Consider a random $n\times n$ zero-one matrix with "density" $p$, sampled according to one of the following two models: either every entry is independently taken to be one with probability $p$ (the "Bernoulli" model), or each row is…

A graph $H$ is said to be common if the number of monochromatic labelled copies of $H$ in a red/blue edge colouring of a large complete graph is asymptotically minimized by a random colouring with an equal proportion of each colour. We…

Let $M_n$ be a class of symmetric sparse random matrices, with independent entries $M_{ij} = \delta_{ij} \xi_{ij}$ for $i \leq j$. $\delta_{ij}$ are i.i.d. Bernoulli random variables taking the value $1$ with probability $p \geq…

We consider the chromatic number of the random Borsuk graph. The random Borsuk graph is obtained by sampling $n$ points i.i.d. uniformly at random on the $d$-dimensional sphere $S^d$, and joining a pair of points by an edge whenever their…

Raimi's theorem guarantees the existence of a partition of $\mathbb{N}$ into two parts with an unavoidable intersection property: for any finite coloring of $\mathbb{N}$, some color class intersects both parts infinitely many times, after…

We show that the Skolem Problem is decidable in finitely generated commutative rings of positive characteristic. More precisely, we show that there exists an algorithm which, given a finite presentation of a (unitary) commutative ring…

A particular case of the Hindman--Galvin--Glazer theorem states that, for every partition of an infinite abelian group $G$ into two cells, there will be an infinite $X\subseteq G$ such that the set of its finite sums…

Let $Q_n$ denote a random symmetric $n$ by $n$ matrix, whose upper diagonal entries are i.i.d. Bernoulli random variables (which take values 0 and 1 with probability 1/2). We prove that $Q_n$ is non-singular with probability…

We use an information-theoretic argument due to O'Connell (2000) to prove that every sufficiently symmetric event concerning a countably infinite family of independent and identically distributed random variables is deterministic (i.e., has…

We study the number of monochromatic solution to linear equation in $\{1,\dots,n\}$ when we color the set by at least three colors. We consider the $r$-commonness for $r\geq 3$ of linear equation with odd number of terms, and we also prove…
