The celebrated Andr\'{a}sfai--Erd\H{o}s--S\'{o}s Theorem from 1974 shows that every $n$-vertex triangle-free graph with minimum degree greater than $2n/5$ must be bipartite. Its extensions to $3$-uniform hypergraphs without the generalized…

One of Erdos's conjectures states that every triangle-free graph on $n$ vertices has an induced subgraph on $n/2$ vertices with at most $n^2/50$ edges. We report several partial results towards this conjecture. In particular, we establish…

The celebrated K\H{o}v\'ari-S\'os-Tur\'an theorem states that any $n$-vertex graph containing no copy of the complete bipartite graph $K_{s,s}$ has at most $O_s(n^{2-1/s})$ edges. In the past two decades, motivated by the applications in…

A multigraph $G$ is near-bipartite if $V(G)$ can be partitioned as $I,F$ such that $I$ is an independent set and $F$ induces a forest. We prove that a multigraph $G$ is near-bipartite when $3|W|-2|E(G[W])|\ge -1$ for every $W\subseteq…

A pure pair in a graph $G$ is a pair $A,B$ of disjoint subsets of $V(G)$ such that $A$ is complete or anticomplete to $B$. Jacob Fox showed that for all $\epsilon>0$, there is a comparability graph $G$ with $n$ vertices, where $n$ is large,…

Given a bipartite graph $H$ and a natural number $s$, let $\mathrm{ex}^*(n,H,s)$ denote the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph that contains neither $K_{s,s}$ nor an induced copy of $H$. Hunter, Milojevi\'c, Sudakov, and Tomon…

An {\em odd hole} in a graph is an induced subgraph which is a cycle of odd length at least five. An {\em odd parachute} is a graph obtained from an odd hole $H$ by adding a new edge $uv$ such that $x$ is adjacent to $u$ but not to $v$ for…

An \emph{$H$-packing} in a graph $G$ is a collection of pairwise vertex-disjoint copies of $H$ in $G$. We prove that for every $c > 0$ and every bipartite graph $H$, any $\lfloor cn \rfloor$-regular graph $G$ admits an $H$-packing that…

For graphs $F$ and $H$, we say $F$ is Ramsey for $H$ if every $2$-coloring of the edges of $F$ contains a monochromatic copy of $H$. The graph $F$ is Ramsey $H$-minimal if $F$ is Ramsey for $H$ and there is no proper subgraph $F'$ of $F$ so…

Sidorenko's conjecture states that for every bipartite graph $H$ on $\{1,\cdots,k\}$, $\int \prod_{(i,j)\in E(H)} h(x_i, y_j) d\mu^{|V(H)|} \ge \left( \int h(x,y) \,d\mu^2 \right)^{|E(H)|}$ holds, where $\mu$ is the Lebesgue measure on…

Let $\hom(G)$ denote the size of the largest clique or independent set of a graph $G$. In 2007, Bukh and Sudakov proved that every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with $\hom(G) = O(\log n)$ contains an induced subgraph with $\Omega(n^{1/2})$ distinct…

Two central topics of study in combinatorics are the so-called evolution of random graphs, introduced by the seminal work of Erd\H{o}s and R\'enyi, and the family of $H$-free graphs, that is, graphs which do not contain a subgraph…

A graph is strongly perfect if every induced subgraph H has a stable set that meets every maximal clique of H. A graph is claw-free if no vertex has three pairwise non-adjacent neighbors. The characterization of claw-free graphs that are…

Let $\mathbb{P}^s$ be the $s$-dimensional complex projective space, and let $X, Y$ be two non-empty open subsets of $\mathbb{P}^s$ in the Zariski topology. A hypersurface $H$ in $\mathbb{P}^s\times\mathbb{P}^s$ induces a bipartite graph $G$…

The H-free process starts with the empty graph on n vertices and adds edges chosen uniformly at random, one at a time, subject to the condition that no copy of H is created, where H is some fixed graph. When H is strictly 2-balanced, we…

A hypergraph is simple if it has no loops and no repeated edges, and a hypergraph is linear if it is simple and each pair of edges intersects in at most one vertex. For $n\geq 3$, let $r= r(n)\geq 3$ be an integer and let $\boldsymbol{k} =…

Equistable graphs are graphs admitting positive weights on vertices such that a subset of vertices is a maximal stable set if and only if it is of total weight $1$. In $1994$, Mahadev et al.~introduced a subclass of equistable graphs,…

We define a $(V_1, V_2, \ldots, V_k)$-partition for a given graph $H$ and graphical properties $P_1, P_2, \ldots, P_k$ as a partition where each $V_i$ induces a subgraph of $H$ with property $P_i$. Matamala (2007) extended this result by…

Boettcher, Schacht and Taraz gave a condition on the minimum degree of a graph G on n vertices that ensures G contains every r-chromatic graph H on n vertices of bounded degree and of bandwidth o(n), thereby proving a conjecture of Bollobas…

Let $n \equiv 0\, (\, \text{mod } 3\,)$ and $H_{n, n/3}^2$ be the 3-graph of order $n$, whose vertex set is partitioned into two sets $S$ and $T$ of size $\frac{1}{3}n+1$ and $\frac{2}{3}n -1$, respectively, and whose edge set consists of…
