Let $TT_k$ denote the transitive tournament on $k$ vertices. Let $TT(h,k)$ denote the graph obtained from $TT_k$ by replacing each vertex with an independent set of size $h \geq 1$. The following result is proved: Let $c_2=1/2$, $c_3=5/6$…

The oriented Ramsey number $\vec{r}(H)$ for an acyclic digraph $H$ is the minimum integer $n$ such that any $n$-vertex tournament contains a copy of $H$ as a subgraph. We prove that the $1$-subdivision of the $k$-vertex transitive…

In an earlier paper the first two authors have shown that self-complementary graphs can always be oriented in such a way that the union of the oriented version and its isomorphically oriented complement gives a transitive tournament. We…

Recently, Dragani\'c, Munh\'a Correia, Sudakov and Yuster showed that every tournament on $(2+o(1))k^2$ vertices contains a $1$-subdivision of a transitive tournament on $k$ vertices, which is tight up to a constant factor. We prove 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…

An {\it inversion} of a tournament $T$ is obtained by reversing the direction of all edges with both endpoints in some set of vertices. Let ${\rm inv}_k(T)$ be the minimum length of a sequence of inversions using sets of size at most $k$…

We prove that a tournament with $n$ vertices has more than $0.13n^2(1+o(1))$ edge-disjoint transitive triples. We also prove some results on the existence of large packings of $k$-vertex transitive tournaments in an $n$-vertex tournament.…

Hajnal and Szemeredi proved that every graph G with |G|=ks and minimum degree at least k(s-1) contains k vertex disjoint s-cliques; moreover this degree bound is optimal. We extend their theorem to directed graphs by showing that every…

We prove that for every fixed $k$, the number of occurrences of the transitive tournament $Tr_k$ of order $k$ in a tournament $T_n$ on $n$ vertices is asymptotically minimized when $T_n$ is random. In the opposite direction, we show that…

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 $G$.…

We prove that there exists an absolute constant $C>0$ such that, for any positive integer $k$, every graph $G$ with minimum degree at least $Ck$ admits a vertex-partition $V(G)=S\cup T$, where both $G[S]$ and $G[T]$ have minimum degree at…

Given $a,b,c\in\mathbb N$, let $D_{a,b,c}$ be the tournament on $a+b+c$ vertices obtained by replacing the vertices of the directed triangle $C_3$ with transitive tournaments $TT_a$, $TT_b$, and $TT_c$, respectively. Keevash and Sudakov…

The study of problems concerning subdivisions of graphs has a rich history in extremal combinatorics. Confirming a conjecture of Burr and Erd\H{o}s, Alon proved in 1994 that subdivided graphs have linear Ramsey numbers. Later, Alon,…

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…

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 that $A$ \emph{dominates} $B$ if every vertex of $B$ is adjacent to at least one vertex of $A$. A…

We study variants of Sidorenko's conjecture in tournaments, where new phenomena arise that do not have clear analogues in the setting of undirected graphs. We first consider oriented graphs that are systematically under-represented in…

We conjecture that every oriented graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with $\delta ^+ (G) , \delta ^- (G) \geq 5n/12$ contains the square of a Hamilton cycle. We also give a conjectural bound on the minimum semidegree which ensures a perfect packing…

The problem of determining the optimal minimum degree condition for a balanced bipartite graph on 2ms vertices to contain m vertex disjoint copies of K_{s,s} was solved by Zhao. Later Hladk\'y and Schacht, and Czygrinow and DeBiasio…

Bermond and Thomassen conjectured in 1981 that every digraph with minimum outdegree at least $2k-1$ contains $k$ vertex-disjoint cycles,here $k$ is a positive integer. Lichiardopol conjectured in 2014 that for every positive integer $k$…

We consider the transformation reversing all arcs of a subset $X$ of the vertex set of a tournament $T$. The \emph{index} of $T$, denoted by $i(T)$, is the smallest number of subsets that must be reversed to make $T$ acyclic. It turns out…
