Hadwiger's conjecture, among the most famous open problems in graph theory, states that every graph that does not contain $K_t$ as a minor is properly $(t-1)$-colorable. The purpose of this work is to demonstrate that a natural extension of…

Let $h(G)$ denote the largest $t$ such that $G$ contains $K_t$ as a minor and $\chi(G)$ be the chromatic number of $G$ respectively. In 1943, Hadwiger conjectured that $h(G) \geq \chi(G)$ for any graph $G$. In this paper, we prove that…

Given a graph $H$ on vertex set $\{1,2,\cdots, n\}$ and a function $f:[0,1]^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, define \begin{align*} \|f\|_{H}:=\left\vert\int \prod_{ij\in E(H)}f(x_i,x_j)d\mu^{|V(H)|}\right\vert^{1/|E(H)|}, \end{align*} where $\mu$…

Barry Simon conjectured in 2005 that the Szeg\H{o} matrices, associated with Verblunsky coefficients $\{\alpha_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{Z}_+}$ obeying $\sum_{n = 0}^\infty n^\gamma |\alpha_n|^2 < \infty$ for some $\gamma \in (0,1)$, are bounded for…

For a metric Peano continuum $X$, let $S_X$ be a Sierpi\'nski function assigning to each $\varepsilon>0$ the smallest cardinality of a cover of $X$ by connected subsets of diameter $\le \varepsilon$. We prove that for any increasing…

The Erd\"os-Hajnal conjecture states that for every graph $H$, there exists a constant $\delta(H) > 0$ such that every graph $G$ with no induced subgraph isomorphic to $H$ has either a clique or a stable set of size at least…

Let $E/F$ be a CM extension of number fields, and let $H < G$ be a unitary Gan--Gross--Prasad pair defined with respect to $E/F$ that is compact at infinity. We consider a family $\mathcal{F}$ of automorphic representations of $G \times H$…

Sidorenko's conjecture states that the number of copies of any given bipartite graph in another graph of given density is asymptotically minimized by a random graph. The forcing conjecture further strengthens this, claiming that any…

A class of graphs is $\chi$-bounded if there is a function $f$ such that $\chi(G)\le f(\omega(G))$ for every induced subgraph $G$ of every graph in the class, where $\chi,\omega$ denote the chromatic number and clique number of $G$…

Given a simple graph $G$, denote by $\Delta(G)$, $\delta(G)$, and $\chi'(G)$ the maximum degree, the minimum degree, and the chromatic index of $G$, respectively. We say $G$ is \emph{$\Delta$-critical} if $\chi'(G)=\Delta(G)+1$ and…

For $S\subseteq \mathbb{F}^n$, consider the linear space of restrictions of degree-$d$ polynomials to $S$. The Hilbert function of $S$, denoted $\mathrm{h}_S(d,\mathbb{F})$, is the dimension of this space. We obtain a tight lower bound on…

Let $G$ be a graph with the vertex set $ \lbrace v_1,\ldots,v_n \rbrace$. The Seidel matrix of $G$ is an $n\times n$ matrix whose diagonal entries are zero, $ij$-th entry is $-1$ if $ v_{i} $ and $ v_{j} $ are adjacent and otherwise is $ 1…

A graph $G$ arrows a graph $H$ if in every $2$-edge-coloring of $G$ there exists a monochromatic copy of $H$. Schelp had the idea that if the complete graph $K_n$ arrows a small graph $H$, then every "dense" subgraph of $K_n$ also arrows…

By using the Szemer\'edi Regularity Lemma, Alon and Sudakov recently extended the classical Andr\'asfai-Erd\~os-S\'os theorem to cover general graphs. We prove, without using the Regularity Lemma, that the following stronger statement is…

A graph K is multiplicative if a homomorphism from any product G x H to K implies a homomorphism from G or from H. Hedetniemi's conjecture states that all cliques are multiplicative. In an attempt to explore the boundaries of current…

Given a graphic degree sequence $D$, let $\chi(D)$ (respectively $\omega(D)$, $h(D)$, and $H(D)$) denote the maximum value of the chromatic number (respectively, the size of the largest clique, largest clique subdivision, and largest clique…

Every graph $G=(V,E)$ is an induced subgraph of some Kneser graph of rank $k$, i.e., there is an assignment of (distinct) $k$-sets $v \mapsto A_v$ to the vertices $v\in V$ such that $A_u$ and $A_v$ are disjoint if and only if $uv\in E$. The…
