The partial coloring method is one of the most powerful and widely used method in combinatorial discrepancy problems. However, in many cases it leads to sub-optimal bounds as the partial coloring step must be iterated a logarithmic number…

In arXiv:2209.04859 Andy Zucker and Chris Lambie-Hanson proved the consistency result for some coloring principle for the products of polish spaces by at most countable many colors. This principle easy implies Halpern and L\"auchli's…

We prove a quantitative version of the multi-colored Motzkin-Rabin theorem in the spirit of [BDWY12]: Let $V_1,\ldots,V_n \subset R^d$ be $n$ disjoint sets of points (of $n$ `colors'). Suppose that for every $V_i$ and every point $v \in…

We present short proofs of Toru\'nczyk's well-known characterization theorems of the Hilbert cube and Hilbert space, respectively.

In the first part, we introduce a notion a degree of edge-colorings of bicubic plane graphs and proves some local formula of the graded number of colorings. In the second part, we give a new proof of a result of Fisk saying that any two…

Baker's method, relying on estimates on linear forms in logarithms of algebraic numbers, allows one to prove in several situations the effective finiteness of integral points on varieties. In this article, we give a generalisation of…

We show that Thompson's $A\times B$-Lemma can be obtained as a consequence of the Brauer pair version of Brauer's Third Main Theorem.

Following recent result of L. M. T\' oth [arXiv:1906.03137] we show that every $2\Delta$-regular Borel graph $\mathcal{G}$ with a (not necessarily invariant) Borel probability measure admits approximate Schreier decoration. In fact, we show…

A subgraph of an edge-coloured graph is called rainbow if all its edges have distinct colours. The study of rainbow subgraphs goes back to the work of Euler on Latin squares and has been the focus of extensive research ever since. Many…

We prove the following version of the Loebl-Komlos-Sos Conjecture: For every alpha>0 there exists a number M such that for every k>M every n-vertex graph G with at least (0.5+alpha)n vertices of degree at least (1+alpha)k contains each tree…

We present a simpler way than usual to deduce the completeness theorem for the second-oder classical logic from the first-order one. We also extend our method to the case of second-order intuitionistic logic.

A celebrated result of Thomassen states that not only can every planar graph be colored properly with five colors, but no matter how arbitrary palettes of five colors are assigned to vertices, one can choose a color from the corresponding…

We characterize the computational content and the proof-theoretic strength of a Ramsey-type theorem for bi-colorings of so-called {\em exactly large} sets. An {\it exactly large} set is a set $X\subset\Nat$ such that $\card(X)=\min(X)+1$.…

In the way of proving Kneser's conjecture, L\'{a}szl\'{o} Lov\'{a}sz settled out a new lower bound for the chromatic number of graphs. He showed that if the hom complex $||Hom(\mathcal{K}_2, H)||$ of a graph $H$ is topologically…

We give a short new proof of a version of the Kruskal-Katona theorem due to Lov\'asz. Our method can be extended to a stability result, describing the approximate structure of configurations that are close to being extremal, which answers a…

We give a near-linear time 4-coloring algorithm for planar graphs, improving on the previous quadratic time algorithm by Robertson et al. from 1996. Such an algorithm cannot be achieved by the known proofs of the Four Color Theorem (4CT).…

We reveal a connection between the incompressibility method and the Lovasz local lemma in the context of Ramsey theory. We obtain bounds by repeatedly encoding objects of interest and thereby compressing strings. The method is demonstrated…

To any two graphs G and H one can associate a cell complex Hom(G,H) by taking all graph multihomorphisms from G to H as cells. In this paper we prove the Lovasz Conjecture which states that if Hom(C_{2r+1},G) is k-connected, then…
