In this talk, we will discuss the problem of determining the maximum number of edges in an n-vertex k-critical graph. A graph is considered k-critical if its chromatic number is k, but any proper subgraph has a chromatic number less than k. The problem remains open for any integer k ≥ 4. Our presentation will …
Configurations of axis-parallel boxes in $\mathbb{R}^d$ are extensively studied in combinatorial geometry. Despite their perceived simplicity, there are many problems involving their structure that are not well understood. I will talk about a construction that shows that their structure might be more complicated than people conjectured.
We consider the spanning tree embedding problem in dense graphs without bipartite holes and sparse graphs. In 2005, Alon, Krivelevich and Sudakov asked for determining the best possible spectral gap forcing an $(n,d,\lambda)$-graph to be $T(n, \Delta)$-universal. In this talk, we introduce our recent work on this conjecture.
Pivot-minors can be thought of as a dense analogue of graph minors. We shall discuss pivot-minors and two recent results for proper pivot-minor-closed classes of graphs. In particular, that for every graph H, the class of graphs containing no H-pivot-minor is 𝜒-bounded, and also satisfies the (strong) Erdős-Hajnal property.
In 2006, Tao established the Gaussian counterpart of the celebrated Green-Tao theorem on arithmetic progressions of primes. In this talk, I will explain the extension of Tao's theorem and the Green-Tao theorem to the case of general number fields. Our combinatorial tool is the relative hypergraph removal lemma by Conlon-Fox-Zhao. I will discuss the difficulties …
For a given graph $H$, we say that a graph $G$ has a perfect $H$-subdivision tiling if $G$ contains a collection of vertex-disjoint subdivisions of $H$ covering all vertices of $G.$ Let $\delta_{sub}(n, H)$ be the smallest integer $k$ such that any $n$-vertex graph $G$ with minimum degree at least $k$ has a perfect $H$-subdivision …
In many different areas of mathematics (such as number theory, discrete geometry, and combinatorics), one is often presented with a large "unstructured" object, and asked to find a smaller "structured" object inside it. One of the earliest and most influential examples of this phenomenon was the theorem of Ramsey, proved in 1930, which states that …
