We prove a few simple cases of a random graph statement that would imply the "second" Kahn--Kalai Conjecture. Even these cases turn out to be reasonably challenging, and it is hoped that the ideas introduced here may lead to further…
The analogue of Hadwiger's conjecture for the immersion order states that every graph $G$ contains $K_{\chi (G)}$ as an immersion. If true, it would imply that every graph with $n$ vertices and independence number $\alpha$ contains…
A statistical network model with overlapping communities can be generated as a superposition of mutually independent random graphs of varying size. The model is parameterized by the number of nodes, the number of communities, and the joint…
We say that a hereditary graph class $\mathcal{G}$ is \emph{clique-sparse} if there is a constant $k=k(\mathcal{G})$ such that for every graph $G\in\mathcal{G}$, every vertex of $G$ belongs to at most $k$ maximal cliques, and any maximal…
Configurations are necklaces with prescribed numbers of red and black beads. Among all possible configurations, the regular one plays an important role in many applications. In this paper, several aspects of regular configurations are…
This paper gives a geometric interpretation of the generalized (including the regularization relation) double shuffle relation for multiple $L$-values. Precisely it is proved that Enriquez' mixed pentagon equation implies the relations. As…
The exchange graph of a cluster algebra encodes the combinatorics of mutations of clusters. Through the recent "categorifications" of cluster algebras using representation theory one obtains a whole variety of exchange graphs associated…
In the early 2000's the first and second named authors worked for a period of six years in an attempt of proving the Compositional Shuffle Conjecture [1]. Their approach was based on the discovery that all the Combinatorial properties…
We present a set of coupled continuum equationswith a specific coupling between mobile grains $\rho$ and clusters $h$ on the surface of a sandpile. The equations are analysed self-consistently; we demonstrate that Edwards' infrared…
We introduce the notion of a weighted inversion statistic on the symmetric group, and examine its distribution on each conjugacy class. Our work generalizes the study of several common permutation statistics, including the number of…
Using a characterization of Mutual Complete Dependence copulas, we show that, with respect to the Sobolev norm, the MCD copulas can be approximated arbitrarily closed by shuffles of Min. This result is then used to obtain a characterization…
The *somewhere-to-below shuffles* are the elements \[ t_{\ell} := \operatorname{cyc}_{\ell}+\operatorname{cyc}_{\ell,\ell+1}+\operatorname{cyc}_{\ell,\ell+1,\ell+2}+\cdots+\operatorname{cyc}_{\ell,\ell+1,\ldots,n} \] (for $\ell \in…
In 1985, Razborov discovered a proof that the monotone circuit complexity of the clique problem is super-polynomial. Alon and Boppana improved the result into exponential lower bound exp(\Omega(n / \log n)^{1/3})) of a monotone circuit C to…
We prove two conjectures in spectral extremal graph theory involving the linear combinations of graph eigenvalues. Let $\lambda_1(G)$ be the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a graph $G$, and $\bar{G}$ be the complement of $G$.…
We define the notion of an invariant function on a cluster ensemble with respect to an action of the cluster modular group on its associated function fields. We realize many examples of previously studied functions as elements of this type…
Recently in graph theory several authors have studied the spectrum of the Cayley graph of the symmetric group S_n generated by the transpositions (1, i) for 2 <= i <= n. Several conjectures were made and partial results were obtained. The…
In the theory of dense graph limits, a graphon is a symmetric measurable function $W:[0,1]^2\to [0,1]$. Each graphon gives rise naturally to a random graph distribution, denoted $\mathbb{G}(n,W)$, that can be viewed as a generalization of…
We review the recent proof of the N.Takahashi's conjecture on genus $0$ Gromov-Witten invariants of $(\mathbb{P}^2, E)$, where $E$ is a smooth cubic curve in the complex projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2$. The main idea is the use of the…
The crossword-like patterns of tiles in Scrabble form connected graphs of occupied sites on a square lattice. We find the most structureless description that reproduces means and covariances observed in real Scrabble games by adapting a…
A few steps are made towards representation theory of embeddability among uncountable graphs. A monotone class of graphs is defined by forbidding countable subgraphs, related to the graph's end-structure. Using a combinatorial theorem of…
