We show that every $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices which does not contain a tight cycle has at most $O(n^{r-1} (\log n)^5)$ edges. This is an improvement on the previously best-known bound, of $n^{r-1} e^{O(\sqrt{\log n})}$, due to…

In 1960, Ghouila-Houri proved that every strongly connected directed graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with minimum degree at least $n$ contains a directed Hamilton cycle. We asymptotically generalize this result by proving the following: every…

In 1999, Jacobson and Lehel conjectured that for $k \geq 3$, every $k$-regular Hamiltonian graph has cycles of at least linearly many different lengths. This was further strengthened by Verstra\"{e}te, who asked whether the regularity can…

Dirac proved that each $n$-vertex $2$-connected graph with minimum degree $k$ contains a cycle of length at least $\min\{2k, n\}$. We obtain analogous results for Berge cycles in hypergraphs. Recently, the authors proved an exact lower…

We prove that for every surface $\Sigma$, the class of Eulerian directed graphs that are Eulerian embeddable into $\Sigma$ (in particular they have degree at most $4$) is well-quasi-ordered by strong immersion. This result marks one of the…

An oriented multigraph is a directed multigraph without directed 2-cycles. Let ${\rm fas}(D)$ denote the minimum size of a feedback arc set in an oriented multigraph $D$. The degree of a vertex is the sum of its out- and in-degrees. In…

In 1975, Erd\H{o}s asked the following natural question: What is the maximum number of edges that an $n$-vertex graph can have without containing a cycle with all diagonals? Erd\H{o}s observed that the upper bound $O(n^{5/3})$ holds since…

Both Cuckler and Yuster independently conjectured that when $n$ is an odd positive multiple of $3$ every regular tournament on $n$ vertices contains a collection of $n/3$ vertex-disjoint copies of the cyclic triangle. Soon after, Keevash…

In 1974, Erd\H{o}s asked the following question: given a graph $G$ and a directed graph $\vec{H}$, how many ways are there to orient the edges of $G$ such that it does not contain $\vec{H}$ as a subgraph? We denote this value by $D(G,…

Let $k$ be a positive integer. Bermond and Thomassen conjectured in 1981 that every digraph with minimum outdegree at least $2k-1$ contains $k$ vertex-disjoint cycles. It is famous as one of the one hundred unsolved problems selected in…

Let $n$ be sufficiently large and suppose that $G$ is a digraph on $n$ vertices where every vertex has in- and outdegree at least $n/2$. We show that $G$ contains every orientation of a Hamilton cycle except, possibly, the antidirected one.…

An oriented 3-graph consists of a family of triples (3-sets), each of which is given one of its two possible cyclic orientations. A cycle in an oriented 3-graph is a positive sum of some of the triples that gives weight zero to each 2-set.…

A $k$-geodetic digraph with minimum out-degree $d$ has excess $\epsilon $ if it has order $M(d,k) + \epsilon $, where $M(d,k)$ represents the Moore bound for out-degree $d$ and diameter $k$. For given $\epsilon $, it is simple to show that…
