For graphs $G$ and $H$, let $G \overset{\mathrm{rb}}{{\longrightarrow}} H$ denote the property that for every proper edge colouring of $G$ there is a rainbow copy of $H$ in $G$. Extending a result of Nenadov, Person, \v{S}kori\'{c} and…

Considering a natural generalization of the Ruzsa-Szemer\'edi problem, we prove that for any fixed positive integers $r,s$ with $r<s$, there are graphs on $n$ vertices containing $n^{r}e^{-O(\sqrt{\log{n}})}=n^{r-o(1)}$ copies of $K_s$ such…

In this note we examine the following random graph model: for an arbitrary graph $H$, with quadratic many edges, construct a graph $G$ by randomly adding $m$ edges to $H$ and randomly coloring the edges of $G$ with $r$ colors. We show that…

A well-known consequence of Schur's theorem is that for $r\in \mathbb{N}$, if $n$ is sufficiently large, then any $r$-colouring of $[n]$ results in monochromatic $a,b,c\in [n]$ such that $ab=c$. In this paper we are interested in the…

The study of substructures in random objects has a long history, beginning with Erd\H{o}s and R\'enyi's work on subgraphs of random graphs. We study the existence of certain substructures in random subsets of vector spaces over finite…

A metric probability space $M$ admits thresholds if the random geometric graph on $M$ has a threshold for every monotone graph property. We connect the existence of thresholds to the uniform expansion of $M$ and prove that all standard…

We prove that every 3-coloring of the edges of the complete graph on n vertices without a rainbow triangle contains a set of order Omega(n^{1/3}log^2 n) which uses at most two colors, and this bound is tight up to a constant factor. This…

We formulate a geometric version of the Erd\H{o}s-Hajnal conjecture that applies to finite projective geometries rather than graphs, in both its usual 'induced' form and the multicoloured form. The multicoloured conjecture states, roughly,…

In this note, we adapt the Keevash-Sudakov proof of the (Tur\'{a}n) Stability Theorem for the Fano plane to find an explicit dependency between the parameters $\varepsilon$ and $\delta$. This is useful in the solution of a multicolored…

For two graphs, $G$ and $F$, and an integer $r\ge2$ we write $G\rightarrow (F)_r$ if every $r$-coloring of the edges of $G$ results in a monochromatic copy of $F$. In 1995, the first two authors established a threshold edge probability for…

We consider the chromatic number of the random Borsuk graph. The random Borsuk graph is obtained by sampling $n$ points i.i.d. uniformly at random on the $d$-dimensional sphere $S^d$, and joining a pair of points by an edge whenever their…

Let $h>w>0$ be two fixed integers. Let $\orH$ be a random hypergraph whose hyperedges are all of cardinality $h$. To {\em $w$-orient} a hyperedge, we assign exactly $w$ of its vertices positive signs with respect to the hyperedge, and the…

A subgraph $H$ of an edge-coloured graph is called rainbow if all of the edges of $H$ have different colours. In 1989, Andersen conjectured that every proper edge-colouring of $K_{n}$ admits a rainbow path of length $n-2$. We show that…

In this work, we study the color discrepancy of spanning trees in random graphs. We show that for the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $G(n,p)$ with $p$ above the connectivity threshold, the following holds with high probability: in every…

Consider any dense r-regular quasirandom bipartite graph H with parts of size n and fix a set of r colours. Let L be a random list assignment where each colour is available for each edge of H with probability p. We show that the threshold…

We establish sharpness for the threshold of van der Waerden's theorem in random subsets of $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$. More precisely, for $k\geq 3$ and $Z\subseteq \mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ we say $Z$ has the van der Waerden property if any…

In a properly edge colored graph, a subgraph using every color at most once is called rainbow. In this thesis, we study rainbow cycles and paths in proper edge colorings of complete graphs, and we prove that in every proper edge coloring of…

A celebrated result of R\"odl and Ruci\'nski states that for every graph $F$, which is not a forest of stars and paths of length $3$, and fixed number of colours $r\ge 2$ there exist positive constants $c, C$ such that for $p \leq…

An edge-coloured graph is said to be rainbow if no colour appears more than once. Extremal problems involving rainbow objects have been a focus of much research over the last decade as they capture the essence of a number of interesting…

When many colors appear in edge-colored graphs, it is only natural to expect rainbow subgraphs to appear. This anti-Ramsey problem has been studied thoroughly and yet there remain many gaps in the literature. Expanding upon classical and…
