A new, constructive proof with a small explicit constant is given to the Erd\H{o}s-Pyber theorem which says that the edges of a graph on $n$ vertices can be partitioned into complete bipartite subgraphs so that every vertex is covered at…

A proof based on the Chern-Gauss-Bonnet Theorem is given to Hopf Theorem concerning the degree of the Gauss map of a hypersurface in $\mathbb{R}^n$.

We prove a pointwise ergodic theorem for quasi-probability-measure-preserving (quasi-pmp) locally countable measurable graphs, equivalently, Schreier graphs of quasi-pmp actions of countable groups. For ergodic graphs, the theorem gives an…

Menger's Theorem is a fundamental result in graph theory. It states that if in a graph $G$ with distinguished sets of terminal vertices $S$ and $T$ there are no $k$ pairwise vertex-disjoint $S$-$T$ paths, then there is a set of less than…

Turan's theorem implies that every graph of order n with more edges than the r-partite Turan graph contains a complete graph of order r+1. We show that the same premise implies the existence of much larger graphs. We also prove…

In 1968, Ore determined the maximum size of $k$-connected graphs with given order and diameter. In this note, we give a new short proof.

We prove that the `Upper Matching Conjecture' of Friedland, Krop, and Markstr\"om and the analogous conjecture of Kahn for independent sets in regular graphs hold for all large enough graphs as a function of the degree. That is, for every…

Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$. A path decomposition $\mathcal{P}$ of $G$ is a collection of edge-disjoint paths that covers all the edges of $G$. Let $p(G)$ denote the minimum number of paths needed in a path decomposition of $G$. Gallai…

We show that the class of multigraphs with at most $p$ connected components and bonds of size at most $k$ is well-quasi-ordered by edge contraction for all positive integers $p,k$. (A bond is a minimal non-empty edge cut.) We also…

We show that there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that not only does $p + 2$ have at most two prime factors, but $p + 6$ also has a bounded number of prime divisors. This refines the well known result of Chen.

Polat generalised Menger's theorem -- the maximum number of vertex-disjoint paths between two sets $A$ and $B$ equals the minimum size of an $A$-$B$ separator -- to ends of undirected graphs. In this paper we extend Menger's theorem to ends…

We prove that every graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with no isolated vertices contains an induced subgraph of size at least $n/10000$ with all degrees odd. This solves an old and well-known conjecture in graph theory.

We prove a full measurable version of Vizing's theorem for bounded degree Borel graphs, that is, we show that every Borel graph $\mathcal{G}$ of degree uniformly bounded by $\Delta\in \mathbb{N}$ defined on a standard probability space…

We give another proof of Imin Chen's result that the jacobian of the modular curve X(p)_{non-split}, for p a prime number, is isogeneous to the new part of the jacobian of X_0(p^2), using only the representation theory of the group…

Let $f \colon X \to B$ be a complex elliptic surface and let $\DD \subset X$ be an integral divisor dominating $B$. It is well-known that the Parshin-Arakelov theorem implies the Mordell conjecture over complex function fields by a…

Edmonds, Lov\'asz, and Pulleyblank showed that if a matching covered graph has a nontrivial tight cut, then it also has a nontrivial ELP-cut. Carvalho et al. gave a stronger conjecture: if a matching covered graph has a nontrivial tight cut…

We present a new proof of a theorem of Chen and Jiang: for any integer $n>1$, there is a constant $K_n>0$ such that every smooth projective $n$-fold $X$ with $\operatorname{vol}(X)>K_n$ has either the stable birational $2$-canonical map or…

We give a short proof, using Lagrange inversion, of a congruence modulo 3 for the number of connected noncrossing graphs on n vertices that was conjectured by Emeric Deutsch and Bruce Sagan. A more complicated proof had been given earlier…

We prove Menger-type results in which the obtained paths are pairwise non-adjacent, both for graphs of bounded maximum degree and, more generally, for graphs excluding a topological minor. We further show better bounds in the subcubic case,…

Various results ensure the existence of large complete bipartite graphs in properly colored graphs when some condition related to a topological lower bound on the chromatic number is satisfied. We generalize three theorems of this kind,…
