We describe a method of building ``nice'' sigma-ideals from Souslin ccc forcing notions. [These notes were written down in 1992, but were not submitted to any journal. In a slightly modified form, they were incorporated to: T. Bartoszynski…

This is an account of the theory of JSJ decompositions of finitely generated groups, as developed in the last twenty years or so. We give a simple general definition of JSJ decompositions (or rather of their Bass-Serre trees), as maximal…

The celebrated result of Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy, and Szemer\'edi states that for any $\varepsilon>0$, there exists $0<c<1$, such that for all sufficiently large $n$, every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with $\delta(G)\geq(1/2+\varepsilon)n$ contains…

We show that for any fixed dense graph G and bounded-degree tree T on the same number of vertices, a modest random perturbation of G will typically contain a copy of T . This combines the viewpoints of the well-studied problems of embedding…

The tree share structure proposed by Dockins et al. is an elegant model for tracking disjoint ownership in concurrent separation logic, but decision procedures for tree shares are hard to implement due to a lack of a systematic theoretical…

We prove that for fixed $k$, every $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices and of minimum codegree at least $n/2+o(n)$ contains every spanning tight $k$-tree of bounded vertex degree as a sub\-graph. This generalises a well-known result of…

This paper continues the investigation of the three square-bracket operations $[\cdot\cdot]$ from chapter 5 of \cite{Walks}. \ We say that a square-bracket operation $[\cdot\cdot]$ has the \emph{Ramsey club property} if for every club…

We generalize Schwenk's result that almost all trees contain any given limb to trees with positive integer vertex weights. The concept of characteristic polynomial is extended to such weighted trees and we prove that the proportion of…

In this paper we invastigate the notion of generalized (I,J) - Luzin set. This notion generalize the standard notion of Luzin set and Sierpinski set. We find set theoretical conditions which imply the existence of generalized (I,J) - Luzin…

By a theorem of Suslin, a Tor-unital (not necessarily unital) ring satisfies excision in algebraic K-theory. We give a new and direct proof of Suslin's result based on an exact sequence of categories of perfect modules. In fact, we prove a…

We describe a simple criterion for showing that a group has Serre's property FA. By exhibiting a certain pattern of finite subgroups, we show that this criterion is satisfied by Aut(F_n) and SL(n,Z) when n>=3.

By the {\em Suslinian number} $\Sln(X)$ of a continuum $X$ we understand the smallest cardinal number $\kappa$ such that $X$ contains no disjoint family $\C$ of non-degenerate subcontinua of size $|\C|\ge\kappa$. For a compact space $X$,…

We show that for every homomorphism $\Gamma^+ \to S$ where $S$ is a finite semigroup there exists a factorization forest of height $\leq 3 \abs{S}$. The proof is based on Green's relations.

We study randomly growing trees governed by the affine preferential attachment rule. Starting with a seed tree $S$, vertices are attached one by one, each linked by an edge to a random vertex of the current tree, chosen with a probability…

Let $T\_n$ denote the set of unrooted labeled trees of size $n$ and let $T\_n$ be a particular (finite, unlabeled) tree. Assuming that every tree of $T\_n$ is equally likely, it is shown that the limiting distribution as $n$ goes to…

Let T be a tree with an action of a finitely generated group G. Given a suitable equivalence relation on the set of edge stabilizers of T (such as commensurability, co-elementarity in a relatively hyperbolic group, or commutation in a…

We study $S(\mathcal T_{n})$, the number of subtrees in a conditioned Galton--Watson tree of size $n$. With two very different methods, we show that $\log(S(\mathcal T_{n}))$ has a Central Limit Law and that the moments of $S(\mathcal…

Given a graph $H$, we prove that every (theta, prism)-free graph of sufficiently large treewidth contains either a large clique or an induced subgraph isomorphic to $H$, if and only if $H$ is a forest.

It is proved that if there is an $\aleph_2$-Aronszajn line, then there is one that does not contain an $\aleph_2$-Countryman line. This solves a problem of Moore and stands in a sharp contrast with his Basis Theorem for linear orders of…

Halin conjectured that a graph has a normal spanning tree if and only if every minor of it has countable colouring number. This has recently been proven by the second author. In this paper, we strengthen this result by establishing the…
