The aim of this paper is to generalize the notion of the coloring complex of a graph to hypergraphs. We present three different interpretations of those complexes -- a purely combinatorial one and two geometric ones. It is shown, that most…

Weak and strong coloring numbers are generalizations of the degeneracy of a graph, where for each natural number $k$, we seek a vertex ordering such every vertex can (weakly respectively strongly) reach in $k$ steps only few vertices with…

We study the computational complexity of computing role colourings of graphs in hereditary classes. We are interested in describing the family of hereditary classes on which a role colouring with k colours can be computed in polynomial…

This is a treatise on finite point configurations spanning a fixed volume to be found in a single color-class of an arbitrary finite (measurable) coloring of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, or in a single large measurable subset…

We develop a theory on a topologically non-trivial manifold which leads to different vacuum backgrounds at the field level. The different colors of the same quark flavor live in different backgrounds generated by the action of the torsion…

This paper proves limit theorems for the number of monochromatic edges in uniform random colorings of general random graphs. These can be seen as generalizations of the birthday problem (what is the chance that there are two friends with…

We consider some problems concerning the maximum number of (strong) dominating sets in a regular graph, and their weighted analogues. Our primary tool is Shearer's entropy lemma. These techniques extend to a reasonably broad class of graph…

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…

There is a famous problem in geometric graph theory to find the chromatic number of the unit distance graph on Euclidean space; it remains unsolved. A theorem of Erdos and De-Bruijn simplifies this problem to finding the maximum chromatic…

In this paper, we first study a new extremal problem recently posed by Conlon and Tyomkyn~(arXiv: 2002.00921). Given a graph $H$ and an integer $k\geqslant 2$, let $f_{k}(n,H)$ be the smallest number of colors $c$ such that there exists a…

We establish nearly optimal sample complexity bounds for testing the $\rho$-clique property in the dense graph model. Specifically, we show that it is possible to distinguish graphs on $n$ vertices that have a $\rho n$-clique from graphs…

Gy\'arf\'as famously showed that in every $r$-coloring of the edges of the complete graph $K_n$, there is a monochromatic connected component with at least $\frac{n}{r-1}$ vertices. A recent line of study by Conlon, Tyomkyn, and the second…

Our main result is a robust generalisation of the Cockayne-Lorimer theorem on the multicolour Ramsey number of matchings. It is moreover a generalisation of the transference generalisation of Cockayne-Lorimer, which (informally) says that…

Term Coding asks: given a finite system of term identities $\Gamma$ in $v$ variables, how large can its solution set be on an $n$--element alphabet, when we are free to choose the interpretations of the function symbols? This turns familiar…

We use the combinatorial properties of central sets to prove a result about the existence of exponential monochromatic patterns, in the style of Hindman's Finite Sums Theorem. More precisely, we prove that for every finite coloring of the…

Combinatorics, in particular graph theory, has a rich history of being a domain of successful applications of tools from other areas of mathematics, including topological methods. Here, we survey the study of the Hom-complexes, and the ways…

Let $\chi_l(G)$ denote the list chromatic number of the $r$-uniform hypergraph~$G$. Extending a result of Alon for graphs, Saxton and the second author used the method of containers to prove that, if $G$ is simple and $d$-regular, then…

We examine a number of results of infinite combinatorics using the techniques of reverse mathematics. Our results are inspired by similar results in recursive combinatorics. Theorems included concern colorings of graphs and bounded graphs,…

A growing set of on-line applications are generating data that can be viewed as very large collections of small, dense social graphs -- these range from sets of social groups, events, or collaboration projects to the vast collection of…

We give asymptotically optimal constructions in generalized Ramsey theory using results about conflict-free hypergraph matchings. For example, we present an edge-coloring of $K_{n,n}$ with $2n/3 + o(n)$ colors such that each $4$-cycle…
