We formulate and prove a synthetic Lorentzian Cartan-Hadamard theorem. This result both transfers the corresponding statement for locally convex metric spaces established by S. Alexander and R. Bishop to the Lorentzian setting, and…

The monography considers the problem of constructing a Hamiltonian cycle in a complete graph. A rule for constructing a Hamiltonian cycle based on isometric cycles of a graph is established. An algorithm for constructing a Hamiltonian cycle…

The first author together with Jenssen, Perkins and Roberts (2017) recently showed how local properties of the hard-core model on triangle-free graphs guarantee the existence of large independent sets, of size matching the best-known…

Methods to determine the existence of Hamiltonian Cycles in graphs have been extensively studied. However, little research has been done following cases when no Hamiltonian Cycle exists. Let a vertex be "unbounded" if it is visited more…

The semi-random graph process is an adaptive random graph process in which an online algorithm is initially presented an empty graph on $n$ vertices. In each round, a vertex $u$ is presented to the algorithm independently and uniformly at…

In 1963, Anton Kotzig famously conjectured that $K_{n}$, the complete graph of order $n$, where $n$ is even, can be decomposed into $n-1$ perfect matchings such that every pair of these matchings forms a Hamilton cycle. The problem is still…

This note presents a new, elementary proof of a generalization of a theorem of Halin to graphs with unbounded degrees, which is then applied to show that every connected, countably infinite graph G with a subdegree-finite, infinite…

The natural infinite analogue of a (finite) Hamilton cycle is a two-way-infinite Hamilton path (connected spanning 2-valent subgraph). Although it is known that every connected $2k$-valent infinite circulant graph has a two-way-infinite…

The local Gromov-Witten theory of curves is solved by localization and degeneration methods. Localization is used for the exact evaluation of basic integrals in the local Gromov-Witten theory of P^1. A TQFT formalism is defined via…

We prove measurable analogues of Whitney's classical theorems on weak isomorphisms of finite graphs. In the setting of locally finite graphings, we introduce a notion of weak isomorphism as an edge-measure-preserving Borel bijection that…

We study d-dimensional generalizations of three mutually related topics in graph theory: Hamiltonian paths, (unit) interval graphs, and binomial edge ideals. We provide partial high-dimensional generalizations of Ore and Posa's sufficient…

We survey some recent results on long-standing conjectures regarding Hamilton cycles in directed graphs, oriented graphs and tournaments. We also combine some of these to prove the following approximate result towards Kelly's conjecture on…

We study conditions under which a given hypergraph is randomly robust Hamiltonian, which means that a random sparsification of the host graph contains a Hamilton cycle with high probability. Our main contribution provides nearly optimal…

A recent development in graph-minor theory is to study local separators, vertex-sets that separate graphs locally but not necessarily globally. The local separators of a graph roughly correspond to the genuine separators of its local…

The aim of this paper is to extend and generalise some work of Katona on the existence of perfect matchings or Hamilton cycles in graphs subject to certain constraints. The most general form of these constraints is that we are given a…

We present a tight extremal threshold for the existence of Hamilton cycles in graphs with large minimum degree and without a large ``bipartite hole`` (two disjoint sets of vertices with no edges between them). This result extends Dirac's…

The famous Dirac's Theorem gives an exact bound on the minimum degree of an $n$-vertex graph guaranteeing the existence of a hamiltonian cycle. We prove exact bounds of similar type for hamiltonian Berge cycles in $r$-uniform, $n$-vertex…
