For the critical level-set of the Gaussian free field on the metric graph of $\mathbb Z^d$, we consider the one-arm probability $\theta_d(N)$, i.e., the probability that the boundary of a box of side length $2N$ is connected to the center.…

Let $A$ and $B$ be local operators in Hamiltonian quantum systems with $N $ degrees of freedom and finite-dimensional Hilbert space. We prove that the commutator norm $\lVert [A(t),B]\rVert$ is upper bounded by a topological combinatorial…

We study the random composition of a small family of O(n^3) simple permutations on {0,1}^n. Specifically we ask how many randomly selected simple permutations need be composed to yield a permutation that is close to k-wise independent. We…

In this note, we prove that every even regular multigraph on $n$ vertices with multiplicity at most $r$ and minimum degree at least $rn/2 + o(n)$ has a Hamilton decomposition. This generalises a result of Vaughan who proved an asymptotic…

A graph is Hamiltonian if it contains a cycle which passes through every vertex of the graph exactly once. A classical theorem of Dirac from 1952 asserts that every graph on $n$ vertices with minimum degree at least $n/2$ is Hamiltonian. We…

A permutation $\boldsymbol w$ gives rise to a graph $G_{\boldsymbol w}$; the vertices of $G_{\boldsymbol w}$ are the letters in the permutation and the edges of $G_{\boldsymbol w}$ are the inversions of $\boldsymbol w$. We find that the…

We consider first passage percolation on sparse random graphs with prescribed degree distributions and general independent and identically distributed edge weights assumed to have a density. Assuming that the degree distribution satisfies a…

Let $G$ be an $n$-vertex graph with Laplacian eigenvalues $0=\lambda_1(G)\le \lambda_2(G)\le\cdots\le \lambda_n(G)$. Motivated by the Alon-Boppana bound and the Ramanujan phenomenon for regular graphs, Spielman conjectured that, for every…

The modularity of a graph is a parameter that measures its community structure; the higher its value (between $0$ and $1$), the more clustered the graph is. In this paper we show that the modularity of a random $3$-regular graph is at least…

We study the largest component of a random (multi)graph on n vertices with a given degree sequence. We let n tend to infinity. Then, under some regularity conditions on the degree sequences, we give conditions on the asymptotic shape of the…

Recently, variants of many classical extremal theorems have been proved in the random environment. We, complementing existing results, extend the Erd\H{o}s-Gallai Theorem in random graphs. In particular, we determine, up to a constant…

In this short note, we prove the conjecture of Benjamini, Shinkar, and Tsur on the acquaintance time $AC(G)$ of a random graph $G \in G(n,p)$. It is shown that asymptotically almost surely $AC(G) = O(\log n / p)$ for $G \in G(n,p)$,…

A set of vertices in a graph is a Hamiltonian subset if it induces a subgraph containing a Hamiltonian cycle. Kim, Liu, Sharifzadeh and Staden proved that among all graphs with minimum degree $d$, $K_{d+1}$ minimises the number of…

The sharpest known high probability generalization bounds for uniformly stable algorithms (Feldman, Vondr\'{a}k, 2018, 2019), (Bousquet, Klochkov, Zhivotovskiy, 2020) contain a generally inevitable sampling error term of order…

For an oriented graph $G$, the oriented discrepancy problem concerns the existence of a spanning subgraph of $G$ with a large imbalance between its forward and backward edge orientations. Freschi and Lo proved the Dirac-type Hamilton cycle…

We study the appearance of powers of Hamilton cycles in pseudorandom graphs, using the following comparatively weak pseudorandomness notion. A graph $G$ is $(\varepsilon,p,k,\ell)$-pseudorandom if for all disjoint $X$ and $Y\subset V(G)$…

The isoperimetric constant of a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, $i(G)$, is the minimum of $\frac{|\partial S|}{|S|}$, taken over all nonempty subsets $S\subset V(G)$ of size at most $n/2$, where $\partial S$ denotes the set of edges with…

We prove that the degree 4 sum-of-squares (SOS) relaxation of the clique number of the Paley graph on a prime number $p$ of vertices has value at least $\Omega(p^{1/3})$. This is in contrast to the widely believed conjecture that the actual…

We prove that the dimension of every poset whose comparability graph has maximum degree $\Delta$ is at most $\Delta\log^{1+o(1)} \Delta$. This result improves on a 30-year old bound of F\"uredi and Kahn, and is within a $\log^{o(1)}\Delta$…

The motion of a graph is the minimal degree of its full automorphism group. Babai conjectured that the motion of a primitive distance-regular graph on $n$ vertices of diameter greater than two is at least $n/C$ for some universal constant…
