We develop a notion of containment for independent sets in hypergraphs. For every $r$-uniform hypergraph $G$, we find a relatively small collection $C$ of vertex subsets, such that every independent set of $G$ is contained within a member…

The classes of odd graphs $O_n$ and middle levels graphs $B_n$ form one parameter subclasses of the Kneser graphs and bipartite Kneser graphs respectively. In particular both classes are vertex transitive while resisting definitive…

Let $ D $ be a finite digraph, and let $ V_0,\dots,V_{k-1} $ be nonempty subsets of $ V(D) $. The (strong form of) Edmonds' branching theorem states thatthere are pairwise edge-disjoint spanning branchings $ \mathcal{B}_0,\dots,…

A few steps are made towards representation theory of embeddability among uncountable graphs. A monotone class of graphs is defined by forbidding countable subgraphs, related to the graph's end-structure. Using a combinatorial theorem of…

We develop a new framework to study minimum $d$-degree conditions in $k$-uniform hypergraphs, which guarantee the existence of a tight Hamilton cycle. Our main theoretical result deals with the typical absorption, path cover and connecting…

We show that for any natural number $s$, there is a constant $\gamma$ and a subgraph-closed class having, for any natural $n$, at most $\gamma^n$ graphs on $n$ vertices up to isomorphism, but no adjacency labeling scheme with labels of size…

By providing a procedure to apply Hrushovski's amalgamation method to the setting of classes of infinite structures, we introduce the notion of \textit{paracollapsed} structures. We show that this approach provides existentially closed…

We study classes of graded structures satisfying the properties of amalgamation, joint embedding and hereditariness. Given appropriate conditions, we can build a graded analogue of the Fraisse limit. Some examples such as the class of all…

We consider sufficient conditions for the existence of $k$-th powers of Hamiltonian cycles in $n$-vertex graphs $G$ with minimum degree $\mu n$ for arbitrarily small $\mu>0$. About 20 years ago Koml\'os, Sark\"ozy, and Szemer\'edi resolved…

For a finite point set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and a connected graph $G$ on $k+1$ vertices, we define a $G$-framework to be a collection of $k + 1$ points in E such that the distance between a pair of points is specified if the…

We prove the following version of the Loebl-Komlos-Sos Conjecture: For every alpha>0 there exists a number M such that for every k>M every n-vertex graph G with at least (0.5+alpha)n vertices of degree at least (1+alpha)k contains each tree…

We exactly settle the complexity of graph realization, graph rigidity, and graph global rigidity as applied to three types of graphs: "globally noncrossing" graphs, which avoid crossings in all of their configurations; matchstick graphs,…

Our work builds on known results for k-uniform hypergraphs including the existence of limits, a Regularity Lemma and a Removal Lemma. Our main tool here is a theory of measures on ultraproduct spaces which establishes a correspondence…

We prove that any graph $G$ of minimum degree greater than $2k^2-1$ has a $(k+1)$-connected induced subgraph $H$ such that the number of vertices of $H$ that have neighbors outside of $H$ is at most $2k^2-1$. This generalizes a classical…

Divergence functions of a metric space estimate the length of a path connecting two points $A$, $B$ at distance $\le n$ avoiding a large enough ball around a third point $C$. We characterize groups with non-linear divergence functions as…

Given a graph $H$, a balanced subdivision of $H$ is a graph obtained from $H$ by subdividing every edge the same number of times. In 1984, Thomassen conjectured that for each integer $k\ge 1$, high average degree is sufficient to guarantee…

A perfect $K_t$-matching in a graph $G$ is a spanning subgraph consisting of vertex disjoint copies of $K_t$. A classic theorem of Hajnal and Szemer\'edi states that if $G$ is a graph of order $n$ with minimum degree $\delta(G) \ge…
