A graph $G=(V,E)$ is called $d$-rigid if, for a generic embedding of its vertices in $\mathbb{R}^d$, every edge-length preserving continuous motion of the vertices preserves the distances between all pairs of non-adjacent vertices as well.…
In 1995, Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi showed that every large $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $(1/2 + \gamma)n$ contains all spanning trees of bounded degree. We consider a generalization of this result to loose…
Let Delta>1 be a fixed integer. We show that the random graph G(n,p) with p>>(log n/n)^{1/Delta} is robust with respect to the containment of almost spanning bipartite graphs H with maximum degree Delta and sublinear bandwidth in the…
Given a graph $G$ and $p\in [0,1]$, the random subgraph $G_p$ is obtained by retaining each edge of $G$ independently with probability $p$. We show that for every $\epsilon>0$, there exists a constant $C>0$ such that the following holds.…
For two graphs $G$ and $H$, write $G \stackrel{\mathrm{rbw}}{\longrightarrow} H$ if $G$ has the property that every \emph{proper} colouring of its edges yields a \emph{rainbow} copy of $H$. We study the thresholds for such so-called…
We propose a new proof technique that aims to be applied to the same problems as the Lov\'asz Local Lemma or the entropy-compression method. We present this approach in the context of non-repetitive colorings and we use it to improve…
In 1989, Zehavi and Itai conjectured that every $k$-connected graph contains $k$ independent spanning trees rooted at any prescribed vertex $r$. That is, for each vertex $v$, the unique $r$-$v$ paths within these $k$ spanning trees are…
A heterochromatic (or rainbow) graph is an edge-colored graph whose edges have distinct colors, that is, where each color appears at most once. In this paper, I propose a $(g,f)$-chromatic graph as an edge-colored graph where each color $c$…
An identifying code of a graph is a dominating set which uniquely determines all the vertices by their neighborhood within the code. Whereas graphs with large minimum degree have small domination number, this is not the case for the…
We present several results in extremal graph and hypergraph theory of topological nature. First, we show that if $\alpha>0$ and $\ell=\Omega(\frac{1}{\alpha}\log\frac{1}{\alpha})$ is an odd integer, then every graph $G$ with $n$ vertices…
Graph coloring is one of the central problems in distributed graph algorithms. Much of the research on this topic has focused on coloring with $\Delta+1$ colors, where $\Delta$ denotes the maximum degree. Using $\Delta+1$ colors may be…
We say that a hereditary graph class $\mathcal{G}$ is \emph{clique-sparse} if there is a constant $k=k(\mathcal{G})$ such that for every graph $G\in\mathcal{G}$, every vertex of $G$ belongs to at most $k$ maximal cliques, and any maximal…
Let H be a graph, and let C_H(G) be the number of (subgraph isomorphic) copies of H contained in a graph G. We investigate the fundamental problem of estimating C_H(G). Previous results cover only a few specific instances of this general…
We initiate the systematic study of the following Tur\'an-type question. Suppose $\Gamma$ is a graph with $n$ vertices such that the edge density between any pair of subsets of vertices of size at least $t$ is at most $1 - c$, for some $t$…
When $k|n$, the tree $\mathrm{Comb}_{n,k}$ consists of a path containing $n/k$ vertices, each of whose vertices has a disjoint path length $k-1$ beginning at it. We show that, for any $k=k(n)$ and $\epsilon>0$, the binomial random graph…
A graph $G$ is $\textit{universal}$ for a (finite) family $\mathcal{H}$ of graphs if every $H \in \mathcal{H}$ is a subgraph of $G$. For a given family $\mathcal{H}$, the goal is to determine the smallest number of edges an…
A graph H is strongly immersed in G if G is obtained from H by a sequence of vertex splittings (i.e., lifting some pairs of incident edges and removing the vertex) and edge removals. Equivalently, vertices of H are mapped to distinct…
For any small constant $\epsilon>0$, the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $G(n,\frac{1+\epsilon}{n})$ with high probability has a unique largest component which contains $(1\pm O(\epsilon))2\epsilon n$ vertices. Let $G_c(n,p)$ be obtained by…
A subgraph of an edge-coloured graph is called rainbow if all its edges have distinct colours. The study of rainbow subgraphs goes back more than two hundred years to the work of Euler on Latin squares. Since then rainbow structures have…
The bandwidth theorem [Mathematische Annalen, 343(1):175--205, 2009] states that any $n$-vertex graph $G$ with minimum degree $(\frac{k-1}{k}+o(1))n$ contains all $n$-vertex $k$-colourable graphs $H$ with bounded maximum degree and…
