Let $n>2r>0$ be integers. We consider families $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of an $n$-element set, in which the union of any two members has size at most $2r$. One of our results states that for $n\geq 6r$ the number of members of size…

Given a graph $G$, the family of all independent sets of size $k$ containing a fixed vertex $v$ is called a star with centre $v$, and is denoted by $\mathcal{I}_G^k(v)$. Motivated by a generalisation of the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado Theorem to the…

One of the key unsolved conjectures in hypergraph coloring is about the chromatic number of $s$-stable $r$-uniform Kneser hypergraphs $\mathrm{KG}^r(n,k)_{s\textup{-stab}}$. The problem remains largely open, particularly in the case where…

An edge colored graph is said to contain rainbow-$F$ if $F$ is a subgraph and every edge receives a different color. In 2007, Keevash, Mubayi, Sudakov, and Verstra\"ete introduced the \emph{rainbow extremal number} $\mathrm{ex}^*(n,F)$, a…

Let G be a graph with vertices V and edges E. Let F be the union-closed family of sets generated by E. Then F is the family of subsets of V without isolated points. Theorem: There is an edge e belongs to E such that |{U belongs to F | e…

More than 50 years ago, Erd\H os asked the following question: what is the maximum size of a family $\mathcal F$ of $k$-element subsets of an $n$-element set if it has no $s+1$ pairwise disjoint sets? This question attracted a lot of…

The celebrated {Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado} Theorem states that for $n \geq 2k$ a family $\mathscr{F}$ of $k$ subsets of $[n]$ for which each pair of members of $\mathscr{F}$ have a non-empty intersection has size at most $\binom{n-1}{k-1}$ and for…

The flower at a point x in a Steiner triple system (X; B) is the set of all triples containing x. Denote by J3F(r) the set of all integers k such that there exists a collection of three STS(2r+1) mutually intersecting in the same set of k +…

The Big-Line-Big-Clique Conjecture of Kara, Por and Wood asserts that, for every fixed $k$ and $\ell$, every sufficiently large finite planar point set contains either $k$ collinear points or $\ell$ pairwise visible points. We prove a…

For $0 \leq s \leq 1$ and $0 \leq t \leq 3$, a set $F \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ is called a circular $(s,t)$-Furstenberg set if there exists a family of circles $\mathcal{S}$ of Hausdorff dimension $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} \mathcal{S} \geq t$ such…

A family $\{A_{0},\ldots,A_{d}\}$ of $k$-element subsets of $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ is called a simplex-cluster if $A_{0}\cap\cdots\cap A_{d}=\varnothing$, $|A_{0}\cup\cdots\cup A_{d}|\le2k$, and the intersection of any $d$ of the sets in…

For all $d$ belonging to a density-$1/8$ subset of the natural numbers, we give an example of a square-tiled surface conjecturally realizing the group $\mathrm{SO}^*(2d)$ in its standard representation as the Zariski-closure of a factor of…

A famous conjecture of Caccetta and H\"aggkvist is that in a digraph on $n$ vertices and minimum out-degree at least $\frac{n}{r}$ there is a directed cycle of length $r$ or less. We consider the following generalization: in an undirected…

We prove that every 3-coloring of the edges of the complete graph on n vertices without a rainbow triangle contains a set of order Omega(n^{1/3}log^2 n) which uses at most two colors, and this bound is tight up to a constant factor. This…

A celebrated conjecture of Sidorenko and Erd\H{o}s-Simonovits states that, for all bipartite graphs $H$, quasirandom graphs contain asymptotically the minimum number of copies of $H$ taken over all graphs with the same order and edge…

A $K_r$-factor of a graph $G$ is a collection of vertex-disjoint $r$-cliques covering $V(G)$. We prove the following algorithmic version of the classical Hajnal--Szemer\'edi Theorem in graph theory, when $r$ is considered as a constant.…

We consider the following generalization of the seminal Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem, due to Frankl. For k>= 2, let F be a k-wise intersecting family of r-subsets of an n element set X, i.e. any k sets in F have a nonempty intersection. If r<=…

Root systems are sets with remarkable symmetries and therefore they appear in many situations in mathematics. Among others, denominator formulae of root systems are very beautiful and mysterious equations which have several meanings from a…

The Erd\H{o}s-S\'os Conjecture states that every graph with average degree exceeding $k-1$ contains every tree with $k$ edges as a subgraph. We prove that there are $\delta>0$ and $k_0\in\mathbb N$ such that the conjecture holds for every…

Let $C_t$ be a cycle of length $t$, and let $P_1,\ldots,P_t$ be $t$ polygon chains. A polygon flower $F=(C_t; P_1,\ldots,P_t)$ is a graph obtained by identifying the $i$th edge of $C_t$ with an edge $e_i$ that belongs to an end-polygon of…
