We study the spectral gap of the Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graph through the connectivity threshold. In particular, we show that for any fixed $\delta > 0$ if $$p \ge \frac{(1/2 + \delta) \log n}{n},$$ then the normalized graph Laplacian of…

A common model of robustness of a graph against random failures has all vertices operational, but the edges independently operational with probability $p$. One can ask for the probability that all vertices can communicate ({\em all-terminal…

Dirac's classical theorem asserts that, for $n \ge 3$, any $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $n/2$ is Hamiltonian. Furthermore, if we additionally assume that such graphs are regular, then, by the breakthrough work of Csaba,…

We prove that in all regular robust expanders $G$ every edge is asymptotically equally likely contained in a uniformly chosen perfect matching $M$. We also show that given any fixed matching or spanning regular graph $N$ in $G$, the random…

We present a method which provides a unified framework for most stability theorems that have been proved in graph and hypergraph theory. Our main result reduces stability for a large class of hypergraph problems to the simpler question of…

We study the problem of detecting the presence of an underlying high-dimensional geometric structure in a random graph. Under the null hypothesis, the observed graph is a realization of an Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $G(n,p)$. Under the…

We generalize the structure theorem of Robertson and Seymour for graphs excluding a fixed graph $H$ as a minor to graphs excluding $H$ as a topological subgraph. We prove that for a fixed $H$, every graph excluding $H$ as a topological…

A simple graph $G=(V,E)$ on $n$ vertices is said to be recursively partitionable (RP) if $G \simeq K_1$, or if $G$ is connected and satisfies the following recursive property: for every integer partition $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_k$ of $n$, there…

The Graph Reconstruction Conjecture famously posits that any undirected graph on at least three vertices is determined up to isomorphism by its family of (unlabeled) induced subgraphs. At present, the conjecture admits partial resolutions…

In this note, we prove that every 4-connected optimal 2-planar graph is Hamiltonian-connected. Furthermore, we show that the 4-connectedness condition is sharp by constructing infinitely many 3-connected optimal 2-planar graphs that are…

A graph is \textit{rigid} if it only admits the identity endomorphism. We show that for every $d\ge 3$ there exist infinitely many mutually rigid $d$-regular graphs of arbitrary odd girth $g\geq 7$. Moreover, we determine the minimum order…

Let $\Lambda(T)$ denote the set of leaves in a tree $T$. One natural problem is to look for a spanning tree $T$ of a given graph $G$ such that $\Lambda(T)$ is as large as possible. This problem is called maximum leaf number, and it is a…
