A conjecture of Erd\H{o}s, Gy\'arf\'as, and Pyber says that in any edge-colouring of a complete graph with r colours, it is possible to cover all the vertices with r vertex-disjoint monochromatic cycles. So far, this conjecture has been…

There is a sufficiently large $N\in h\mathbb{N}$ such that the following holds. If $G$ is a tripartite graph with $N$ vertices in each vertex class such that every vertex is adjacent to at least $2N/3+2h-1$ vertices in each of the other…

We prove a better coloring theorem for aleph_4 and even aleph_3. This has a general topology consequence.

We establish two versions of Vizing's theorem for Borel multi-graphs whose vertex degrees and edge multiplicities are uniformly bounded by respectively $\Delta$ and $\pi$. The ``approximate'' version states that, for any Borel probability…

We improve and extend to the non-orientable case a recent result of Karabas, Malicki and Nedela concerning the classification of all orientable prime 3-manifolds of Heegaard genus two, triangulated with at most 42 coloured tetrahedra.

Proving for triangulations an extended version of the 4-colour theorem by induction, we manage to exclude the case which led to the failure of Kempe's attempted proof. The new idea is to claim the existence of a "nice" 4-colouring, in which…

An edge-face colouring of a plane graph with edge set $E$ and face set $F$ is a colouring of the elements of $E \cup F$ such that adjacent or incident elements receive different colours. Borodin proved that every plane graph of maximum…

Given a coloration of the vertices of a triangulation of a manifold, we give homological conditions on the chromatic complexes under which it is possible to obtain a rainbow simplex

We conclude an investigation of Abrishami, Esperet, Giocanti, Hamman, Knappe and M\"oller studying the existence of periodic colourings of locally finite graphs. A colouring of a graph $\Gamma$ is periodic if the resulting coloured graph…

It is proved that if the points of the three-dimensional Euclidean space are coloured in red and blue, then there exist either two red points unit distance apart, or six collinear blue points with distance one between any two consecutive…

This is a treatise on finite point configurations spanning a fixed volume to be found in a single color-class of an arbitrary finite (measurable) coloring of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, or in a single large measurable subset…

We establish a best-possible minimum codegree condition for the existence of a perfect tiling of a $3$-uniform hypergraph $H$ with copies of the generalised triangle $T$, which is the 3-uniform hypergraph with five vertices $a, b, c, d, e$…

We show that for c >= 2.4682, a random graph on n vertices with c n (1+o(1)) edges almost surely has no 3-colouring. This improves on the current best upper bound of 2.4947.

A strong edge coloring of a graph is a proper edge coloring where the edges at distance at most two receive distinct colors. It is known that every planar graph with maximum degree D has a strong edge coloring with at most 4D + 4 colors. We…

A weighting of the edges of a hypergraph is called vertex-coloring if the weighted degrees of the vertices yield a proper coloring of the graph, i.e., every edge contains at least two vertices with different weighted degrees. In this paper…
