In 1946 Fine and Niven posed problem E724, asking to demonstrate that every hypercube can be tiled by any number of hypercubic tiles larger than some value. This requires only basic number theory, but the problem of finding the smallest…

The Cycle double cover (CDC) conjecture states that for every bridgeless graph $G$, there exists a family $\mathcal{F}$ of cycles such that each edge of the graph is contained in exactly two members of $\mathcal{F}$. Given an embedding of a…

We say a red/blue edge-coloring of the $n$-dimensional cube graph, $Q_n$, is antipodal if all pairs of antipodal edges have different colors. Norine conjectured that in such a coloring there must exist a pair of antipodal vertices connected…

In 1966, Erd\H{o}s, Goodman, and P\'osa proved that $\lfloor n^2/4 \rfloor$ cliques are sufficient to cover all edges in any $n$-vertex graph, with tightness achieved by the balanced complete bipartite graph. This result was generalized by…

Motivated by an application in condensed matter physics and quantum information theory, we prove that every non-null even-hole-free claw-free graph has a simplicial clique, that is, a clique $K$ such that for every vertex $v \in K$, the set…

The Erdos-Hajnal Conjecture asserts that for every graph H there is a constant c > 0 such that every graph G that does not contain H as an induced subgraph has a clique or stable set of cardinality at least |G|^c. In this paper, we prove a…

The study of tilings is a major problem in many mathematical instances, which is studied in two main different approaches: when considering the existence (or obstructions to the existence) of a tiling with a given tile and the other…

The Reconstruction Conjecture of Kelly and Ulam states that any graph $G$ with $n\geq 3$ vertices can be reconstructed from the multiset $\mathcal{D}(G)$ of unlabelled subgraphs $G-v$ for all $v\in V(G)$. We refer to $\mathcal{D}(G)$ as the…

Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal conjectured that, for every graph $H$, there exists a constant $c_H$ such that every graph $G$ on $n$ vertices which does not contain any induced copy of $H$ has a clique or a stable set of size $n^{c_H}$. We prove that…

Non-singular weighted surface algebras satisfy the necessary condition found in [6] for existence of cluster tilting modules. We show that any such algebra whose Gabriel quiver is bipartite, has a module satisfying the necessary ext…

A central open question in extremal design theory is Nash-Williams' Conjecture from 1970 that every $K_3$-divisible graph on $n$ vertices (for $n$ large enough) with minimum degree at least $3n/4$ has a $K_3$-decomposition. A folklore…

We prove that for every k, there exists $c_k>0$ such that every graph G on n vertices not inducing a path $P_k$ and its complement contains a clique or a stable set of size $n^{c_k}$.

A graph $G$ contains $H$ as an \emph{immersion} if there is an injective mapping $\phi: V(H)\rightarrow V(G)$ such that for each edge $uv\in E(H)$, there is a path $P_{uv}$ in $G$ joining vertices $\phi(u)$ and $\phi(v)$, and all the paths…

We prove that the clique graph operator $k$ is divergent on a locally cyclic graph $G$ (i.e. $N_G(v)$ is a circle) with minimum degree $\delta(G)=6$ if and only if $G$ is $6$-regular. The clique graph $kG$ of a graph $G$ has the maximal…

For a graph $G$, let $cp(G)$ denote the minimum number of cliques of $G$ needed to cover the edges of $G$ exactly once. Similarly, let $bp_k(G)$ denote the minimum number of bicliques (i.e. complete bipartite subgraphs of $G$) needed to…

Let $G$ be a 2-connected $n$-vertex graph and $N_s(G)$ be the total number of $s$-cliques in $G$. Let $k\ge 4$ and $s\ge 2$ be integers. In this paper, we show that if $G$ has an edge $e$ which is not on any cycle of length at least $k$,…

In 1967 L. Auslander conjectured that every crystallographic subgroup of an affine group is virtually solvable, i.e. contains a solvable subgroup of finite index. D. Fried and W. Goldman proved Auslander's conjecture for affine space of…

Petersen's seminal work in 1891 asserts that the edge-set of a cubic graph can be covered by distinct perfect matchings if and only if it is bridgeless. Actually, it is known that for a very large fraction of bridgeless cubic graphs, every…

The Kepler conjecture asserts that no packing of congruent balls in three-dimensional Euclidean space has density greater than that of the face-centered cubic packing. The original proof, announced in 1998 and published in 2006, is long and…

We consider tilings $(\mathcal{Q},\Phi)$ of $\mathbb{R}^d$ where $\mathcal{Q}$ is the $d$-dimensional unit cube and the set of translations $\Phi$ is constrained to lie in a pre-determined lattice $A \mathbb{Z}^d$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We…
