We prove a conjecture of Kim and Oum that every proper pivot-minor-closed class of graphs has the strong Erd\H{o}s-Hajnal property. More precisely, for every graph $H$, there exists $\epsilon > 0$ such that every $n$-vertex graph with no…

In this note, we study the emergence of Hamiltonian Berge cycles in random $r$-uniform hypergraphs. For $r\geq 3$, we prove an optimal stopping-time result that if edges are sequently added to an initially empty $r$-graph, then as soon as…

In additive combinatorics, Erd\"{o}s-Szemer\'{e}di Conjecture is an important conjecture. It can be applied to many fields, such as number theory, harmonic analysis, incidence geometry, and so on. Additionally, its statement is quite easy…

For $X(n)$ a Rademacher or Steinhaus random multiplicative function, we consider the random polynomials $$ P_N(\theta) = \frac1{\sqrt{N}} \sum_{n\leq N} X(n) e(n\theta), $$ and show that the $2k$-th moments on the unit circle $$ \int_0^1…

Let $\Sigma$ be a strictly convex, compact patch of a $C^2$ hypersurface in $\mathbb{R}^n$, with non-vanishing Gaussian curvature and surface measure $d\sigma$ induced by the Lebesgue measure in $\mathbb{R}^n$. The Mizohata--Takeuchi…

Let f(n) denote the smallest positive integer such that every set of $f(n)$ points in general position in the Euclidean plane contains a convex n-gon. In a seminal paper published in 1935, Erd\H{o}s and Szekeres proved that f(n) exists and…

Consider the complete graph \(K_n\) on \(n\) vertices where each edge \(e\) is independently open with probability \(p_n(e)\) or closed otherwise. Here \(\frac{C-\alpha_n}{n} \leq p_n(e) \leq \frac{C+\alpha_n}{n}\) where \(C > 0\) is a…

The Bernoulli convolution with parameter $\lambda\in(0,1)$ is the probability measure $\mu_\lambda$ that is the law of the random variable $\sum_{n\ge0}\pm\lambda^n$, where the signs are independent unbiased coin tosses. We prove that each…
