The \emph{thinness} of a graph is a width parameter that generalizes some properties of interval graphs, which are exactly the graphs of thinness one. Graphs with thinness at most two include, for example, bipartite convex graphs. Many…

We study the asymptotic behavior of the number of paths of length $N$ on several classes of infinite graphs with a single special vertex. This vertex can work as an entropic trap for the path, i.e. under certain conditions the dominant part…

A tuple (s1,t1,s2,t2) of vertices in a simple undirected graph is 2-linked when there are two vertex-disjoint paths respectively from s1 to t1 and s2 to t2. A graph is 2-linked when all such tuples are 2-linked. We give a new and simple…

Many graph properties (e.g., connectedness, containing a complete subgraph) are known to be difficult to check. In a decision-tree model, the cost of an algorithm is measured by the number of edges in the graph that it queries. R. Karp…

We introduce a notion of the \emph{crux} of a graph $G$, measuring the order of a smallest dense subgraph in $G$. This simple-looking notion leads to some generalisations of known results about cycles, offering an interesting paradigm of…

Let $G$ be an infinite graph whose vertex set is the set of positive integers, and let $G_n$ be the subgraph of $G$ induced by the vertices $\{1,2, \dots , n \}$. An increasing path of length $k$ in $G$, denoted $I_k$, is a sequence of…

For a simple graph $G$, let $n$ and $m$ denote the number of vertices and edges in $G$, respectively. The Erd\H{o}s-Gallai theorem for paths states that in a simple $P_k$-free graph, $m \leq \frac{n(k-1)}{2}$, where $P_k$ denotes a path…

It is well-known that every tournament has a spanning path. We consider hypergraph analogues. In an \emph{$r$-uniform fully directed hypergraph}, or \emph{$r$-digraph}, every edge is a list or $r$ distinct vertices. An $(r,k)$-tournament is…

In this paper we show that $e/n$ is the sharp threshold for the existence of tight Hamilton cycles in random $k$-uniform hypergraphs, for all $k\ge 4$. When $k=3$ we show that $1/n$ is an asymptotic threshold. We also determine thresholds…

We prove a topological rigidity theorem for closed hypersurfaces of the Euclidean sphere and of an elliptic space form. It asserts that, under a lower bound hypothesis on the absolute value of the principal curvatures, the hypersurface is…

The Tur\'{a}n number of a graph $H$, denoted $\mbox{ex}(n,H)$, is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph with no subgraph isomorphic to $H$. Solymosi conjectured that if $H$ is any graph and $\mbox{ex}(n,H) = O(n^{\alpha})$…

For a $k$-uniform hypergraph $F$ let $\textrm{ex}(n,F)$ be the maximum number of edges of a $k$-uniform $n$-vertex hypergraph $H$ which contains no copy of $F$. Determining or estimating $\textrm{ex}(n,F)$ is a classical and central problem…

Tur\'an problems, which concern the minimum density threshold required for the existence of a particular substructure, are among the most fundamental problems in extremal combinatorics. We study Tur\'an problems for hypergraphs with an…

We introduce the class of "smooth rough paths" and study their main properties. Working in a smooth setting allows us to discard sewing arguments and focus on algebraic and geometric aspects. Specifically, a Maurer-Cartan perspective is the…

In 1959 Erd\H{o}s and Gallai proved the asymptotically optimal bound for the maximum number of edges in graphs not containing a path of a fixed length. Here we study a rainbow version of their theorem, in which one considers $k \geq 1$…

A graph has strong convex dimension $2$, if it admits a straight-line drawing in the plane such that its vertices are in convex position and the midpoints of its edges are also in convex position. Halman, Onn, and Rothblum conjectured that…
