We prove that, for all $k \ge 3,$ and any integers $\Delta, n$ with $n \ge \Delta,$ there exists a $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices with maximum degree at most $\Delta$ whose $4$-color Ramsey number is at least $\mathrm{tw}_k(c_k…

Resolving a recent problem of Bell, Frieze, and Marbach, we establish both the threshold result of Frankston--Kahn--Narayanan--Park, and its strengthening by Spiro, in the rainbow setting. This has applications to the thresholds for rainbow…

In this paper, we determine the sharp threshold for universality of cokernels of random matrices over finite fields. More precisely, we prove the following: given any constant $c>1$, let $A(n)$ be a random $n \times n$ matrix over…

Let k be a natural number. We introduce k-threshold graphs. We show that there exists an O(n^3) algorithm for the recognition of k-threshold graphs for each natural number k. k-Threshold graphs are characterized by a finite collection of…

If each edge (u,v) of a graph G=(V,E) is decorated with a permutation pi_{u,v} of k objects, we say that it has a permuted k-coloring if there is a coloring sigma from V to {1,...,k} such that sigma(v) is different from pi_{u,v}(sigma(u))…

An abstract, Hales-Jewett type extension of the polynomial van der Waerden Theorem [J. Amer. Math. Soc. 9 (1996),725-753] is established: Theorem. Let r,d,q \in \N. There exists N \in \N such that for any r-coloring of the set of subsets of…

We determine to within a constant factor the threshold for the property that two random k-uniform hypergraphs with edge probability p have an edge-disjoint packing into the same vertex set. More generally, we allow the hypergraphs to have…

The present paper studies a quantitative version of the transversality theorem. More precisely, given a continuous function $f\in \mathcal{C}([0,1]^d,\mathbb{R}^m)$ and a manifold $W\subset \mathbb{R}^m$ of dimension $p$, a sharpness result…

Consider a homogeneous polynomial $p(z_1,...,z_n)$ of degree $n$ in $n$ complex variables . Assume that this polynomial satisfies the property : \\ $|p(z_1,...,z_n)| \geq \prod_{1 \leq i \leq n} Re(z_i)$ on the domain $\{(z_1,...,z_n) :…

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…

Here we present a short proof that the two-color van der Waerden number $w(3,k)$ is bounded from below by $(1-o(1))k^2$. Previous work has already shown that a superpolynomial lower bound holds for $w(3,k)$. However, we believe our result…

In 1964 Erd\H{o}s proved that $(1+\oh{1})) \frac{\eul \ln(2)}{4} k^2 2^{k}$ edges are sufficient to build a $k$-graph which is not two colorable. To this day, it is not known whether there exist such $k$-graphs with smaller number of edges.…
