Admissibility has been studied for games of infinite duration with Boolean objectives. We extend here this study to games of infinite duration with quantitative objectives. First, we show that, un- der the assumption that optimal worst-case…

Analogues of Ramsey's Theorem for infinite structures such as the rationals or the Rado graph have been known for some time. In this context, one looks for optimal bounds, called degrees, for the number of colors in an isomorphic…

We give an almost complete characterization of the hardness of $c$-coloring $\chi$-chromatic graphs with distributed algorithms, for a wide range of models of distributed computing. In particular, we show that these problems do not admit…

Given a $k$-graph $\Lambda$ and an element $p$ of $\NN^k$, we define the dual $k$-graph, $p\Lambda$. We show that when $\Lambda$ is row-finite and has no sources, the $C^*$-algebras $C^*(\Lambda)$ and $C^*(p\Lambda)$ coincide. We use this…

In the graph avoidance game two players alternatingly color edges of a graph G in red and in blue respectively. The player who first creates a monochromatic subgraph isomorphic to a forbidden graph F loses. A symmetric strategy of the…

A matching in a graph is uniquely restricted if no other matching covers exactly the same set of vertices. This notion was defined by Golumbic, Hirst, and Lewenstein and studied in a number of articles. Our contribution is twofold. We…

Given a set B of finite rooted graphs and a radius r as an input, we prove that it is undecidable to determine whether there exists a sequence (G_i) of finite bounded degree graphs such that the rooted r-radius neighbourhood of a random…

In [1] M. Baker and S. Norine developed a theory of divisors and linear systems on graphs, and proved a Riemann-Roch Theorem for these objects (conceived as integer-valued functions on the vertices). In [2] and [3] the authors generalized…

On every set A there is a rigid binary relation, i.e. such a relation R that there is no homomorphism (A,R)->(A,R) except the identity (Vopenka et al. [1965]). We state two conjectures which strengthen this theorem. We prove these…

For finite graphs $G$ and $H$, let $\RR(G,H)$ denote the isomorphism classes of Ramsey-minimal graphs for $(G,H)$. We prove two 1981 conjectures of Burr, Erd\H{o}s, Faudree, Rousseau, and Schelp: Ramsey-finiteness is preserved by adjoining…

Any finite group can be encoded as the automorphism group of an unlabeled simple graph. Recently Hartke, Kolb, Nishikawa, and Stolee (2010) demonstrated a construction that allows any ordered pair of finite groups to be represented as the…

The purpose of this article is to show that even the most elementary problems in asymptotic extremal graph theory can be highly non-trivial. We study linear inequalities between graph homomorphism densities. In the language of quantum…

A relational structure $\mathrm{R}$ is {\em rainbow Ramsey} if for every finite induced substructure $\mathrm{C}$ of $\mathrm{R}$ and every colouring of the copies of $\mathrm{C}$ with countably many colours, such that each colour is used…

Given two structures $\mathcal{M}$ and $\mathcal{N}$ on the same domain, we say that $\mathcal{N}$ is a reduct of $\mathcal{M}$ if all $\emptyset$-definable relations of $\mathcal{N}$ are $\emptyset$-definable in $\mathcal{M}$. In this…

We study a variation of the graph colouring problem on random graphs of finite average connectivity. Given the number of colours, we aim to maximise the number of different colours at neighbouring vertices (i.e. one edge distance) of any…

An infinite graph is said to be highly connected if the induced subgraph on the complement of any set of vertices of smaller size is connected. We continue the study of weaker versions of Ramsey Theorem on uncountable cardinals asserting…

In contrast to the abundance of "direct" Ramsey results for classes of finite structures (such as finite ordered graphs, finite ordered metric spaces and finite posets with a linear extension), in only a handful of cases we have a…

We consider pairs of finitely presented, residually finite groups $u:P\hookrightarrow \Gamma$. We prove that there is no algorithm that, given an arbitrary such pair, can determine whether or not the associated map of profinite completions…

We show that for two afii varieties over an arbitrary field of characteristic zero, there is no general form of an algorithm for checking the presence of an embedding of one algebraic variety in another. Moreover, we establish this for…

Let $c_1, c_2, \cdots, c_k$ be $k$ non-negative integers. A graph $G$ is $(c_1, c_2, \cdots, c_k)$-colorable if the vertex set can be partitioned into $k$ sets $V_1,V_2, \ldots, V_k$, such that the subgraph $G[V_i]$, induced by $V_i$, has…
