Bipartite graphs are a fundamental concept in graph theory with diverse applications. A graph is bipartite iff it contains no odd cycles, a characteristic that has many implications in diverse fields ranging from matching problems to the…

For which (first-order complete, usually countable) $T$ do there exist non-isomorphic models of $T$ which become isomorphic after forcing with a forcing notion $\mathbb{P}$? Necessarily, $\mathbb{P}$ is non-trivial; i.e.~it adds some new…

Given $k\ge 2$ and two $k$-graphs ($k$-uniform hypergraphs) $F$ and $H$, an $F$-factor in $H$ is a set of vertex-disjoint copies of $F$ that together covers the vertex set of $H$. Lenz and Mubayi [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 2016] studied the…

A combinatorial object is said to be quasirandom if it exhibits certain properties that are typically seen in a truly random object of the same kind. It is known that a permutation is quasirandom if and only if the pattern density of each…

Given graphs $H_1,H_2$, a graph $G$ is $(H_1,H_2)$-Ramsey if for every colouring of the edges of $G$ with red and blue, there is a red copy of $H_1$ or a blue copy of $H_2$. In this paper we investigate Ramsey questions in the setting of…

We give short and simple proofs of the inequalities $B(G)\leq Z(L(G))$ and $Z(G)\leq Z(L(G))$ first established by Erzurumluo\u{g}lu, Meagher, and Pike, where $G$ is a graph without isolated vertices, $B(G)$ is the brushing number of $G$,…

Let k >= 2 and F be a linear k-uniform hypergraph with v vertices. We prove that if n is sufficiently large and v|n, then every quasirandom k-uniform hypergraph on n vertices with constant edge density and minimum degree $\Omega(n^{k-1})$…

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 $G$…

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 a $k$-uniform hypergraph $F$ let $\textrm{ex}(n,F)$ be the maximum number of edges of a $k$-uniform $n$-vertex hypergraph $H$ which contains no copy of $F$. Determining or estimating $\textrm{ex}(n,F)$ is a classical and central problem…

Kang and Park recently showed that every cubic (loopless) multigraph is incidence 6-choosable [On incidence choosability of cubic graphs. \emph{arXiv}, April 2018]. Equivalently, every bipartite graph obtained by subdividing once every edge…

Huang proved that every set of more than half the vertices of the $d$-dimensional hypercube $Q_d$ induces a subgraph of maximum degree at least $\sqrt{d}$, which is tight by a result of Chung, F\"uredi, Graham, and Seymour. Huang asked…

Denote by $F_5$ the $3$-uniform hypergraph on vertex set $\{1,2,3,4,5\}$ with hyperedges $\{123,124,345\}$. Balogh, Butterfield, Hu, and Lenz proved that if $p > K \log n / n$ for some large constant $K$, then every maximum $F_5$-free…

The classical extremal function for a graph $H$, $ex(K_n, H)$ is the largest number of edges in a subgraph of $K_n$ that contains no subgraph isomorphic to $H$. Note that defining $ex(K_n, H-ind)$ by forbidding induced subgraphs isomorphic…

We show that for each $r\ge 4$, in a density range extending up to, and slightly beyond, the threshold for a $K_r$-factor, the copies of $K_r$ in the random graph $G(n,p)$ are randomly distributed, in the (one-sided) sense that the…
