In this paper, we explore chromatic numbers subject to various local modular constraints. For fixed $n$, we consider proper integer colorings of a graph $G$ for which the closed and open neighborhood sums have nonzero remainders modulo $n$…
Let $\text{ch}(G)$ denote the choice number of a graph $G$ (also called "list chromatic number" or "choosability" of $G$). Noel, Reed, and Wu proved the conjecture of Ohba that $\text{ch}(G)=\chi(G)$ when $|V(G)|\le 2\chi(G)+1$. We extend…
We introduce the asymptotic spectrum of graphs and apply the theory of asymptotic spectra of Strassen (J. Reine Angew. Math. 1988) to obtain a new dual characterisation of the Shannon capacity of graphs. Elements in the asymptotic spectrum…
In this note, an upper bound for the sum of fractional parts of certain smooth functions is established. Such sums arise naturally in numerous problems of analytic number theory. The main feature is here an improvement of the main term due…
The acyclic chromatic number of a graph is the least number of colors needed to properly color its vertices so that none of its cycles has only two colors. We show that for all $\alpha>2^{-1/3}$ there exists an integer $\Delta_{\alpha}$…
In this article, we establish precise lower bounds for the eigenvalues and critical values associated with the fractional $A-$Laplacian operator, where $A$ is a Young function. The obtained bounds are expressed in terms of the domain…
We prove that a formula predicted on the basis of non-rigorous physics arguments [Zdeborova and Krzakala: Phys. Rev. E (2007)] provides a lower bound on the chromatic number of sparse random graphs. The proof is based on the interpolation…
This paper addresses the behavior of the Lov\'asz number for dense random circulant graphs. The Lov\'asz number is a well-known semidefinite programming upper bound on the independence number. Circulant graphs, an example of a Cayley graph,…
We obtain new bounds on some trilinear and quadrilinear character sums, which are non-trivial starting from very short ranges of the variables. An application to an apparently new problem on oscillations of characters on differences between…
In this paper, we investigate the size of moments of quadratic character sums averaged over the family of fundamental discriminants. We obtain an asymptotic formula for all integer moments in a restricted range of parameters using a…
Given a graph $G$ possibly with multiple edges but no loops, denote by $\Delta$ the {\it maximum degree}, $\mu$ the {\it multiplicity}, $\chi'$ the {\it chromatic index} and $\chi_f'$ the {\it fractional chromatic index} of $G$,…
We define the chromatic measure of a finite simple graph as the uniform distribution on its chromatic roots. We show that for a Benjamini-Schramm convergent sequence of finite graphs, the chromatic measures converge in holomorphic moments.…
We establish a lower bound and an upper bound to the sum of the Fractional-Logarithmic Laplacian. A main challenge in such a study comes from the fact that this operator has a Fourier symbol that is not globally monotone in its radial…
The theta body of a graph, introduced by Gr\"otschel, Lov\'asz, and Schrijver in 1986, is a tractable relaxation of the independent-set polytope derived from the Lov\'asz theta number. In this paper, we recursively extend the theta body,…
We consider the Erd{\H{o}}s - Faber - Lov\'{a}sz (EFL) conjecture for hypergraphs. This paper gives an upper bound for the chromatic number of $r$ regular linear hypergraphs $\textbf{H}$ of size $n$. If $r \ge 4$, $\chi (\textbf{H}) \le…
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,…
In this paper we find chromatic numbers of distance graphs $G(n,3,2)$ for infinitely many n. Also we improve upper bound for $\chi(G(n,r,s))$ in large part of cases.
We extend upper bounds on the quantum independence number and the quantum Shannon capacity of graphs to their counterparts in the commuting operator model. We introduce a von Neumann algebraic generalization of the fractional Haemers bound…
The well known fractional Helly theorem and colorful Helly theorem can be merged into the so called colorful fractional Helly theorem. It states: For every $\alpha \in (0, 1]$ and every non-negative integer $d$, there is $\beta_{col} =…
