A long-standing conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and Simonovits asserts that for every rational number $r\in (1,2)$ there exists a bipartite graph $H$ such that $\ex(n,H)=\Theta(n^r)$. So far this conjecture is known to be true only for rationals of…

We prove that every oriented tree on $n$ vertices with bounded maximum degree appears as a spanning subdigraph of every directed graph on $n$ vertices with minimum semidegree at least $n/2+o(n)$. This can be seen as a directed graph…

Interaction between clique number $\omega(G) $ and chromatic number $\chi(G) $ of a graph is a well studied topic in graph theory. Perfect Graph Theorems are probably the most important results in this direction. Graph $G$ is called…

The K{\L}R conjecture of Kohayakawa, {\L}uczak, and R\"odl is a statement that allows one to prove that asymptotically almost surely all subgraphs of the random graph G_{n,p}, for sufficiently large p : = p(n), satisfy an embedding lemma…

Given feasible strongly regular graph parameters $(v,k,\lambda,\mu)$ and a non-negative integer $d$, we determine upper and lower bounds on the order of a $d$-regular induced subgraph of any strongly regular graph with parameters…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ nodes. In this note, we prove that if $G$ is $(r+1)$-vertex connected, $1 \leq r \leq n-2$, then there exists a configuration $p$ in general position in $R^r$ such that the bar framework $(G,p)$ is universally…

We expand upon the notion of bottlenecking introduced in our earlier work, characterizing a spectrum of graphs and showing that this naturally extends to a concept of coarse bottlenecking. We show how the notion of bottlenecking provides a…

Let $\mathscr C$ be a class of finite and infinite graphs that is closed under induced subgraphs. The well-known {\L}o\'s-Tarski Theorem from classical model theory implies that $\mathscr C$ is definable in first-order logic (FO) by a…

O'Donnell, Wright, Wu and Zhou [SODA 2014] introduced the notion of robustly asymmetric graphs. Roughly speaking, these are graphs in which for every $0 \le \rho \le 1$, every permutation that permutes a $\rho$ fraction of the vertices maps…

The following sharpening of Tur\'an's theorem is proved. Let $T_{n,p}$ denote the complete $p$--partite graph of order $n$ having the maximum number of edges. If $G$ is an $n$-vertex $K_{p+1}$-free graph with $e(T_{n,p})-t$ edges then there…

Every simple finite graph $G$ has an associated Lov\'asz-Saks-Schrijver ring $R_G(d)$ that is related to the $d$-dimensional orthogonal representations of $G$. The study of $R_G(d)$ lies at the intersection between algebraic geometry,…

Erd\H{o}s and Gy\'arf\'as conjectured in 1994 that every graph with minimum degree at least 3 has a cycle of length a power of 2. In 2022, Gao and Shan (Graphs and Combinatorics) proved that the conjecture is true for $P_8$-free graphs,…

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…

Motivated by the problem of zero-error broadcasting, we introduce a new notion of graph capacity, termed $\rho$-capacity, that generalizes the Shannon capacity of a graph. We derive upper and lower bounds on the $\rho$-capacity of arbitrary…

Highly regular graphs for which not all regularities are explainable by symmetries are fascinating creatures. Some of them like, e.g., the line graph of W.~Kantor's non-classical $\mathrm{GQ}(5^2,5)$, are stumbling stones for existing…

Dirac (1952) proved that every connected graph of order $n>2k+1$ with minimum degree more than $k$ contains a path of length at least $2k+1$. Erd\H{o}s and Gallai (1959) showed that every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with average degree more than…
