A well-known theorem of Whitney states that a 3-connected planar graph admits an essentially unique embedding into the 2-sphere. We prove a 3-dimensional analogue: a simply-connected $2$-complex every link graph of which is 3-connected…

A metric probability space $M$ admits thresholds if the random geometric graph on $M$ has a threshold for every monotone graph property. We connect the existence of thresholds to the uniform expansion of $M$ and prove that all standard…

We describe topology of random simplicial complexes in the lower and upper models in the medial regime, i.e. under the assumption that the probability parameters $p_\sigma$ approach neither $0$ nor $1$. We show that nontrivial Betti numbers…

We introduce the multineighbor complex of a graph, which is a simplicial complex in which a simplex is a subset of the graph with a sufficient number of mutual neighbors. We investigate the asymptotic homological properties of such…

A simple topological graph T = (V(T), E(T)) is a drawing of a graph in the plane where every two edges have at most one common point (an endpoint or a crossing) and no three edges pass through a single crossing. Topological graphs G and H…

The classical theorem of F\'{a}ry states that every planar graph can be represented by an embedding in which every edge is represented by a straight line segment. We consider generalizations of F\'{a}ry's theorem to surfaces equipped with…

We prove that for any finite tree $T$ with $n$ vertices and maximal degree $3$, there is a topological embedding of $T$ into the integer grid $Z^2$ which maps vertices to vertices and whose image meets at most $\frac{7}{3}n$ vertices. This…

J.~Palis found necessary conditions for a Morse-Smale diffeomorphism on a closed $n$-dimensional manifold $M^n$ to embed into a topological flow and proved that these conditions are also sufficient for $n=2$. For the case $n=3$ a…

The complex of domains $D(S)$ is a geometric tool with a very rich simplicial structure, it contains the curve complex $C(S)$ as a simplicial subcomplex. In this paper we shall regard it as a metric space, endowed with the metric which…

In this paper we study the Linial-Meshulam model of random two-dimensional complexes. We prove that a random 2-complex is homotopically one dimensional, with probability tending to one as n tends to infitnity, assuming that the probability…

It is known that if $p$ is a sufficiently large prime then for every function $f:\mathbb{Z}_p\to [0,1]$ there exists a continuous function on the circle $f':\mathbb{T}\to [0,1]$ such that the averages of $f$ and $f'$ across any prescribed…

Loebl, Koml\'os and S\'os conjectured that every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with at least $n/2$ vertices of degree at least $k$ contains each tree $T$ of order $k+1$ as a subgraph. We give a sketch of a proof of the approximate version of this…

In a series of four papers we prove the following relaxation of the Loebl-Komlos-Sos Conjecture: For every $\alpha>0$ there exists a number $k_0$ such that for every $k>k_0$ every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with at least $(\frac12+\alpha)n$…
