An equivalent directed version of the celebrated unresolved conjecture of Erdos and Hajnal proposed by Alon et al. states that for every tournament H there exists epsilon(H) > 0 such that every H-free n-vertex tournament T contains a…

A conjecture of Alon, Pach and Solymosi, which is equivalent to the celebrated Erd\H{o}s-Hajnal Conjecture, states that for every tournament $S$ there exists $\epsilon(S)>0$ such that if $T$ is an $n$-vertex tournament that does not…

In this paper we investigate the bipartite analogue of the strong Erdos-Hajnal property. We prove that for every forest $H$ and every $\tau>0$ there exists $\epsilon>0$, such that if $G$ has a bipartition $(A,B)$ and does not contain $H$ as…

We prove that there exists $C>0$ such that $\epsilon(H) \geq \frac{C}{|H|^{5}\log(|H|)}$, where $\epsilon(H)$ is the Erd\H{o}s-Hajnal coefficient of the tournament $H$, for every prime tournament $H$ for which the celebrated…

In this thesis we prove a variety of theorems on tournaments. A \emph{prime} tournament is a tournament $G$ such that there is no $X \subseteq V(G)$, $1 < |X| < |V(G)|$, such that for every vertex $v \in V(G) \minus X$, either $v \ra x$ for…

For a tournament $H$ with $h$ vertices, its typical density is $h!2^{-\binom{h}{2}}/aut(H)$, i.e. this is the expected density of $H$ in a random tournament. A family ${\mathcal F}$ of $h$-vertex tournaments is {\em dominant} if for all…

The Erdos-Hajnal conjecture says that for every graph $H$ there exists $c>0$ such that $\max(\alpha(G),\omega(G))\ge n^c$ for every $H$-free graph $G$ with $n$ vertices, and this is still open when $H=C_5$. Until now the best bound known on…

The Erdos-Hajnal conjecture says that for every graph H there exists c>0 such that every graph G not containing H as an induced subgraph has a clique or stable set of cardinality at least |G|^c. We prove that this is true when H is a cycle…

As a directed analog of Sidorenko's conjecture in extremal graph theory, Fox, Himwich, Zhou, and the second author defined an oriented graph $H$ to be tournament Sidorenko (anti-Sidorenko) if the random tournament asymptotically minimizes…

Sumner's universal tournament conjecture states that every $(2n-2)$-vertex tournament should contain a copy of every $n$-vertex oriented tree. If we know the number of leaves of an oriented tree, or its maximum degree, can we guarantee a…

An oriented tree $T$ on $n$ vertices is unavoidable if every tournament on $n$ vertices contains a copy of $T$. In this paper we give a sufficient condition for $T$ to be unavoidable, and use this to prove that almost all labelled oriented…
