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,…

This paper deals with the minimum number $m_H(r)$ of edges in an $H$-free graph with the chromatic number more than $r$. We show how bounds on Ramsey and Tur\'an numbers imply bounds on $m_H(r)$.

We study rainbow-free colourings of $k$-uniform hypergraphs; that is, colourings that use $k$ colours but with the property that no hyperedge attains all colours. We show that $p^*=(k-1)(\ln n)/n$ is the threshold function for the existence…

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 prove a conjecture of Kim and Oum that every proper pivot-minor-closed class of graphs has the strong Erd\H{o}s-Hajnal property. More precisely, for every graph $H$, there exists $\epsilon > 0$ such that every $n$-vertex graph with no…

The Erdos-Hajnal conjecture states that if a graph on n vertices is H-free, that is, it does not contain an induced copy of a given graph H, then it must contain either a clique or an independent set of size n^{d(H)}, where d(H) > 0 depends…

The Erd\H{o}s-Hajnal conjecture is one of the most classical and well-known problems in extremal and structural combinatorics dating back to 1977. It asserts that in stark contrast to the case of a general $n$-vertex graph if one imposes…

A meta-conjecture of Coulson, Keevash, Perarnau and Yepremyan states that above the extremal threshold for a given spanning structure in a (hyper-)graph, one can find a rainbow version of that spanning structure in any suitably bounded…

In this short note we provide a relatively simple proof of the Erd\H{o}s-Hajnal conjecture for families of finite (hyper-)graphs without the $k$-order property. It was originally proved by M. Malliaris and S. Shelah in "Regularity lemmas…

For graphs $G$ and $H$, let $G {\displaystyle\smash{\begin{subarray}{c} \hbox{$\tiny\rm rb$} \\ \longrightarrow \\ \hbox{$\tiny\rm p$} \end{subarray}}}H$ denote the property that for every proper edge-colouring of $G$ there is a rainbow $H$…

Addressing a problem posed by Chellali, Haynes, and Hedetniemi (Discrete Appl. Math. 178 (2014) 27-32) we prove $\gamma_{r2}(G)\leq 2\gamma_r(G)$ for every graph $G$, where $\gamma_{r2}(G)$ and $\gamma_r(G)$ denote the $2$-rainbow…

We study the following rainbow version of subgraph containment problems in a family of (hyper)graphs, which generalizes the classical subgraph containment problems in a single host graph. For a collection $\textbf{G}=\{G_1, G_2,\ldots,…

Given integers $r \geq 2$, $k \geq 3$ and $2 \leq s \leq \binom{k}{2}$, and a graph $G$, we consider $r$-edge-colorings of $G$ with no copy of a complete graph $K_k$ on $k$ vertices where $s$ or more colors appear, which are called…

In 1964 Erd\H{o}s proved that $(1+\oh{1})) \frac{\eul \ln(2)}{4} k^2 2^{k}$ edges are sufficient to build a $k$-graph which is not two colorable. To this day, it is not known whether there exist such $k$-graphs with smaller number of edges.…

Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal conjectured that for every graph $H$, there exists $c>0$ such that every $H$-free graph $G$ has a clique or a stable set of size at least $|G|^c$ (a graph is $H$-free if it has no induced subgraph isomorphic to $H$).…

Fix $k\ge 11$ and a rainbow $k$-clique $R$. We prove that the inducibility of $R$ is $k!/(k^k-k)$. An extremal construction is a balanced recursive blow-up of $R$. This answers a question posed by Huang, that is a generalization of an old…

We design an $O(n^3)$ algorithm to find a minimum weighted coloring of a ($P_5, \bar{P}_5$)-free graph. Furthermore, the same technique can be used to solve the same problem for several classes of graphs, defined by forbidden induced…
