The famous Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem asks the following: how many distinct distances must exist between a set of $n$ points in the plane? There are many generalisations of this question that ask one to consider different spaces…
The degree set of a finite simple graph $G$ is the set of distinct degrees of vertices of $G$. A theorem of Kapoor, Polimeni & Wall asserts that the least order of a graph with a given degree set $\mathscr D$ is $1+\max \mathscr D$.…
Circular arc graphs are graphs whose vertices can be represented as arcs on a circle such that any two vertices are adjacent if and only if their corresponding arcs intersect. Proper circular arc graphs are graphs which have a circular arc…
Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices and $(H,+)$ be an abelian group. What is the minimum size ${\sf S}_H(G)$ of the set of all sums $A(u)+A(v)$ over all injections $A:V(G)\to H$? In 2012, the first author, Angel, the second author, and…
In this short note, we prove that for \beta < 1/5 every graph G with n vertices and n^{2-\beta} edges contains a subgraph G' with at least cn^{2-2\beta} edges such that every pair of edges in G' lie together on a cycle of length at most 8.…
In this short note it is shown that every graph of diameter 2 and minimum degree at least 3 contains a cycle of length 4 or 8. This result contributes to the study of the Erd\H{o}s-Gy\'arf\'as Conjecture by confirming it for the class of…
We make progress on three long standing conjectures from the 1960s about path and cycle decompositions of graphs. Gallai conjectured that any connected graph on $n$ vertices can be decomposed into at most $\left\lceil…
We investigate lower bounds on the average degree in r-cliques in graphs of order n and size greater than t(r,n), where t(r,n) is the size of the Turan graph on n vertices and r color classes. Continuing earlier research of Edwards and…
A classical result of Nosal asserts that every $m$-edge graph with spectral radius $\lambda (G)> \sqrt{m}$ contains a triangle. A celebrated extension of Nikiforov [35] states that if $G$ is an $m$-edge graph with $\lambda (G)> \sqrt{(1-…
For any positive definite rational quadratic form $q$ of $n$ variables let $G(\mathbb{Q}^n, q)$ denote the graph with vertices $\mathbb{Q}^n$ and $x, y \in \mathbb{Q}^n$ connected iff $q(x - y) = 1$. This notion generalises standard…
We prove that if a complete connected $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$ has radial sectional curvature at a base point $p\in M$ bounded from below by the radial curvature function of a two-sphere of revolution $\widetilde M$ belonging…
Let $\hom(G)$ denote the size of the largest clique or independent set of a graph $G$. In 2007, Bukh and Sudakov proved that every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with $\hom(G) = O(\log n)$ contains an induced subgraph with $\Omega(n^{1/2})$ distinct…
We investigate dimensional constraints arising from representation theory when abstract graph edges possess internal degrees of freedom but lack geometric properties. We prove that such internal degrees of freedom can only encode…
In 2008 Chen and Chv\'atal conjectured that any metric space on n points has at least n lines, unless all the points belong to one line. Chv\atal proved in 2014 that this is indeed the case for metric spaces with distances 0, 1 and 2. In…
Benjamini and Papasoglou (2011) showed that planar graphs with uniform polynomial volume growth admit $1$-dimensional annular separators: The vertices at graph distance $R$ from any vertex can be separated from those at distance $2R$ by…
We prove the well-known Brown-Erd\H{o}s-S\'os Conjecture for hypergraphs of large uniformity in the following form: any dense linear $r$-graph $G$ has $k$ edges spanning at most $(r-2)k+3$ vertices, provided the uniformity $r$ of $G$ is…
An \emph{$(n,k,t)$-graph} is a graph on $n$ vertices in which every set of $k$ vertices contains a clique on $t$ vertices. Tur\'an's Theorem, rephrased in terms of graph complements, states that the unique minimum $(n,k,2)$-graph is an…
We prove that for $k \ll \sqrt[4]{n}$ regular resolution requires length $n^{\Omega(k)}$ to establish that an Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph with appropriately chosen edge density does not contain a $k$-clique. This lower bound is optimal up to…
Bollob\'{a}s and Nikiforov (J. Combin. Theory Ser. B. 97 (2007) 859-865) conjectured that for a graph $G$ with $e(G)$ edges and the clique number $\omega(G)$, then $ \lambda_{1}^{2}+\lambda_{2}^{2}\leq…
Let M be a closed minimal hypersurface in 5-dimensional Euclidean sphere with constant nonnegative scalar curvature. We prove that, if the sum of the cubes of all principal curvatures and the number of distinct principal curvatures are…
