Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices and $(H,+)$ be an abelian group. What is the minimum size ${\sf S}_H(G)$ of the set of all sums $A(u)+A(v)$ over all injections $A:V(G)\to H$? In 2012, the first author, Angel, the second author, and…

For an $r$-graph $F$, define Sidorenko exponent $s(F)$ as $$s(F):= \sup \{s \geq 0: \exists \text{$r$-graph $H$ s.t. } t_F(H) = t_{K^{(r)}_r} (H)^s > 0\},$$ where $t_{H_1}(H_2)$ denotes the homomorphism density of $H_1$ in $H_2$. The…

Let $G$ be a simple graph with $2n$ vertices and a perfect matching. The forcing number $f(G,M)$ of a perfect matching $M$ of $G$ is the smallest cardinality of a subset of $M$ that is contained in no other perfect matching of $G$. Among…

The irregularity strength of a graph $G$, $s(G)$, is the least $k$ admitting a $\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$-weighting of the edges of $G$ assuring distinct weighted degrees of all vertices, or equivalently the least possible maximal edge multiplicity…

Questions concerning small fractional parts of polynomials and pseudo-polynomials have a long history in analytic number theory. In this paper, we improve on earlier work by Madritsch and Tichy. In particular, let $f=P+\phi$ where $P$ is a…

The Borodin--Kostochka conjecture states that every graph $G$ with maximum degree $\Delta(G)\ge 9$ satisfies $\chi(G)\le \max\{\omega(G),\Delta(G)-1\}$. In this paper, we verify this conjecture for graphs with sufficiently large maximum…

Let $G$ be a simple graph with maximum degree $\Delta$. We call $G$ \emph{overfull} if $|E(G)|>\Delta \lfloor |V(G)|/2\rfloor$. The \emph{core} of $G$, denoted $G_{\Delta}$, is the subgraph of $G$ induced by its vertices of degree $\Delta$.…

The Graph Minor Structure Theorem, originally proven by Robertson and Seymour [JCTB, 2003], asserts that there exist functions $f_1, f_2 \colon \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}$ such that for every non-planar graph $H$ with $t := |V(H)|$, every…

For $m, n\in \N$, the fractional power $\Gmn$ of a graph $G$ is the $m$th power of the $n$-subdivision of $G$, where the $n$-subdivision is obtained by replacing each edge in $G$ with a path of length $n$. It was conjectured by Iradmusa…

A famous conjecture of Sidorenko and Erd\H{o}s-Simonovits states that if H is a bipartite graph then the random graph with edge density p has in expectation asymptotically the minimum number of copies of H over all graphs of the same order…

We survey results on Hedetniemi's conjecture which are connected to adjoint functors in the "thin" category of graphs, and expose the obstacles to extending these results.

We prove that every $3$-graph $H$ on $n$ vertices with minimum codegree $\delta_2(H) \geq 7n/9 + o(n)$ contains the square of a tight Hamilton cycle. This strengthens a theorem of Bedenknecht and Reiher that $\delta_2(H) \geq 4n/5 + o(n)$…

One of the key results in Robertson and Seymour's seminal work on graph minors is the Grid-Minor Theorem (also called the Excluded Grid Theorem). The theorem states that for every grid $H$, every graph whose treewidth is large enough…

In 2022, Hamid Reza Daneshpajouh provided some counterexamples to the following conjecture of Florian Frick. \bf Conjecture. Let $r \geq 3$. Then, every hypergraph ${\cal G}$ over the ground set $[n]$ satisfies $$ \chi \left({\rm KG}^r…

Let $G$ be a Hamiltonian graph with $n$ vertices. A nonempty vertex set $X\subseteq V(G)$ is called a Hamiltonian cycle enforcing set (in short, an $H$-force set) of $G$ if every $X$-cycle of $G$ (i.e., a cycle of $G$ containing all…

A celebrated unresolved conjecture of Erd\"{o}s and Hajnal states that for every undirected graph $H$ there exists $ \epsilon(H) > 0 $ such that every undirected graph on $ n $ vertices that does not contain $H$ as an induced subgraph…

For a given graph $H$, we say that a graph $G$ has a perfect $H$-subdivision tiling if $G$ contains a collection of vertex-disjoint subdivisions of $H$ covering all vertices of $G.$ Let $\delta_{\mathrm{sub}}(n, H)$ be the smallest integer…

The conjecture of Bollob\'as and Koml\'os, recently proved by B\"ottcher, Schacht, and Taraz [Math. Ann. 343(1), 175--205, 2009], implies that for any $\gamma>0$, every balanced bipartite graph on $2n$ vertices with bounded degree and…

A perfect $K_t$-matching in a graph $G$ is a spanning subgraph consisting of vertex disjoint copies of $K_t$. A classic theorem of Hajnal and Szemer\'edi states that if $G$ is a graph of order $n$ with minimum degree $\delta(G) \ge…

Let $G_{n,\gamma}$ be the set of all connected graphs on $n$ vertices with domination number $\gamma$. A graph is called a minimizer graph if it attains the minimum spectral radius among $G_{n,\gamma}$. Very recently, Liu, Li and Xie…
