In this paper, we prove the conjectures of Gharakhloo and Welker (2023) that the positive matching decomposition number (pmd) of a $3$-uniform hypergraph is bounded from above by a polynomial of degree $2$ in terms of the number of…

Given a point set $P$ in the Euclidean plane and a parameter $t$, we define an \emph{oriented $t$-spanner} $G$ as an oriented subgraph of the complete bi-directed graph such that for every pair of points, the shortest closed walk in $G$…

The size-Ramsey number $\hat{r}(H)$ of a graph $H$ is the smallest number of edges a (host) graph $G$ can have, such that for any red/blue colouring of $G$, there is a monochromatic copy of $H$ in $G$. Recently, Conlon, Nenadov and Truji\'c…

For a hypergraph $H$, define its intersection spectrum $I(H)$ as the set of all intersection sizes $|E\cap F|$ of distinct edges $E,F\in E(H)$. In their seminal paper from 1973 which introduced the local lemma, Erd\H{o}s and Lov\'asz asked:…

While most classical NP-hard graph problems cannot be solved in time $2^{o(n)}$ on general graphs under the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH), many exhibit the square-root phenomenon and admit optimal algorithms running in time…

We prove ``half-space" intersection properties in three settings: the hemisphere, half-geodesic balls in space forms, and certain subsets of Gaussian space. For instance, any two embedded minimal hypersurfaces in the sphere must intersect…

We prove better lower bounds on additive spanners and emulators, which are lossy compression schemes for undirected graphs, as well as lower bounds on shortcut sets, which reduce the diameter of directed graphs. We show that any $O(n)$-size…

This paper deals with the problem of detecting non-isotropic high-dimensional geometric structure in random graphs. Namely, we study a model of a random geometric graph in which vertices correspond to points generated randomly and…

We approximate intersection numbers $\big\langle \psi_1^{d_1}\cdots \psi_n^{d_n}\big\rangle_{g,n}$ on Deligne-Mumford's moduli space $\overline{\mathcal M}_{g,n}$ of genus $g$ stable complex curves with $n$ marked points by certain…

In this paper, we revisit the classic approximate All-Pairs Shortest Paths (APSP) problem in undirected graphs. For unweighted graphs, we provide an algorithm for $2$-approximate APSP in $\tilde O(n^{2.5-r}+n^{\omega(r)})$ time, for any…

Let $H$ be an edge-weighted graph, and let $G$ be a subgraph of $H$. We say that $G$ is an $f$-fault-tolerant $t$-spanner for $H$, if the following is true for any subset $F$ of at most $f$ edges of $G$: For any two vertices $p$ and $q$,…

We use exponential start time clustering to design faster and more work-efficient parallel graph algorithms involving distances. Previous algorithms usually rely on graph decomposition routines with strict restrictions on the diameters of…

An $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$ is semi-algebraic of complexity $\mathbf{t}=(d,D,m)$ if the vertices of $H$ correspond to points in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$, and the edges of $H$ are determined by the sign-pattern of $m$ degree-$D$ polynomials.…

Let $d\geq 3$ be a constant and let $F$ be a $d$-regular graph on $[n]$ with not too many symmetries. By the union bound, the probability threshold for the existence of a spanning subgraph in $G(n,p)$ isomorphic to $F$ is at least…

$ $We study the $d$-Uniform Hypergraph Matching ($d$-UHM) problem: given an $n$-vertex hypergraph $G$ where every hyperedge is of size $d$, find a maximum cardinality set of disjoint hyperedges. For $d\geq3$, the problem of finding the…

We give the first Congested Clique algorithm that computes a sparse hopset with polylogarithmic hopbound in polylogarithmic time. Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, a $(\beta,\epsilon)$-hopset $H$ with "hopbound" $\beta$, is a set of edges added to…

Our main result is designing an algorithm that returns a vertex cover of $\mathcal{G}^\star$ with size at most $(3/2+\epsilon)$ times the expected size of the minimum vertex cover, using only $O(n/\epsilon p)$ non-adaptive queries. This…

We prove the following Alon-Boppana type theorem for general (not necessarily regular) weighted graphs: if $G$ is an $n$-node weighted undirected graph of average combinatorial degree $d$ (that is, $G$ has $dn/2$ edges) and girth $g>…

Additive spanners are fundamental graph structures with wide applications in network design, graph sparsification, and distance approximation. In particular, a $4$-additive spanner is a subgraph that preserves all pairwise distances up to…

We prove that every 3-connected planar graph on $n$ vertices contains an induced path on $\Omega(\log n)$ vertices, which is best possible and improves the best known lower bound by a multiplicative factor of $\log \log n$. We deduce that…
