We investigate topological, combinatorial, statistical, and enumeration properties of finite graphs with high Kolmogorov complexity (almost all graphs) using the novel incompressibility method. Example results are: (i) the mean and variance…

This paper studies higher index theory for a random sequence of bounded degree, finite graphs with diameter tending to infinity. We show that in a natural model for such random sequences the following hold almost surely: the coarse…

A paradigm that was successfully applied in the study of both pure and algorithmic problems in graph theory can be colloquially summarized as stating that "any graph is close to being the disjoint union of expanders". Our goal in this paper…

An orthogonal representation of a graph is an assignment of nonzero real vectors to its vertices such that distinct non-adjacent vertices are assigned to orthogonal vectors. We prove general lower bounds on the dimension of orthogonal…

In the present paper, we show that many combinatorial and topological objects, such as maps, hypermaps, three-dimensional pavings, constellations and branched coverings of the two--sphere admit any given finite automorphism group. This…

Let $A$ and $B$ be sets of vertices in a graph $G$. Menger's theorem states that for every positive integer $k$, either there exists a collection of $k$ vertex-disjoint paths between $A$ and $B$, or $A$ can be separated from $B$ by a set of…

Ramsey theory looks for regularities in large objects. Model theory studies algebraic structures as models of theories. The structural Ramsey theory combines these two fields and is concerned with Ramsey-type questions about certain…

Almost forty years ago, Connes, Feldman and Weiss proved that for measurable equivalence relations the notions of amenability and hyperfiniteness coincide. In this paper we define the uniform version of amenability and hyperfiniteness for…

We study a modified version of Lerman-Whitehouse Menger-like curvature defined for m+2 points in an n-dimensional Euclidean space. For 1 <= l <= m+2 and an m-dimensional subset S of R^n we also introduce global versions of this discrete…

We give an approximate Menger-type theorem for when a graph $G$ contains two $X-Y$ paths $P_1$ and $P_2$ such that $P_1 \cup P_2$ is an induced subgraph of $G$. More generally, we prove that there exists a function $f(d) \in O(d)$, such…

We expand upon the notion of bottlenecking introduced in our earlier work, characterizing a spectrum of graphs and showing that this naturally extends to a concept of coarse bottlenecking. We show how the notion of bottlenecking provides a…

This paper introduces a geometric representation of hypergraphs by representing hyperedges as simplices. Building on this framework, we employ homotopy groups to analyze the topological structure of hypergraphs embedded in high-dimensional…
