Mubayi and Verstraete conjectured that if $T$ is a tree on $t + 1$ vertices, then any $n$-vertex graph $G$ with average degree $d$ contains at least \[ n d(d - 1) \cdots (d - t + 1) \] labeled copies of $T$ as long as $d$ is sufficiently…

Let $F_k$ be the set of graphs on $k$ vertices. For a graph $G$, a $k$-decomposition is a set of induced subgraphs of $G$, each isomorphic to an element of $F_k$, such that each pair of vertices of $G$ is in exactly one element of the set.…

We prove that every graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with no isolated vertices contains an induced subgraph of size at least $n/10000$ with all degrees odd. This solves an old and well-known conjecture in graph theory.

We give new decomposition theorems for classes of graphs that can be transduced in first-order logic from classes of sparse graphs -- more precisely, from classes of bounded expansion and from nowhere dense classes. In both cases, the…

We address several related problems on combinatorial discrepancy of trees in a setting introduced by Erd\H{o}s, F\"{u}redi, Loebl and S\'{o}s. Given a fixed tree $T$ on $n$ vertices and an edge-colouring of the complete graph $K_n$, for…

The sparse analogue of Szemer\'edi's regularity method has played a central role in the development of extremal results for random graphs. While the sparse embedding lemma (the KLR conjecture) has been resolved, the corresponding sparse…

In 1962 P\'osa conjectured that every graph G on n vertices with minimum degree at least 2n/3 contains the square of a hamiltonian cycle. In 1996 Fan and Kierstead proved the path version of P\'osa's Conjecture. They also proved that it…

We prove that if an $n$-vertex graph $G$ is non-extremal and $T$ is a bounded degree tree on $n$ vertices, then $T\subset G$ even when the minimum degree of $G$ is less than $n/2$ by a linear term. We avoid the use of the Regularity lemma,…

We provide a degree condition on a regular $n$-vertex graph $G$ which ensures the existence of a near optimal packing of any family $\mathcal H$ of bounded degree $n$-vertex $k$-chromatic separable graphs into $G$. In general, this degree…

Lehel conjectured that in every $2$-coloring of the edges of $K_n$, there is a vertex disjoint red and blue cycle which span $V(K_n)$. \L uczak, R\"odl, and Szemer\'edi proved Lehel's conjecture for large $n$, Allen gave a different proof…

The well-known 1-2-3 Conjecture asserts that the edges of every graph without isolated edges can be weighted with $1$, $2$ and $3$ so that adjacent vertices receive distinct weighted degrees. This is open in general, while it is known to be…

Given a graph $H$, we denote by ${\cal M}(H)$ all graphs that can be contracted to $H$. The following extension of the Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa Theorem holds: for every $h$-vertex planar graph $H$, there exists a function $f_{H}$ such that every…

The Erdos-Hajnal Conjecture asserts that for every graph H there is a constant c > 0 such that every graph G that does not contain H as an induced subgraph has a clique or stable set of cardinality at least |G|^c. In this paper, we prove a…

Modular Decomposition focuses on repeatedly identifying a module M (a collection of vertices that shares exactly the same neighbourhood outside of M) and collapsing it into a single vertex. This notion of exactitude of neighbourhood is very…

The K{\L}R conjecture of Kohayakawa, {\L}uczak, and R\"odl is a statement that allows one to prove that asymptotically almost surely all subgraphs of the random graph G_{n,p}, for sufficiently large p : = p(n), satisfy an embedding lemma…

One of the most basic results in graph theory states that every graph with at least two vertices has two vertices with the same degree. Since there are graphs without $3$ vertices of the same degree, it is natural to ask if for any fixed…

We show that for any fixed dense graph G and bounded-degree tree T on the same number of vertices, a modest random perturbation of G will typically contain a copy of T . This combines the viewpoints of the well-studied problems of embedding…

Tree-decompositions and treewidth are of fundamental importance in structural and algorithmic graph theory. The "spread" of a tree-decomposition is the minimum integer $s$ such that every vertex lies in at most $s$ bags. A…

Our main result is that every graph $G$ on $n\ge 10^4r^3$ vertices with minimum degree $\delta(G) \ge (1 - 1 / 10^4 r^{3/2} ) n$ has a fractional $K_r$-decomposition. Combining this result with recent work of Barber, K\"uhn, Lo and Osthus…

An $\alpha$-thin tree $T$ of a graph $G$ is a spanning tree such that every cut of $G$ has at most an $\alpha$ proportion of its edges in $T$. The Thin Tree Conjecture proposes that there exists a function $f$ such that for any $\alpha >…
