergnas, Sturmfels, White, and Ziegler conjecture the existence of a two-colored triangle in such arrangements. We…

We consider supercritical site percolation on the $d$-dimensional hypercube $Q^d$. We show that typically all components in the percolated hypercube, besides the giant, are of size $O(d)$. This resolves a conjecture of Bollob\'as,…

For a non-decreasing sequence $S = (s_1, s_2, \ldots, s_k)$ of positive integers, a packing $S$-coloring of a graph $G$ is a partition of $V(G)$ into $V_1, V_2, \ldots, V_k$ such that each $V_i$ has pairwise distance at least $s_i+1$. The…

For positive integers $n,r,s$ with $r > s$, the set-coloring Ramsey number $R(n;r,s)$ is the minimum $N$ such that if every edge of the complete graph $K_N$ receives a set of $s$ colors from a palette of $r$ colors, then there is guaranteed…

Let $Q_d$ be the $d$-dimensional hypercube and $N=2^d$. We prove that the number of (proper) 4-colorings of $Q_d$ is asymptotically \[6e2^N,\] as was conjectured by Engbers and Galvin in 2012. The proof uses a combination of information…

For n >= 2 a construction is given for a large family of compact convex sets K and L in n-dimensional Euclidean space such that the orthogonal projection L_u onto the subspace u^\perp contains a translate of the corresponding projection K_u…

Let $H_n$ be the minimal number such that any $n$-dimensional convex body can be covered by $H_n$ translates of interior of that body. Similarly $H_n^s$ is the corresponding quantity for symmetric bodies. It is possible to define $H_n$ and…

Denote by Q_d the d-dimensional hypercube. Addressing a recent question we estimate the number of ways the vertex set of Q_d can be partitioned into vertex disjoint smaller cubes. Among other results, we prove that the asymptotic order of…
