Our goal is to investigate a close relative of the independent transversal problem in the class of infinite $K_n$-free graphs: we show that for any infinite $K_n$-free graph $G=(V,E)$ and $m\in \mathbb N$ there is a minimal $r=r(G,m)$ such…

A seminal result of Hajnal and Szemer\'{e}di states that if a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices has minimum degree $\delta(G) \ge (r-1)n/r$ for some integer $r \ge 2$, then $G$ contains a $K_r$-factor, assuming $r$ divides $n$. Extremal examples…

The Erd\H{o}s-Simonovits stability theorem states that for all \epsilon >0 there exists \alpha >0 such that if G is a K_{r+1}-free graph on n vertices with e(G) > ex(n,K_{r+1}) - \alpha n^2, then one can remove \epsilon n^2 edges from G to…

A $k$-edge-coloured graph is colour-balanced if each colour appears equally often. Resolving a conjecture of Pardey and Rautenbach, we show that any colour-balanced $k$-edge-coloured complete graph $K_{2kt}$ contains a perfect matching that…

Given a graph $G$ and a collection $\mathcal C$ of subsets of $\mathbb{R}^d$ indexed by the subsets of vertices of $G$, a constrained drawing of $G$ is a drawing, where each edge is drawn inside some set from $\mathcal C$, in such a way…

A strong interaction is known to exist between edge-colored graphs (which encode PL pseudo-manifolds of arbitrary dimension) and random tensor models (as a possible approach to the study of Quantum Gravity). The key tool is the {\it…

Tur\'an's Theorem says that an extremal $K_{r+1}$-free graph is $r$-partite. The Stability Theorem of Erd\H{o}s and Simonovits shows that if a $K_{r+1}$-free graph with $n$ vertices has close to the maximal $t_r(n)$ edges, then it is close…

We use an algebraic method to prove a degree version of the celebrated Erd\H os-Ko-Rado theorem: given $n>2k$, every intersecting $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ on $n$ vertices contains a vertex that lies on at most $\binom{n-2}{k-2}$ edges.…

Win [\emph{J. Graph Theory} {\bf 6}(1982), 489--492] conjectured that a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices contains $k$ disjoint perfect matchings, if the degree sum of any two nonadjacent vertices is at least $n+k-2$, where $n$ is even and $n\geq…

For any two integers $d,r \geq 1$, we show that there exists an edge ideal $I(G)$ such that the ${\rm reg}\left(R/I(G)\right)$, the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of $R/I(G)$, is $r$, and ${\rm deg} (h_{R/I(G)}(t))$, the degree of the…

Gyori and Lovasz independently proved the following beautiful theorem. Let $k\ge2$ be an integer, let $G$ be a $k$-connected graph on $n$ vertices, let $v_1,v_2,\ldots,v_k$ be distinct vertices of $G$ and let $n_1,n_2,\ldots,n_k$ be…

In $d$-dimensional space (over any field), given a set of lines, a joint is a point passed through by $d$ lines not all lying in some hyperplane. The joints problem asks to determine the maximum number of joints formed by $L$ lines, and it…

The Ramsey number $r(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number $N$ such that any red-blue colouring of the edges of $K_N$ contains a monochromatic copy of $G$. Pavez-Sign\'e, Piga and Sanhueza-Matamala proved that for any function $n\leq…

Given two graphs $G$ and $H$, the Ramsey number $R(G,H)$ is the minimum integer $N$ such that any coloring of the edges of $K_N$ in red or blue yields a red $G$ or a blue $H$. Let $v(G)$ be the number of vertices of $G$ and $\chi(G)$ be the…

For given graphs $G$ and $H$, let $|Hom(G,H)|$ denote the set of graph homomorphisms from $G$ to $H$. We show that for any finite, $n$-regular, bipartite graph $G$ and any finite graph $H$ (perhaps with loops), $|Hom(G,H)|$ is maximum when…

For each uniformity $k \geq 3$, we construct $k$-uniform linear hypergraphs $G$ with arbitrarily large maximum degree $\Delta$ whose independence polynomial $Z_G$ has a root $\lambda$ with $\lvert\lambda\rvert = O\left(\frac{\log…

Given a real $\mu\geq 1$, a graph $H$ is $\mu$-almost-regular if $\Delta(H)\leq \mu \delta(H)$. The celebrated regularization theorem of Erd\H{o}s and Simonovits states that for every real $0<\varepsilon<1$ there exists a real…

K\H onig's theorem says that the vertex cover number of every bipartite graph is at most its matching number (in fact they are equal since, trivially, the matching number is at most the vertex cover number). An equivalent formulation of K\H…

Let $\Omega_q=\Omega_q(H)$ denote the set of proper $[q]$-colorings of the hypergraph $H$. Let $\Gamma_q$ be the graph with vertex set $\Omega_q$ and an edge ${\sigma,\tau\}$ where $\sigma,\tau$ are colorings iff $h(\sigma,\tau)=1$. Here…

We study Hamiltonicity and pancyclicity in the graph obtained as the union of a deterministic $n$-vertex graph $H$ with $\delta(H)\geq\alpha n$ and a random $d$-regular graph $G$, for $d\in\{1,2\}$. When $G$ is a random $2$-regular graph,…
