R\"odl, Ruci\'nski, and Szemer\'edi determined the minimum $(k-1)$-degree threshold for the existence of fractional perfect matchings in $k$-uniform hypergrahs, and K\"uhn, Osthus, and Townsend extended this result by asymptotically…

For a nonnegative integer $k$, a graph $G$ is said to be $k$-factor-critical if $G-Q$ admits a perfect matching for any $Q\subseteq V(G)$ with $|Q|=k$. In this article, we prove spectral radius conditions for the existence of…

This paper concerns the facial geometry of the set of $n \times n$ correlation matrices. The main result states that almost every set of $r$ vertices generates a simplicial face, provided that $r \leq \sqrt{\mathrm{c} n}$, where…

The bidimensionality of a set of vertices $X$ in a graph $G$ is the maximum $k$ for which $G$ contains as a $X$-rooted minor the $(k \times k)$-grid. This notion allows for the following version of the Graph Minors Structure Theorem (GMST)…

Let $G$ be a finite group of order $n$ and for $1 \leq i \leq k+1$ let $V_i=\{i\} \times G$. Viewing each $V_i$ as a $0$-dimensional complex, let $Y_{G,k}$ denote the simplicial join $V_1*\cdots*V_{k+1}$. For $A \subset G$ let $Y_{A,k}$ be…

In this paper, we present a sharp upper bound for the spectral radius of an $n$-vertex graph without $F$-minor for sufficient large $n$, where $F$ is obtained from the complete graph $K_r$ by deleting disjointed paths. Furthermore, the…

Let $S$ be a $k$-colored (finite) set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 3$, in general position, that is, no {$(d + 1)$} points of $S$ lie in a common $(d - 1)$}-dimensional hyperplane. We count the number of empty monochromatic…

We introduce a filtration on the simplicial homology of a finite simplicial complex X using bi-colourings of its vertices. This yields two dual homology theories closely related to discrete Morse matchings on X. We give an explicit…

In [Ho] A.J. Hoffman proved a lower bound on the chromatic number of a graph in the terms of the largest and the smallest eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. In this paper, we prove a higher dimensional version of this result and give a…
