We say that a Hamilton cycle $C=(x_1,\ldots,x_n)$ in a graph $G$ is $k$-symmetric, if the mapping $x_i\mapsto x_{i+n/k}$ for all $i=1,\ldots,n$, where indices are considered modulo $n$, is an automorphism of $G$. In other words, if we lay…

Man\v{c}inska and Roberson introduced quantum graph homomorphisms as the existence of perfect quantum strategies for graph homomorphism games. The resulting relation is a quasi-order on finite graphs, and hence gives a partial order after…

For a graph $G$, the $k$-colouring graph of $G$ has vertices corresponding to proper $k$-colourings of $G$ and edges between colourings that differ at a single vertex. The graph supports the Glauber dynamics Markov chain for $k$-colourings,…

Let $n$ and $r$ be integers with $n-2\ge r\ge 3$. We prove that any $r$-uniform hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ on $n$ vertices with spectral radius $\lambda(\mathcal{H}) > \binom{n-2}{r-1}$ must contain a Hamiltonian Berge cycle unless…

In this paper, in view of $Z_p$-Tucker lemma, we introduce a lower bound for chromatic number of Kneser hypergraphs which improves Dol'nikov-K{\v{r}}{\'{\i}}{\v{z}} bound. Next, we introduce multiple Kneser hypergraphs and we specify the…

A cycle with four blocks $C(k_{1}, k_{2},k_{3},k_{4})$ is an oriented cycle formed of four blocks of lengths $k_{1}, k_{2}, k_{3}$ and $k_{4}$ respectively. Recently, Cohen et al. conjectured that for every positive integers $k_{1}, k_{2},…

In this follow-up to [M.G.~Cornet, P.~Torres, arXiv:2308.15603], where the $k$-tuple domination number and the 2-packing number in Kneser graphs $K(n,r)$ were studied, we are concerned with two variations, the $k$-domination number,…

For every $k \geq 3$, we determine the order of growth, up to polylogarithmic factors, of the number of orientations of the binomial random graph containing no directed cycle of length $k$. This solves a conjecture of Kohayakawa, Morris and…

The general position number for graphs ask for largest vertex subsets $S$ such that no three vertices are contained on a common shortest path. We examine this problem in the setting of directed graphs. We provide bounds for the general…

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…

Schrijver identified a family of vertex critical subgraphs of the Kneser graphs called the stable Kneser graphs $SG_{n,k}$. Bj\"{o}rner and de Longueville proved that the neighborhood complex of the stable Kneser graph $SG_{n,k}$ is…

A famous conjecture of Gy\'arf\'as and Sumner states for any tree $T$ and integer $k$, if the chromatic number of a graph is large enough, either the graph contains a clique of size $k$ or it contains $T$ as an induced subgraph. We discuss…

For positive integers n and r we define the Haggkvist-Hell graph, H_{n:r}, to be the graph whose vertices are the ordered pairs (h,T) where T is an r-subset of [n], and h is an element of [n] not in T. Vertices (h_x,T_x) and (h_y,T_y) are…
