In the present paper, we prove the existence of universal polynomials which express multi-singularity loci classes of prescribed types for proper morphisms between smooth schemes over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero --…

A $1$-factorization of a graph $G$ is a collection of edge-disjoint perfect matchings whose union is $E(G)$. A trivial necessary condition for $G$ to admit a $1$-factorization is that $|V(G)|$ is even and $G$ is regular; the converse is…

In the $(G,H)$-isomorphism game, a verifier interacts with two non-communicating players (called provers) by privately sending each of them a random vertex from either $G$ or $H$, whose aim is to convince the verifier that two graphs $G$…

Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal proposed a problem that: is it true that every $(2n+1)$-vertex graph with $n^2+n+1$ edges contains two vertices of equal degree connected by a path of length three? The edge bound is sharp by the complete bipartite…

Many problems and conjectures in extremal combinatorics concern polynomial inequalities between homomorphism densities of graphs where we allow edges to have real weights. Using the theory of graph limits, we can equivalently evaluate…

Two graphs are homomorphism indistinguishable over a graph class $\mathcal{F}$, denoted by $G \equiv_{\mathcal{F}} H$, if $\operatorname{hom}(F,G) = \operatorname{hom}(F,H)$ for all $F \in \mathcal{F}$ where $\operatorname{hom}(F,G)$…

The Tur\'an number $\mathrm{ex}(n,H)$ of a graph $H$ is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph which does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. The Tur\'{a}n number of regular polyhedrons was widely studied in a series of works due to…

Given a graph G, we investigate the question of determining the parity of the number of homomorphisms from G to some other fixed graph H. We conjecture that this problem exhibits a complexity dichotomy, such that all parity graph…

For a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$, the Tur\'{a}n number $ex(n,\mathcal{F})$ is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph containing no member of $\mathcal{F}$ as a subgraph. The maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex connected…

We prove a conjecture of Kim and Oum that every proper pivot-minor-closed class of graphs has the strong Erd\H{o}s-Hajnal property. More precisely, for every graph $H$, there exists $\epsilon > 0$ such that every $n$-vertex graph with no…

There are many intriguing questions in extremal graph theory that are well-understood in the undirected setting and yet remain elusive for digraphs. A natural instance of such a problem was recently studied by Hons, Klimo\v{s}ov\'{a},…

We study the problem HomsTo$H$ of counting, modulo 2, the homomorphisms from an input graph to a fixed undirected graph $H$. A characteristic feature of modular counting is that cancellations make wider classes of instances tractable than…

The algebra of truncated polynomials A_m=Z[x]/(x^m) plays an important role in the theory of Khovanov and Khovanov-Rozansky homology of links. We have demonstrated that Hochschild homology is closely related to Khovanov homology via…

For a fixed graph $F$, let $ex_F(G)$ denote the size of the largest $F$-free subgraph of $G$. Computing or estimating $ex_F(G)$ for various pairs $F,G$ is one of the central problems in extremal combinatorics. It is thus natural to ask how…

The binding number $b(G)$ of a graph, introduced by Woodall [J. Combin. Theory, Ser. B, 1973], is a central topic of both structural and extremal graph theory. It is closely related to fundamental combinatorial and structural properties of…
