We study the geometry of warped cones over free, minimal isometric group actions and related constructions of expander graphs. We prove a rigidity theorem for the coarse geometry of such warped cones: Namely, if a group has no abelian…

We develop a new framework to study minimum $d$-degree conditions in $k$-uniform hypergraphs, which guarantee the existence of a tight Hamilton cycle. Our main theoretical result deals with the typical absorption, path cover and connecting…

We prove a strengthening of the trickle down theorem for partite complexes. Given a $(d+1)$-partite $d$-dimensional simplicial complex, we show that if "on average" the links of faces of co-dimension 2 are $\frac{1-\delta}{d}$-(one-sided)…

Stability and dependence are model-theoretic notions that have recently proved highly effective in the study of structural and algorithmic properties of hereditary graph classes, and are considered key notions for generalizing to hereditary…

Let $V$ be an $n$-dimensional vector space over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ and let $\left[V\atop k\right]_q$ denote the family of all $k$-dimensional subspaces of $V$. A family $\mathcal{F}\subseteq \left[V\atop k\right]_q$ is called…

In 1993, Fishburn and Graham established the following qualitative extension of the classical Erd\H{o}s-Szekeres theorem. If $N$ is sufficiently large with respect to $n$, then any $N\times N$ real matrix contains an $n\times n$ submatrix…

Many important theorems in combinatorics, such as Szemer\'edi's theorem on arithmetic progressions and the Erd\H{o}s-Stone Theorem in extremal graph theory, can be phrased as statements about independent sets in uniform hypergraphs. In…

A two-part extension of the famous Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado Theorem is proved. The underlying set is partitioned into $X_1$ and $X_2$. Some positive integers $k_i, \ell_i (1\leq i\leq m)$ are given. We prove that if ${\cal F}$ is an intersecting…

Klimo\v{s}ov\'a, Piguet, and Rozho\v{n} conjectured that any graph with minimum degree $k/2$ and sufficiently many vertices of degree $k$ should contain all trees with $k$ edges. We prove an asymptotic version of this conjecture for dense…

The joint ergodicity classification problem aims to characterize those sequences which are jointly ergodic along an arbitrary dynamical system if and only if they satisfy two natural, simpler-to-verify conditions on this system. These two…

Intersecting and cross-intersecting families usually appear in extremal combinatorics in the vein of the Erd{\H o}s--Ko--Rado theorem. On the other hand, P.~Erd{\H o}s and L.~Lov{\'a}sz in the noted paper~\cite{EL} posed problems on…

A family $\mathcal{A}$ of sets is said to be intersecting if every two sets in $\mathcal{A}$ intersect. Two families $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ are said to be cross-intersecting if each set in $\mathcal{A}$ intersects each set in…

Kupavskii proved a codegree version of the Erd\H{o}s--Ko--Rado theorem by showing that for an intersecting family $\mathcal{F} \subseteq \binom{[n]}{k}$ with $n \geq 2k +3d/(1-d/k)$, the minimum $d$-degree of $\mathcal{F}$ is at most…
