Every better quasi-order codifies a Borel graph that does not contain a copy of the shift graph. It is known that there is a better quasi-order that codes a Borel graph with infinite Borel chromatic number, though one has yet to be…

A group of permutations G of a set V is k-distinguishable if there exists a partition of V into k parts such that only the identity permutation in G fixes setwise all of the cells of the partition. The least cardinal number k such that…

We answer a question of Arant, Kechris and Lutz by showing that there is a Borel graphable equivalence relation with no Borel graphing of diameter less than 3. More specifically, we prove that there is an equivalence relation with a Borel…

We investigate when a Borel graph admits a (Borel or measurable) orientation with outdegree bounded by $k$ for various cardinals $k$. We show that for a p.m.p. graph $G$, a measurable orientation can be found when $k$ is larger than the…

We introduce a new type of examples of bounded degree acyclic Borel graphs and study their combinatorial properties in the context of descriptive combinatorics, using a generalization of the determinacy method of Marks. The motivation for…

This paper is devoted to the study of analytic equivalence relations which are Borel graphable, i.e. which can be realized as the connectedness relation of a Borel graph. Our main focus is the question of which analytic equivalence…

The distinguishing number (index) $D(G)$ ($D'(G)$) of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has an vertex labeling (edge labeling) with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. In this paper we compute these…

In an unfriendly coloring of a graph the color of every node mismatches that of the majority of its neighbors. We show that every probability measure preserving Borel graph with finite average degree admits a Borel unfriendly coloring…

The domatic number of a graph is the maximum number of vertex disjoint dominating sets that partition the vertex set of the graph. In this paper we consider the fractional variant of this notion. Graphs with fractional domatic number 1 are…

We construct, for each countable ordinal $\xi$, a closed graph with Borel chromatic number two and Baire class $\xi$ chromatic number $\aleph\_0$.

A graph G is said to be 2-distinguishable if there is a 2-labeling of its vertices which is not preserved by any nontrivial automorphism of G. We show that every locally finite graph with infinite motion and growth at most…

For each positive integer $n$, we define the divisibility relation graph $D_n$ whose vertex set is the set of divisors of $n$, and in which two vertices are adjacent if one is a divisor of the other. This type of graph is a special case of…

An edge colouring of a graph is called distinguishing if there is no non-trivial automorphism which preserves it. We prove that every at most countable, finite or infinite, connected regular graph of order at least $7$ admits a…

A graph $G$ is said to be $k$-distinguishable if the vertex set can be colored using $k$ colors such that no non-trivial automorphism fixes every color class, and the distinguishing number $D(G)$ is the least integer $k$ for which $G$ is…

In an influential 2008 paper, Baker proposed a number of conjectures relating the divisor theory of algebraic curves with an analogous combinatorial theory on finite graphs. In this note, we examine Baker's Brill--Noether existence…

In this work we study the uncountable Borel chromatic numbers, defined by Geschke (2011) as cardinal characteristics of the continuum, of low complexity graphs. We show that a strong form of locally countable graphs with compact totally…

We characterize the structural impediments to the existence of Borel perfect matchings for acyclic locally countable Borel graphs admitting a Borel selection of finitely many ends from their connected components. In particular, this yields…

A graph is a split graph if its vertex set can be partitioned into a clique and a stable set. A split graph is unbalanced if there exist two such partitions that are distinct. Cheng, Collins and Trenk (2016), discovered the following…
