We develop a new method for constructing approximate decompositions of dense graphs into sparse graphs and apply it to longstanding decomposition problems. For instance, our results imply the following. Let $G$ be a quasi-random $n$-vertex…

A common theme in many extremal problems in graph theory is the relation between local and global properties of graphs. One of the most celebrated results of this type is the Ruzsa-Szemer\'edi triangle removal lemma, which states that if a…

Introduced in the mid-1970's as an intermediate step in proving a long-standing conjecture on arithmetic progressions, Szemer\'edi's regularity lemma has emerged over time as a fundamental tool in different branches of graph theory,…

The hypergraph regularity lemma -- the extension of Szemer\'edi's graph regularity lemma to the setting of $k$-uniform hypergraphs -- is one of the most celebrated combinatorial results obtained in the past decade. By now there are several…

We extend Szemeredi's Regularity Lemma (SRL) to abstract measure spaces. Our main aim is to find general conditions under which the original proof of Szemeredi still works. To illustrate that our approach has some merit, we outline several…

The Szemer\'edi Regularity Lemma, in combination with the Blow-up Lemma, form the Regularity Method, a fundamental tool in graph embeddings, albeit restricted to very large and dense graphs. We propose an alternative vertex-partitioning…

We prove algorithmic weak and \Szemeredi{} regularity lemmas for several classes of sparse graphs in the literature, for which only weak regularity lemmas were previously known. These include core-dense graphs, low threshold rank graphs,…

This article gives an overview of the emerging literature on large deviations for random graphs. Written for the general mathematical audience, the article begins with a short introduction to the theory of large deviations. This is followed…

A celebrated result of Gowers states that for every \epsilon > 0 there is a graph G so that every \epsilon-regular partition of G (in the sense of Szemeredi's regularity lemma) has order given by a tower of exponents of height polynomial in…

We introduce a regularity method for sparse graphs, with new regularity and counting lemmas which use the Schatten-von-Neumann norms to measure uniformity. This leads to $k$-cycle removal lemmas in subgraphs of mildly-pseudorandom graphs,…

Kolla and Tulsiani [KT07,Kolla11} and Arora, Barak and Steurer [ABS10] introduced the technique of subspace enumeration, which gives approximation algorithms for graph problems such as unique games and small set expansion; the running time…

Suppose a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ that satisfies a certain regularity instance (that is, there is a partition of $H$ given by the hypergraph regularity lemma into a bounded number of quasirandom subhypergraphs of prescribed densities).…

We prove a variant of the abstract probabilistic version of Szemer\'edi's regularity lemma, due to Tao, which applies to a number of structures (including graphs, hypergraphs, hypercubes, graphons, and many more) and works for random…

The graph removal lemma is a fundamental result in extremal graph theory which says that for every fixed graph $H$ and $\varepsilon > 0$, if an $n$-vertex graph $G$ contains $\varepsilon n^2$ edge-disjoint copies of $H$ then $G$ contains…

We introduce the Density Formula for (topological) drawings of graphs in the plane or on the sphere, which relates the number of edges, vertices, crossings, and sizes of cells in the drawing. We demonstrate its capability by providing…

Let H be a fixed graph with h vertices. The graph removal lemma states that every graph on n vertices with o(n^h) copies of H can be made H-free by removing o(n^2) edges. We give a new proof which avoids Szemer\'edi's regularity lemma and…
