We study a class of determinant inequalities that are closely related to Sidorenko's famous conjecture (Also conjectured by Erd\H os and Simonovits in a different form). Our main result can also be interpreted as an entropy inequality for…

Sidorenko's Conjecture says that the minimum density of a bigraph $G$ in a bigraphon $W$ of a given edge density is attained when $W$ is a constant function. A consequence of a result by B. Szegedy is that it is enough to show Sidorenko's…

Ramsey's Theorem guarantees for every graph H that any 2-edge-coloring of a sufficiently large complete graph contains a monochromatic copy of H. In 1962, Erdos conjectured that the random 2-edge-coloring minimizes the number of…

We study a type of calculus for proving inequalities between subgraph densities which is based on Jensen's inequality for the logarithmic function. As a demonstration of the method we verify the conjecture of Erd\"os-Simonovits and…

We provide a very elementary proof of a classical extremality result due to Sidorenko (Discrete Math. 131.1-3, 1994), which states that among all connected graphs $G$ on $k$ vertices, the $k$-vertex star maximises the number of graph…

We provide an upper bound to the number of graph homomorphisms from $G$ to $H$, where $H$ is a fixed graph with certain properties, and $G$ varies over all $N$-vertex, $d$-regular graphs. This result generalizes a recently resolved…

We give a simple proof of a generalization of an inequality for homomorphism counts by Sidorenko (1994). A special case of our inequality says that if $d_v$ denotes the degree of a vertex $v$ in a graph $G$ and $\textrm{Hom}_\Delta(H, G)$…

In 1984, Erd\H{o}s and Simonovits conjectured the following: given a bipartite graph $H$, there exist constants $\beta, C > 0$ such that any graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and $pn^2\geq C \mathrm{ex}(n, H)$ edges contains at least $\beta…

Many important problems in extremal combinatorics can be be stated as proving a pure binomial inequality in graph homomorphism numbers, i.e., proving that…

We present a tight extremal threshold for the existence of Hamilton cycles in graphs with large minimum degree and without a large ``bipartite hole`` (two disjoint sets of vertices with no edges between them). This result extends Dirac's…

A famous conjecture of Tuza \cite{tuza} is that the minimal number of edges needed to cover all triangles in a graph is at most twice the maximal number of edge-disjoint triangles. We propose a wider setting for this conjecture. For a…

One of the cornerstones of extremal graph theory is a result of F\"uredi, later reproved and given due prominence by Alon, Krivelevich and Sudakov, saying that if $H$ is a bipartite graph with maximum degree $r$ on one side, then there is a…

Let $F$ be a graph which contains an edge whose deletion reduces its chromatic number. For such a graph $F,$ a classical result of Simonovits from 1966 shows that every graph on $n\ge n_0(F)$ vertices with more than…

A graph $G$ is said to be perfectly divisible if for every induced subgraph $H$ of $G$ with at least one edge, the vertex set $V(H)$ can be partitioned into two sets $A, B$ such that $H[A]$ is perfect and $\omega(B) < \omega(H)$. It is easy…

We develop a spectral approach to Sidorenko-type inequalities and apply it to establish sharp edge-spectral supersaturation results. Let $H$ be a bipartite graph with $v$ vertices and $e$ edges, where $v\le e$, and write $M(G)=2e(G)$. We…

Given a real $\mu\geq 1$, a graph $H$ is $\mu$-almost-regular if $\Delta(H)\leq \mu \delta(H)$. The celebrated regularization theorem of Erd\H{o}s and Simonovits states that for every real $0<\varepsilon<1$ there exists a real…
