Reed in 1998 conjectured that every graph $G$ satisfies $\chi(G) \leq \lceil \frac{\Delta(G)+1+\omega(G)}{2} \rceil$. As a partial result, he proved the existence of $\varepsilon > 0$ for which every graph $G$ satisfies $\chi(G) \leq \lceil…

Koml\'os conjectured in 1981 that among all graphs with minimum degree at least $d$, the complete graph $K_{d+1}$ minimises the number of Hamiltonian subsets, where a subset of vertices is Hamiltonian if it contains a spanning cycle. We…

In this paper, we state a conjecture on the prime factorization of numbers of the form $n!+1$, explore its implications, and compare it with empirical evidence and established results based on the $abc$ conjecture.

We investigate how the Hausdorff dimensions of microsets are related to the dimensions of the original set. It is known that the maximal dimension of a microset is the Assouad dimension of the set. We prove that the lower dimension can…

In this paper, we introduce a weakening of the Freiman isomorphisms between subsets of non necessarily abelian groups. Inspired by the breakthrough result of Kravitz, [14], on cyclic groups, as a first application, we prove that any subset…

We relate the n! conjecture (by Garsia and Haiman) to the geometry of principal nilpotent pairs, and state a conjecture generalizing the n! conjecture to arbitrary semisimple algebraic groups. We also show, using Borel's fixed point…

Motivated by quite recent research involving the relationship between the dimension of a poset and graph-theoretic properties of its cover graph, we show that for every $d\geq 1$, if $P$ is a poset and the dimension of a subposet $B$ of $P$…

For a finite point set $P \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, denote by $\text{diam}(P)$ the ratio of the largest to the smallest distances between pairs of points in $P$. Let $c_{d, \alpha}(n)$ be the largest integer $c$ such that any $n$-point set $P…

For a family $\mathcal{F}$ of sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$, the Krasnoselskii number of $\mathcal{F}$ is the smallest $m$ such that for any $S \in \mathcal{F}$, if every $m$ points of $S$ are visible from a common point in $S$, then any finite…

Let $F_{k,d}(n)$ be the maximal size of a set ${A}\subseteq [n]$ such that the equation \[a_1a_2\dots a_k=x^d, \; a_1<a_2<\ldots<a_k\] has no solution with $a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_k\in {A}$ and integer $x$. Erd\H{o}s, S\'ark\"ozy and T. S\'os…

Let $\mathbb{Z}^{+}$ be the set of positive integers. Let $C_{k}$ denote all subsets of $\mathbb{Z}^{+}$ such that neither of them contains $k + 1$ pairwise coprime integers and $C_k(n)=C_k\cap \{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. Let $f(n, k) =…

A set in $\mathbb R^d$ is called almost-equidistant if for any three distinct points in the set, some two are at unit distance apart. First, we give a short proof of the result of Bezdek and L\'angi claiming that an almost-equidistant set…

The union-closed sets conjecture, also known as Frankl's conjecture, is a well-studied problem with various formulations. In terms of lattices, the conjecture states that every finite lattice $L$ with more than one element contains a…

An abstract simplicial complex is said to be $d$-representable if it records the intersection pattern of a collection of convex sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$. In this paper, we show that $d$-representability of a simplicial complex is equivalent…

The Dushnik-Miller dimension of a partially-ordered set $P$ is the smallest $d$ such that one can embed $P$ into a product of $d$ linear orders. We prove that the dimension of the divisibility order on the interval $\{1, \dotsc, n\}$, is…

Following the analysis of differentiable mappings of Y. Yomdin, M. Gromov has stated a very elegant "Algebraic Lemma" which says that the "differentiable size" of an algebraic subset may be bounded in terms only of its dimension, degree and…

We establish a version of the Furstenberg-Katznelson multi-dimensional Szemer\'edi in the primes ${\mathcal P} := \{2,3,5,\ldots\}$, which roughly speaking asserts that any dense subset of ${\mathcal P}^d$ contains constellations of any…

The celebrated union-closed conjecture is concerned with the cardinalities of various subsets of the Boolean $d$-cube. The cardinality of such a set is equivalent, up to a constant, to its measure under the uniform distribution, so we can…

A famous result of Freiman describes the structure of finite sets A of integers with small doubling property. If |A + A| <= K|A| then A is contained within a multidimensional arithmetic progression of dimension d(K) and size f(K)|A|. Here…

We study the Falconer distance set problem in Euclidean space and obtain improved dimensional estimates under natural Fourier analytic assumptions cast in terms of the Fourier dimension and spectrum. Interestingly, under reasonably mild…
