If $T$ is an $n$-vertex tournament with a given number of $3$-cycles, what can be said about the number of its $4$-cycles? The most interesting range of this problem is where $T$ is assumed to have $c\cdot n^3$ cyclic triples for some $c>0$…

Let $G=(V, E)$ be a graph where $V$ and $E$ are the vertex and edge sets, respectively. For two disjoint subsets $A$ and $B$ of $V$, we say $A$ \textit{dominates} $B$ if every vertex of $B$ is adjacent to at least one vertex of $A$ in $G$.…

A (possibly directed) graph is $k$-linked if for any two disjoint sets of vertices $\{x_1, \dots, x_k\}$ and $\{y_1, \dots, y_k\}$ there are vertex disjoint paths $P_1, \dots, P_k$ such that $P_i$ goes from $x_i$ to $y_{i}$. A theorem of…

We prove the existence of a function $h(k)$ such that every simple digraph with minimum outdegree greater than $h(k)$ contains an immersion of the transitive tournament on $k$ vertices. This solves a conjecture of Devos, McDonald, Mohar and…

A perfect $K_r$-tiling in a graph $G$ is a collection of vertex-disjoint copies of the graph $K_r$ in $G$ that covers all vertices of $G$. In this paper, we prove that the threshold for the existence of a perfect $K_{r}$-tiling of a…

The Erd\H{o}s-Hajnal conjecture states that for every given undirected graph $H$ there exists a constant $c(H)>0$ such that every graph $G$ that does not contain $H$ as an induced subgraph contains a clique or a stable set of size at least…

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…

A celebrated unresolved conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal states that for every undirected graph $H$ there exists $\epsilon(H)>0$ such that every undirected graph on $n$ vertices that does not contain $H$ as an induced subgraph contains a…

We show that for all $k\geq 4$, $\varepsilon >0$, and $n$ sufficiently large, every $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices in which each set of $k-3$ vertices is contained in at least $(5/8 + \varepsilon) \binom{n}{3}$ edges contains a…

We show that for every positive integer $k$, any tournament with minimum out-degree at least $(2+o(1))k^2$ contains a subdivision of the complete directed graph on $k$ vertices, which is best possible up to a factor of $8$. This may be…

We prove that every $n$-vertex tournament $G$ has an acyclic subgraph with chromatic number at least $n^{5/9-o(1)}$, while there exists an $n$-vertex tournament $G$ whose every acyclic subgraph has chromatic number at most $n^{3/4+o(1)}$.…

For a fixed bipartite graph H and given number c, 0<c<1, we determine the threshold T_H(c) which guarantees that any n-vertex graph with at edge density at least T_H(c) contains $(1-o(1))c/v(H) n$ vertex-disjoint copies of H. In the proof…

A celebrated unresolved conjecture of Erd\"{o}s and Hajnal states that for every undirected graph $H$ there exists $ \epsilon(H) > 0 $ such that every undirected graph on $ n $ vertices that does not contain $H$ as an induced subgraph…

An oriented graph $H$ is Tur\'anable (resp. tileable) if there exist $n_0 \in \mathbb{N}$ such that every semi-regular near-tournament on $n \ge n_0$ vertices contains a copy of $H$ (resp. a perfect $H$-tiling). We disprove a conjectured…

Denote by $T_k$ the generalised triangle, a $k$-uniform hypergraph on vertex set $\{1,2,\dots,2k-1\}$ with three edges $\{1,\dots,k-1,k\}$,$\{1,\dots,k-1,k+1\}$ and $\{k,k+1,\dots,2k-1\}$. Recently, Bowtell, Kathapurkar, Morrison and…

A basic result in graph theory says that any $n$-vertex tournament with in- and out-degrees larger than $\frac{n-2}{4}$ contains a Hamilton cycle, and this is tight. In 1990, Bollob\'{a}s and H\"{a}ggkvist significantly extended this by…

We look at structures that must be removed (or reversed) in order to make acyclic a given oriented graph. For a directed acyclic graph $H$ and an oriented graph $G$, let $f_H(G)$ be the maximum number of pairwise disjoint copies of $H$ that…

Thomassen conjectured that there is a function $f(k)$ such that every strongly $f(k)$-connected tournament contains $k$ edge-disjoint Hamiltonian cycles. This conjecture was recently proved by K\"uhn, Lapinskas, Osthus, and Patel who showed…

In a graph $G$, a subset of vertices $S \subseteq V(G)$ is said to be cyclable if there is a cycle containing the vertices in some order. $G$ is said to be $k$-cyclable if any subset of $k \geq 2$ vertices is cyclable. If any $k$…

In the tournament game two players, called Maker and Breaker, alternately take turns in claiming an unclaimed edge of the complete graph on n vertices and selecting one of the two possible orientations. Before the game starts, Breaker fixes…
