We study the free part of the Bernoulli action of $\mathbb{Z}^n$ for $n\geq 2$ and the Borel combinatorics of the associated Schreier graphs. We construct orthogonal decompositions of the spaces into marker sets with various additional…

We show that for any infinite countable group $G$ and for any free Borel action $G \curvearrowright X$ there exists an equivariant class-bijective Borel map from $X$ to the free part $\mathrm{Free}(2^G)$ of the $2$-shift $G \curvearrowright…

In this work, we continue the tradition initiated by Geschke, 2011 of viewing the uncountable Borel chromatic number of analytic graphs as cardinal invariants of the continuum. We show that various uncountable Borel chromatic numbers of…

We show that there is no simple (e.g. finite or countable) basis for Borel graphs with infinite Borel chromatic number. In fact, it is proved that the closed subgraphs of the shift graph on $[\mathbb{N}]^{<\mathbb{N}}$ with finite (or,…

Let $X$ be a Polish space with Borel probability measure $\mu,$ and let $G$ be a Borel graph on $X$ with no odd cycles and maximum degree $\Delta(G).$ We show that the Baire measurable edge chromatic number of $G$ is at most $\Delta(G)+1$,…

In this paper we consider the Borel combinatorics of Schreier graphs of $\mathbb{Z}$-actions with arbitrary finite generating sets. We formulate the Borel combinatorics in terms of existence of Borel equivariant maps from…

We construct pairs of marked groups with isomorphic Cayley graphs but different Borel chromatic numbers for the free parts of their shift graphs. This answers a question of Kechris and Marks. We also show that these graphs have different…

An $(a:b)$-coloring of a graph $G$ is a function $f$ which maps the vertices of $G$ into $b$-element subsets of some set of size $a$ in such a way that $f(u)$ is disjoint from $f(v)$ for every two adjacent vertices $u$ and $v$ in $G$. The…

Let $G$ be any triangle-free graph with maximum degree $\Delta\leq 3$. Staton proved that the independence number of $G$ is at least 5/14n. Heckman and Thomas conjectured that Staton's result can be strengthened into a bound on the…

The fractional and circular chromatic numbers are the two most studied non-integral refinements of the chromatic number of a graph. Starting from the definition of a coloring base of a graph, which originated in work related to ergodic…

In this work we study the uncountable Borel chromatic numbers, defined by Geschke (2011) as cardinal characteristics of the continuum, of low complexity graphs. We show that a strong form of locally countable graphs with compact totally…

We show that if a locally finite Borel graph with quasitransitive amenable components admits a fractional perfect matching, it will admit a Borel fractional perfect matching. In particular, if a countable amenable quasitransitive graph…

We introduce a new method for computing bounds on the independence number and fractional chromatic number of classes of graphs with local constraints, and apply this method in various scenarios. We establish a formula that generates a…

We construct, for each countable ordinal $\xi$, a closed graph with Borel chromatic number two and Baire class $\xi$ chromatic number $\aleph\_0$.

A fractional colouring of a graph $G$ is a function that assigns a non-negative real value to all possible colour-classes of $G$ containing any vertex of $G$, such that the sum of these values is at least one for each vertex. The fractional…

The \textit{Distinguishing Chromatic Number} of a graph $G$, denoted $\chi_D(G)$, was first defined in \cite{collins} as the minimum number of colors needed to properly color $G$ such that no non-trivial automorphism $\phi$ of the graph $G$…

We construct Borel graphs which settle several questions in descriptive graph combinatorics. These include "Can the Baire measurable chromatic number of a locally finite Borel graph exceed the usual chromatic number by more than one?" and…

The dichromatic number of a graph $G$ is the maximum integer $k$ such that there exists an orientation of the edges of $G$ such that for every partition of the vertices into fewer than $k$ parts, at least one of the parts must contain a…

Let G be an abelian group of cardinality N, where (N,6) = 1, and let A be a random subset of G. Form a graph Gamma_A on vertex set G by joining x to y if and only if x + y is in A. Then, almost surely as N tends to infinity, the chromatic…

It is well known that for any integers $k$ and $g$, there is a graph with chromatic number at least $k$ and girth at least $g$. In 1960's, Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal conjectured that for any $k$ and $g$, there exists a number $h(k,g)$, such that…
