A variety of powerful extremal results have been shown for the chromatic number of triangle-free graphs. Three noteworthy bounds are in terms of the number of vertices, edges, and maximum degree given by Poljak \& Tuza (1994), and…

From the study of the high order freeness of random matrices, it is known that the order $r$ cumulant of the trace of a polynomial of $N$-dimensional GUE/GOE is of order $N^{2-r}$ if $r$ is fixed. In this work, we extend the study along…

The classical Erd\H{o}s-Ginzburg-Ziv constant of a group $G$ denotes the smallest positive integer $\ell$ such that any sequence $S$ of length at least $\ell$ contains a zero-sum subsequence of length $\exp(G)$. In a recent paper, Caro and…

Motivated by classical problems in extremal graph theory, we study a chromatic analogue of Roth-type questions for linear equations over $\mathbb F_p$. Given a homogeneous equation $\mathcal L:\sum_{i=1}^k c_i x_i=0$ with $k\ge 3$, we study…

In this paper we study sum-free sets of order $m$ in finite Abelian groups. We prove a general theorem on 3-uniform hypergraphs, which allows us to deduce structural results in the sparse setting from stability results in the dense setting.…

We consider operator-valued polynomials in Gaussian Unitary Ensemble random matrices and we show that its $L^p$-norm can be upper bounded, up to an asymptotically small error, by the operator norm of the same polynomial evaluated in free…

In this article, we give a new upper bound for the regularity of edge ideals of gap-free graphs, in terms of the their minimal triangulation. Let $H_U=G\cup F_U$ be a minimal triangulation of a gap-free graph $G$, for some maximal…

A $(p,q)$-coloring of a graph $G$ is an edge-coloring of $G$ which assigns at least $q$ colors to each $p$-clique. The problem of determining the minimum number of colors, $f(n,p,q)$, needed to give a $(p,q)$-coloring of the complete graph…

In 2016, Ellenberg and Gijswijt employed a method of Croot, Lev, and Pach to show that a maximal cap in $AG(n, q)$ has size $O(q^{cn})$ for some $c < 1$. In this paper, we show more generally that if $S$ is a subset of $AG(n, q)$ containing…

The Ruzsa-Szemer\'{e}di $(6,3)$-problem can be equivalently stated as determining the maximum number of edge-disjoint triangles on $n$ vertices such that no triangle is formed by edges from three distinct triangle-copies. Gowers and Janzer…

Let $\chi_{\Delta}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ denote the minimum number of colors needed to color $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ so that there will not be a monochromatic equilateral triangle with side length $1$. Using the slice rank method, we reprove a result…

Let $G$ be any triangle-free graph with maximum degree $\Delta\leq 3$. Staton proved that the independence number of $G$ is at least 5/14n. Heckman and Thomas conjectured that Staton's result can be strengthened into a bound on the…

In its Euclidean form, the Dense Neighborhood Lemma (DNL) asserts that if $V$ is a finite set of points of $\mathbb{R}^N$ such that for each $v \in V$ the ball $B(v,1)$ intersects $V$ on at least $\delta |V|$ points, then for every…

We introduce a new parameter, called stretch-width, that we show sits strictly between clique-width and twin-width. Unlike the reduced parameters [BKW '22], planar graphs and polynomial subdivisions do not have bounded stretch-width. This…

We show that the size of a 4-critical graph of girth at least five is bounded by a linear function of its genus. This strengthens the previous bound on the size of such graphs given by Thomassen. It also serves as the basic case for the…

In the affine space $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ over the finite field of order $q$, a point set $S$ is said to be $(d,k,r)$-evasive if the intersection between $S$ and any variety, of dimension $k$ and degree at most $d$, has cardinality less than…
