A relational structure is (connected-)homogeneous if every isomorphism between finite (connected) substructures extends to an automorphism of the structure. We investigate notions which generalise (connected-)homogeneity, where…

We prove that for every oriented graph $D$ and every choice of positive integers $k$ and $\ell$, there exists an oriented graph $D^*$ along with a surjective homomorphism $\psi\colon V(D^*) \to V(D)$ such that: (i) girth$(D^*) \geq\ell$;…

We show that the independence number of a countably infinite HH-homogeneous graph that does not contain the Rado graph as a spanning subgraph is finite and present a classification of MB-homogeneous graphs up to bimorphism-equivalence as a…

We consider unavoidable chromatic patterns in $2$-colorings of the edges of the complete graph. Several such problems are explored being a junction point between Ramsey theory, extremal graph theory (Tur\'an type problems), zero-sum Ramsey…

A mixed graph $G$ is a graph obtained from a simple undirected graph by orientating a subset of edges. $G$ is self-converse if it is isomorphic to the graph obtained from $G$ by reversing each directed edge. For two mixed graphs $G$ and $H$…

Given connected graph $H$ which is not a star, we show that the number of copies of $H$ in a dense uniformly random regular graph is asymptotically Gaussian, which was not known even for $H$ being a triangle. This addresses a question of…

We study the problems of counting copies and induced copies of a small pattern graph $H$ in a large host graph $G$. Recent work fully classified the complexity of those problems according to structural restrictions on the patterns $H$. In…

The Graded Classification Conjecture (GCC) states that the pointed $K_0^{\operatorname{gr}}$-group is a complete invariant of the Leavitt path algebras of finite graphs when these algebras are considered with their natural grading by…

The distance ideals of graphs are algebraic invariants that generalize the Smith normal form (SNF) and the spectrum of several distance matrices associated with a graph. In general, distance ideals are not monotone under taking induced…

We proved that for any finite collection of sparse subgraphs $(D_m)_{m=1}^\ell$ of the complete graph $K_{2n}$, and a uniformly chosen perfect matching $R$ in $K_{2n}$, the random vector $(|E(R \cap D_m)|)_{m=1}^\ell$ jointly converges to a…

We study the coloring problem: Given a graph G, decide whether $c(G) \leq q$ or $c(G) \ge Q$, where c(G) is the chromatic number of G. We derive conditional hardness for this problem for any constant $3 \le q < Q$. For $q\ge 4$, our result…

A graph $G$ admits an $H$-tiling if it contains a collection of vertex-disjoint copies of $H$. In this paper, we confirm a conjecture proposed by K\"{u}hn, Osthus, and Treglown by showing that for any given graph $H$, there exists a…

We study the existence of directed Hamilton cycles in random digraphs with $m$ edges where we condition on minimum in- and out-degree $\d \ge k+1$, where $k \ge 1$. Denote such a random graph by $D_{n,m}^{(\delta\geq k+1)}$. Let $m=cn$ and…

We say that a graph $G$ has a perfect $H$-packing if there exists a set of vertex-disjoint copies of $H$ which cover all the vertices in $G$. The seminal Hajnal--Szemer\'edi theorem characterises the minimum degree that ensures a graph $G$…
