Given a weighted graph, we introduce a partition of its vertex set such that the distance between any two clusters is bounded from below by a power of the minimum weight of both clusters. This partition is obtained by recursively merging…

The transversal number $\tau(H)$ of a hypergraph $H$ is the minimum number of vertices that intersect every edge of $H$. A linear hypergraph is one in which every two distinct edges intersect in at most one vertex. A $k$-uniform hypergraph…

Given a set of nonempty subsets of some universal set, their intersection graph is defined as the graph with one vertex for each set and two vertices are adjacent precisely when their representing sets have non-empty intersection. Sometimes…

Our main result is an extension of Pansu's theorem to random metrics, where the edges of the Cayley are i.i.d. random variable with some finite exponential moment. Based on a previous work by the second author, the proof relies on…

The $r$-color size-Ramsey number of a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$, denoted by $\hat{R}_r(H)$, is the minimum number of edges in a $k$-uniform hypergraph $G$ such that for every $r$-coloring of the edges of $G$ there exists a monochromatic…

Let a random geometric graph be defined in the supercritical regime for the existence of a unique infinite connected component in Euclidean space. Consider the first-passage percolation model with independent and identically distributed…

A simple graph more often than not contains adjacent vertices with equal degrees. This in particular holds for all pairs of neighbours in regular graphs, while a lot such pairs can be expected e.g. in many random models. Is there a…

Determining whether there exists a graph such that its crossing number and pair crossing number are distinct is an important open problem in geometric graph theory. We show that $\textit{cr}(G)=O(\mathop{\mathrm{pcr}}(G)^{3/2})$ for every…

For Bernoulli site percolation on an infinite, connected, locally finite graph $G=(V,E)$, we obtain quantitative upper bounds on the supercritical disconnection probability \[ \mathbb{P}_p(S\nleftrightarrow\infty) \] for arbitrary finite or…

We provide a doubly exponential upper bound in $p$ on the size of forbidden pivot-minors for symmetric or skew-symmetric matrices over a fixed finite field $\mathbb{F}$ of linear rank-width at most $p$. As a corollary, we obtain a doubly…

Recently, the author and Melentijevi\'c resolved the longstanding Gaussian curvature problem by proving the sharp inequality \[ |\mathcal{K}| < c_0 = \frac{\pi^2}{2} \] for minimal graphs over the unit disk, evaluated at the point of the…

Shalom and Tao showed that a polynomial upper bound on the size of a single, large enough ball in a Cayley graph implies that the underlying group has a nilpotent subgroup with index and degree of polynomial growth both bounded effectively.…

This paper proves limit theorems for the number of monochromatic edges in uniform random colorings of general random graphs. These can be seen as generalizations of the birthday problem (what is the chance that there are two friends with…

The decision problem of perfect matchings in uniform hypergraphs is famously an NP-complete problem. It has been shown by Keevash--Knox--Mycroft [STOC, 2013] that for every $\varepsilon>0$, such decision problem restricted to $k$-uniform…

As a generation of the classical percolation, clique percolation focuses on the connection of cliques in a graph, where the connection of two $k$-cliques means that they share at least $l<k$ vertices. In this paper, we develop a theoretical…

A graph {\it has cutwidth at most 2} if one can number its vertices by $1,\ldots n$ so that for every $i=1,\ldots,n-1$ there are at most 2 edges $(u,v)$ such that $u\le i<v$. A characterization of graphs having cutwidth at most 2 in terms…
