Let $N$ be a compact, connected, nonorientable surface of genus $g$ with $n$ boundary components. Let $\lambda$ be a simplicial map of the complex of curves, $\mathcal{C}(N)$, on $N$ which satisfies the following: $[a]$ and $[b]$ are…

Dirac's theorem states that any $n$-vertex graph $G$ with even integer $n$ satisfying $\delta(G) \geq n/2$ contains a perfect matching. We generalize this to $k$-uniform linear hypergraphs by proving the following. Any $n$-vertex…

In this note, we prove several Tur\'an-type results on geometric hypergraphs. The two main theorems are 1) Every $n$-vertex geometric 3-hypergraph in 2-space with no three strongly crossing edges has at most $O(n^2)$ edges, 2) Every…

In 1995, Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi showed that every large $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $(1/2 + \gamma)n$ contains all spanning trees of bounded degree. We consider a generalization of this result to loose…

Let $G$ be a finite group acting on a connected compact surface $\Sigma$, and $M$ be an integer homology 3-sphere. We show that if each element of $G$ is extendable over $M$ with respect to a fixed embedding $\Sigma\rightarrow M$, then $G$…

We provide a simple characterization of simplicial complexes on few vertices that embed into the $d$-sphere. Namely, a simplicial complex on $d+3$ vertices embeds into the $d$-sphere if and only if its non-faces do not form an intersecting…

We prove that if an $n$-dimensional space $X$ satisfies certain topological conditions then any triangulation of $X$ as well as any its representation as a simplicial set with contractible faces has at least $2^n$ faces of dimension $n$.…

We prove that every $3$-graph $H$ on $n$ vertices with minimum codegree $\delta_2(H) \geq 7n/9 + o(n)$ contains the square of a tight Hamilton cycle. This strengthens a theorem of Bedenknecht and Reiher that $\delta_2(H) \geq 4n/5 + o(n)$…

Topological drawings are representations of graphs in the plane, where vertices are represented by points, and edges by simple curves connecting the points. A drawing is simple if two edges intersect at most in a single point, either at a…

Simplicial surfaces describe the incidence relations between vertices, edges and faces of triangulated 2-dimensional manifolds in a purely combinatorial way. By considering only the incidences of edges and faces, simplicial surfaces are…

Any $n$-vertex $3$-graph with minimum codegree at least $\lfloor n/3\rfloor$ must have a spanning tight component, but immediately below this threshold it is possible for no tight component to span more than $\lceil 2n/3\rceil$ vertices.…

We prove that every (6k + 2l, 2k)-connected simple graph contains k rigid and l connected edge-disjoint spanning subgraphs. This implies a theorem of Jackson and Jord\'an [4] and a theorem of Jord\'an [6] on packing of rigid spanning…

We show that the complete graphs on $24s+21$ vertices have decompositions into two edge-disjoint subgraphs, each of which triangulates an orientable surface. The special case where the two surfaces are homeomorphic solves a generalized…

A well known theorem in graph theory states that every graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and minimum degree at least $d$ contains a path of length at least $d$, and if $G$ is connected and $n\ge 2d+1$ then $G$ contains a path of length at least…

It is well-known that the Pachner graph of $n$-vertex triangulated $2$-spheres is connected, i.e., each pair of $n$-vertex triangulated $2$-spheres can be turned into each other by a sequence of edge flips for each $n\geq 4$. In this…

Erd\H{o}s conjectured that every $n$-vertex triangle-free graph contains a subset of $\lfloor n/2\rfloor$ vertices that spans at most $n^2/50$ edges. Extending a recent result of Norin and Yepremyan, we confirm this conjecture for graphs…
