Let $\Gamma$ be the graph on the roots of the $E_8$ root system, where any two distinct vertices $e$ and $f$ are connected by an edge with color equal to the inner product of $e$ and $f$. For any set $c$ of colors, let $\Gamma_c$ be the…

A rainbow spanning tree in an edge-colored graph is a spanning tree in which each edge is a different color. Carraher, Hartke, and Horn showed that for $n$ and $C$ large enough, if $G$ is an edge-colored copy of $K_n$ in which each color…

Odd $K$-theory has the interesting property that it admits an infinite number of inequivalent differential refinements. In this paper we provide a bundle theoretic model for odd differential $K$-theory using the caloron correspondence and…

We consider unavoidable chromatic patterns in $2$-colorings of the edges of the complete graph. Several such problems are explored being a junction point between Ramsey theory, extremal graph theory (Tur\'an type problems), zero-sum Ramsey…

The typical extremal problem asks how large a structure can be without containing a forbidden substructure. The Erd\H{o}s-Rothschild problem, introduced in 1974 by Erd\H{o}s and Rothschild in the context of extremal graph theory, is a…

Let $G$ be a finite non-abelian group. The non-commuting graph $\Gamma_G$ of $G$ has the vertex set $G\setminus Z(G)$ and two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if $xy\ne yx$, where $Z(G)$ is the center of $G$. We prove that the…

Motivated by work of Coxeter (1957), we study a class of algebras associated to Coxeter groups, which we term 'generalized nil-Coxeter algebras'. We construct the first finite-dimensional examples other than usual nil-Coxeter algebras;…

In the classical Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graph G(n,p) there are n vertices and each of the possible edges is independently present with probability p. The random graph G(n,p) is homogeneous in the sense that all vertices have the same…

McKay proved that the limiting spectral measures of the ensembles of $d$-regular graphs with $N$ vertices converge to Kesten's measure as $N\to\infty$. In this paper we explore the case of weighted graphs. More precisely, given a large…

In this short note, we study pairwise edge-disjoint rainbow spanning trees in properly edge-coloured complete graphs, where a graph is rainbow if its edges have distinct colours. Brualdi and Hollingsworth conjectured that every $K_n$…

Spielberg's construction of C*-algebras from left cancellative small categories is a common generalization for most C*-algebras one would consider to come from ``combinatorial data,'' including graph and $k$-graph C*-algebras, Li's…

Given a graph $G$ and a coloring of its edges, a subgraph of $G$ is called rainbow if its edges have distinct colors. The rainbow girth of an edge coloring of G is the minimum length of a rainbow cycle in G. A generalization of the famous…

Suppose that W is a finite, unitary, reflection group acting on the complex vector space V and X is a subspace of V. Define N to be the setwise stabilizer of X in W, Z to be the pointwise stabilizer, and C=N/Z. Then restriction defines a…

A $h$-sunflower in a hypergraph is a family of edges with $h$ vertices in common. We show that if we colour the edges of a complete hypergraph in such a way that any monochromatic $h$-sunflower has at most $\lambda$ petals, then it contains…

A subgraph of an edge-colored graph is called \emph{rainbow} if all of its edges have distinct colors. There has been much research on the topic of finding a large rainbow matching in a properly edge-colored graph, where a proper…

A rainbow stacking of $r$-edge-colorings $\chi_1, \ldots, \chi_m$ of the complete graph on $n$ vertices is a way of superimposing $\chi_1, \ldots, \chi_m$ so that no edges of the same color are superimposed on each other. We determine a…
