This introduction to graphs and graph algebras provides the optimal bound for the number of all paths of length $k$ in a graph with $N\geq k$ edges and no loops. Our proof relies on a construction of a number of terminating algorithms that…

We give new decomposition theorems for classes of graphs that can be transduced in first-order logic from classes of sparse graphs -- more precisely, from classes of bounded expansion and from nowhere dense classes. In both cases, the…

A graph is $\mathcal{O}_k$-free if it does not contain $k$ pairwise vertex-disjoint and non-adjacent cycles. We prove that "sparse" (here, not containing large complete bipartite graphs as subgraphs) $\mathcal{O}_k$-free graphs have…

R\"odl and Ruci\'nski (1990) established Ramsey's theorem for random graphs. In particular, for fixed integers $r$, $\ell\geq 2$ they showed that $\hat p_{K_\ell,r}(n)=n^{-\frac{2}{\ell+1}}$ is a threshold for the Ramsey property that every…

A dichotomy discovered by Solecki says that a Baire class 1 function from a Souslin space into a Polish space either can be decomposed into countably many continuous functions, or else contains one particular function which cannot be so…

For a graph $G$, its $k$-th graph power $G^k$ is constructed by placing an edge between two vertices if they are within distance $k$. We consider the problem of deriving upper bounds on the Shannon capacity of graph powers by using spectral…

Zykov's theorem shows that $r$-partite Tur\'{a}n graph uniquely has the maximum number of $K_t$ among all $n$-vertex $K_{r+1}$-free graphs for $2\le t\le r$. The clique tensor is a high-order extension of the adjacency matrix of a graph. Yu…

We introduce a notion of complexity for systems of linear forms, called sequential Cauchy-Schwarz complexity, which is parametrized by two positive integers $k,\ell$ and refines the notion of Cauchy-Schwarz complexity introduced by Green…

We obtain polylogarithmic bounds in the polynomial Szemer\'{e}di theorem when the polynomials have distinct degrees and zero constant terms. Specifically, let $P_1, \dots, P_m \in \mathbb Z[y]$ be polynomials with distinct degrees, each…

Let ${\mathcal O}$ be the ring of $S$-integers in a number field $K$. For $A\in\rm{SL}_{2}(\mathcal{O})$ and $k\geq 1$, we define matrix-factorization varieties $V_k(A)$ over ${\mathcal O}$ which parametrize factoring $A$ into a product of…

Given a finite nonempty set of primes S, we build a graph $\mathcal{G}$ with vertex set $\mathbb{Q}$ by connecting x and y if the prime divisors of both the numerator and denominator of x-y are from S. In this paper we resolve two…

Let $k \geq 2$ be an integer and $\mathbb F_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements. We prove several results on the distribution in short intervals of polynomials in $\mathbb F_q[x]$ that are not divisible by the $k$th power of any…

The $2$-layer drawing model is a well-established paradigm to visualize bipartite graphs. Several beyond-planar graph classes have been studied under this model. Surprisingly, however, the fundamental class of $k$-planar graphs has been…

Linear rank-width is a graph width parameter, which is a variation of rank-width by restricting its tree to a caterpillar. As a corollary of known theorems, for each $k$, there is a finite obstruction set $\mathcal{O}_k$ of graphs such that…

In 2001, Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi proved that, for each $\alpha>0$, there is some $c>0$ and $n_0$ such that, if $n\geq n_0$, then every $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $(1/2+\alpha)n$ contains a copy of every…
