Determining the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex $C_4$-free graph is a well-studied problem that dates back to a paper of Erd\H{o}s from 1938. One of the most important families of $C_4$-free graphs are the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi…

Using computer algorithms we establish that the Ramsey number $R(3,K_{10}-e)$ is equal to 37, which solves the smallest open case for Ramsey numbers of this type. We also obtain new upper bounds for the cases of $R(3,K_k-e)$ for $11 \le k…

The Tur\'an number $\text{ex}(n,H)$ of a graph $H$ is the maximal number of edges in an $H$-free graph on $n$ vertices. In $1983$ Chung and Erd\H{o}s asked which graphs $H$ with $e$ edges minimize $\text{ex}(n,H)$. They resolved this…

Consider a uniform expanders family G_n with a uniform bound on the degrees. It is shown that for any p and c>0, a random subgraph of G_n obtained by retaining each edge, randomly and independently, with probability p, will have at most one…

Recently, variants of many classical extremal theorems have been proved in the random environment. We, complementing existing results, extend the Erd\H{o}s-Gallai Theorem in random graphs. In particular, we determine, up to a constant…

Let $K_m^{(3)}$ denote the complete $3$-uniform hypergraph on $m$ vertices and $S_n^{(3)}$ the $3$-uniform hypergraph on $n+1$ vertices consisting of all $\binom{n}{2}$ edges incident to a given vertex. Whereas many hypergraph Ramsey…

We construct a new family of $K_s$-free graphs that leads to improved lower bounds for Ramsey numbers across a wide range of parameters. For any fixed $s \ge 4$, we show that the off-diagonal Ramsey numbers satisfy $r(s, k) \ge k^{s-2 +…

A graph $G$ is $k$-critical if it has chromatic number $k$, but every proper subgraph of $G$ is $(k-1)$--colorable. Let $f_k(n)$ denote the minimum number of edges in an $n$-vertex $k$-critical graph. We give a lower bound, $f_k(n) \geq…

Solving a long standing conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and Simonovits, Brandt and Thomass\'e proved that the chromatic number of each triangle-free graph $G$ such that $\delta(G)>|V(G)|/3$ is at most four. In fact, they showed the much stronger…

The problem of Zarankiewicz asks for the maximum number of edges in a bipartite graph on $n$ vertices which does not contain the complete bipartite graph $K_{k,k}$ as a subgraph. A classical theorem due to K\H{o}v\'ari, S\'os, and Tur\'an…

An $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$ is semi-algebraic of complexity $\mathbf{t}=(d,D,m)$ if the vertices of $H$ correspond to points in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$, and the edges of $H$ are determined by the sign-pattern of $m$ degree-$D$ polynomials.…

A random graph model on a host graph H is said to be 1-independent if for every pair of vertex-disjoint subsets A,B of E(H), the state of edges (absent or present) in A is independent of the state of edges in B. For an infinite connected…

In 1974, Erd\H{o}s posed the following problem. Given an oriented graph $H$, determine or estimate the maximum possible number of $H$-free orientations of an $n$-vertex graph. When $H$ is a tournament, the answer was determined precisely…

The triangle-free process begins with an empty graph on n vertices and iteratively adds edges chosen uniformly at random subject to the constraint that no triangle is formed. We determine the asymptotic number of edges in the maximal…

In their seminal paper from 1983, Erd\H{o}s and Szemer\'edi showed that any $n$ distinct integers induce either $n^{1+\epsilon}$ distinct sums of pairs or that many distinct products, and conjectured a lower bound of $n^{2-o(1)}$. They…
