Many recent results in combinatorics concern the relationship between the size of a set and the number of distances determined by pairs of points in the set. One extension of this question considers configurations within the set with a…

In this note we consider a Ramsey property of random $d$-regular graphs, $\mathcal{G}(n,d)$. Let $r\ge 2$ be fixed. Then w.h.p. the edges of $\mathcal{G}(n, 2r)$ can be colored such that every monochromatic component has size $o(n)$. On the…

In 2004, Karo\'nski, \L uczak and Thomason proposed $1$-$2$-$3$-conjecture: For every nice graph $G$ there is an edge weighting function $ w:E(G)\rightarrow\{1,2,3\} $ such that the induced vertex coloring is proper. After that, the total…

A keyring is a graph obtained by appending $r \geq 1$ leaves to one of the vertices of a cycle. We prove that for every $r \leq (k-1)/2$, any graph with average degree more than $k-1$ contains a keyring with $r$ leaves and at least $k$…

The conjecture of Brown, Erd\H{o}s and S\'os from 1973 states that, for any $k \ge 3$, if a $3$-uniform hypergraph $H$ with $n$ vertices does not contain a set of $k+3$ vertices spanning at least $k$ edges then it has $o(n^2)$ edges. The…

The celebrated canonical Ramsey theorem of Erd\H{o}s and Rado implies that for a given $k$-uniform hypergraph (or $k$-graph) $H$, if $n$ is sufficiently large then any colouring of the edges of the complete $k$-graph $K^{(k)}_n$ gives rise…

We prove that for every complete multipartite graph $F$ there exist very dense graphs $G_n$ on $n$ vertices, namely with as many as ${n\choose 2}-cn$ edges for all $n$, for some constant $c=c(F)$, such that $G_n$ can be decomposed into…

Let $H$ be a graph on $h$ vertices. The number of induced copies of $H$ in a graph $G$ is denoted by $i_H(G)$. Let $i_H(n)$ denote the maximum of $i_H(G)$ taken over all graphs $G$ with $n$ vertices. Let $f(n,h) = \Pi_{i}^h a_i$ where…

A seminal result by Koml\'os, Sark\"ozy, and Szemer\'edi states that if a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices has minimum degree at least $kn/(k + 1)$, for some $k \in \mathbb{N}$ and $n$ sufficiently large, then it contains the $k$-th power of a…

Scott proved in 1997 that for any tree $T$, every graph with bounded clique number which does not contain any subdivision of $T$ as an induced subgraph has bounded chromatic number. Scott also conjectured that the same should hold if $T$ is…

A graph $H$ is common if its Ramsey multiplicity, i.e., the minimum number of monochromatic copies of $H$ contained in any $2$-edge-coloring of $K_n$, is asymptotically the same as the number of monochromatic copies in the random…

We consider the pattern detection problem in graphs: given a constant size pattern graph $H$ and a host graph $G$, determine whether $G$ contains a subgraph isomorphic to $H$. Our main results are: * We prove that if a pattern $H$ contains…

For any small constant $\epsilon>0$, the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $G(n,\frac{1+\epsilon}{n})$ with high probability has a unique largest component which contains $(1\pm O(\epsilon))2\epsilon n$ vertices. Let $G_c(n,p)$ be obtained by…
