We show that for any integer $t \ge 2$, every properly edge colored $n$-vertex graph with average degree at least $(\log n)^{2+o(1)}$ contains a rainbow subdivision of a complete graph of size $t$. Note that this bound is within $(\log…

Let $K_{n}^{r}$ denote the complete $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices. A matching $M$ in a hypergraph is a set of pairwise vertex disjoint edges. Recent Ramsey-type results rely on lemmas about the size of monochromatic matchings. A…

Mantel's Theorem asserts that a simple $n$ vertex graph with more than $\frac{1}{4}n^2$ edges has a triangle (three mutually adjacent vertices). Here we consider a rainbow variant of this problem. We prove that whenever $G_1, G_2, G_3$ are…

In this paper, we prove the conjectures of Gharakhloo and Welker (2023) that the positive matching decomposition number (pmd) of a $3$-uniform hypergraph is bounded from above by a polynomial of degree $2$ in terms of the number of…

In this paper we show that for $r\geq 12$ and any sufficiently large $n$-vertex graph $G$ the number of $r$-edge-colorings of $G$ with no rainbow $K_4$ is at most $r^{ex(n,K_4)}$, where $ex(n,K_4)$ denotes the Tur\'{a}n number of $K_4$.…

Motivated by Ramsey theory problems, we consider edge-colorings of 3-uniform hypergraphs that contain no rainbow paths of length 3. There are three 3-uniform paths of length 3: the tight path $\mathcal{T}=\{v_1v_2v_3, v_2v_3v_4,…

The decision problem of perfect matchings in uniform hypergraphs is famously an NP-complete problem. It has been shown by Keevash--Knox--Mycroft [STOC, 2013] that for every $\varepsilon>0$, such decision problem restricted to $k$-uniform…

Let $f(n,p,q)$ be the minimum number of colors necessary to color the edges of $K_n$ so that every $K_p$ is at least $q$-colored. We improve current bounds on the {7/4}n-3$, slightly improving the bound of Axenovich. We make small…

Let $G = (V,E)$ be an $n$-vertex graph and let $c: E \to \mathbb{N}$ be a coloring of its edges. Let $d^c(v)$ be the number of distinct colors on the edges at $v \in V$ and let $\delta^c(G) = \min_{v \in V} \{ d^{c}(v) \}$. H. Li proved…

In an edge-colored graph $G$, a rainbow clique $K_k$ is a $k$-complete subgraph in which all the edges have distinct colors. Let $e(G)$ and $c(G)$ be the number of edges and colors in $G$, respectively. In this paper, we show that for any…

Given a graph $H$, we say that a graph $G$ is properly rainbow $H$-saturated if: (1) There is a proper edge colouring of $G$ containing no rainbow copy of $H$; (2) For every $e \notin E(G)$, every proper edge colouring of $G+e$ contains a…

Given two graphs $G$ and $H$, let $f(G,H)$ denote the maximum number $c$ for which there is a way to color the edges of $G$ with $c$ colors such that every subgraph $H$ of $G$ has at least two edges of the same color. Equivalently, any…

We show that for any integer $t\geq 2$, every properly edge-coloured graph on $n$ vertices with more than $n^{1+o(1)}$ edges contains a rainbow subdivision of $K_t$. Note that this bound on the number of edges is sharp up to the $o(1)$…

Given hypergraphs $F$ and $H$, an $F$-factor in $H$ is a set of vertex-disjoint copies of $F$ which cover all the vertices in $H$. Let $K^- _4$ denote the $3$-uniform hypergraph with $4$ vertices and $3$ edges. We show that for sufficiently…

We study the following problem. How many distinct copies of $H$ can an $n$-vertex graph $G$ have, if $G$ does not contain a rainbow $F$, that is, a copy of $F$ where each edge is contained in a different copy of $H$? The case $H=K_r$ is…

For $n\geq 3$, let $r=r(n)\geq 3$ be an integer. A hypergraph is $r$-uniform if each edge is a set of $r$ vertices, and is said to be linear if two edges intersect in at most one vertex. In this paper, the number of linear $r$-uniform…
