In this paper, we study the problem of determining the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex $r$-uniform hypergraph that contains no $(k+1)$-connected subgraph. The graph case is a classical problem initiated by Mader, central to graph…

We prove that any $n$-vertex graph whose complement is triangle-free contains $n^2/12-o(n^2)$ edge-disjoint triangles. This is tight for the disjoint union of two cliques of order $n/2$. We also prove a corresponding stability theorem, that…

We provide two novel constructions of $r$ edge-disjoint $K_{k+1}$-free graphs on the same vertex set, each of which has the property that every small induced subgraph contains a complete graph on $k$ vertices. The main novelty of our…

The celebrated Hadwiger's conjecture states that if a graph contains no $K_{t+1}$ minor then it is $t$-colourable. If true, it would in particular imply that every $n$-vertex $K_{t+1}$-minor-free graph has an independent set of size at…

An $r$-uniform tight cycle of length $\ell>r$ is a hypergraph with vertices $v_1,\dots,v_\ell$ and edges $\{v_i,v_{i+1},\dots,v_{i+r-1}\}$ (for all $i$), with the indices taken modulo $\ell$. It was shown by Sudakov and Tomon that for each…

We solve four similar problems: For every fixed $s$ and large $n$, we describe all values of $n_1,\ldots,n_s$ such that for every $2$-edge-coloring of the complete $s$-partite graph $K_{n_1,\ldots,n_s}$ there exists a monochromatic (i)…

Let $F_1$ and $F_2$ be two disjoint graphs. The union $F_1\cup F_2$ is a graph with vertex set $V(F_1)\cup V(F_2)$ and edge set $E(F_1)\cup E(F_2)$, and the join $F_1+F_2$ is a graph with vertex set $V(F_1)\cup V(F_2)$ and edge set…

Let $ t\ge s\ge2$ be integers. Confirming a conjecture of Mader, Liu and Montgomery [J. Lond. Math. Soc., 2017] showed that every $K_{s, t}$-free graph with average degree $d$ contains a subdivision of a clique with at least…

Extending the notion of (random) $k$-out graphs, we consider when the $k$-out hypergraph is likely to have a perfect fractional matching. In particular, we show that for each $r$ there is a $k=k(r)$ such that the $k$-out $r$-uniform…

In 1975, Erd\H{o}s and Sauer asked to estimate, for any constant $r$, the maximum number of edges an $n$-vertex graph can have without containing an $r$-regular subgraph. In a recent breakthrough, Janzer and Sudakov proved that any…

The $kK_{r+1}$ is the union of $k$ disjoint copies of $(r+1)$-clique. Moon [Canad. J. Math. 20 (1968) 95--102] and Simonovits [Theory of Graphs (Proc. colloq., Tihany, 1996)] independently showed that if $n$ is sufficiently large, then…

Addressing a question posed by Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal, Chen and Ma proved that, for all $n \ge 600$, the complete bipartite graph $K_{n,n+1}$ is the unique graph on $2n+1$ vertices with at least $n^2+n$ edges that contains no two vertices of…

In 1967, Erd\H{o}s asked for the greatest chromatic number, $f(n)$, amongst all $n$-vertex, triangle-free graphs. An observation of Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal together with Shearer's classical upper bound for the off-diagonal Ramsey number $R(3,…

An $r$-uniform linear cycle of length $\ell$, denoted by $C^r_{\ell}$, is an $r$-graph with $\ell$ edges $e_1,e_2,\dots,e_{\ell}$ where $e_i=\{v_{(r-1)(i-1)},v_{(r-1)(i-1)+1},\dots,v_{(r-1)i}\}$ (here $v_0=v_{(r-1)\ell}$). For $0<\delta<1$…

For a graph family $\mathcal F$, let $\mathrm{ex}(n,\mathcal F)$ and $\mathrm{spex}(n,\mathcal F)$ denote the maximum number of edges and maximum spectral radius of an $n$-vertex $\mathcal F$-free graph, respectively, and let…

A well-known result of Mantel asserts that every $n$-vertex triangle-free graph $G$ has at most $\lfloor n^2/4 \rfloor$ edges. Moreover, Erd\H{o}s proved that if $G$ is further non-bipartite, then $e(G)\le \lfloor {(n-1)^2}/{4}\rfloor +1$.…

We prove that for every integer $r\geq 2$, an $n$-vertex $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ containing no $r$-regular subgraphs has at most $(1+o(1)){{n-1}\choose{k-1}}$ edges if $k\geq r+1$ and $n$ is sufficiently large. Moreover, if…

More than thirty years ago, Erd\H{o}s, Faudree, Rousseau, and Schelp posed a fundamental question in extremal graph theory: What is the optimal constant $c_k$ such that $r(C_{2k+1}, G) \le c_k m$ for any graph $G$ with $m$ edges and no…

Given graphs $H$ and $F$, $\mathrm{ex}(n,H,F)$ denotes the largest number of copies of $H$ in $F$-free $n$-vertex graphs. Let $\chi(H)<\chi(F)=r+1$. We say that $H$ is $F$-Tur\'an-stable if the following holds. For any $\varepsilon>0$ there…

We study the weak $K_s$-saturation number of the Erd\H{o}s--R\'{e}nyi random graph $\mathbbmsl{G}(n, p)$, denoted by $\mathrm{wsat}(\mathbbmsl{G}(n, p), K_s)$, where $K_s$ is the complete graph on $s$ vertices. Kor\'{a}ndi and Sudakov in…
