Motivated from the surrounding property of a point set in $\mathbb{R}^d$ introduced by Holmsen, Pach and Tverberg, we consider the transversal number and chromatic number of a simplicial sphere. As an attempt to give a lower bound for the maximum transversal ratio of simplicial $d$-spheres, we provide two infinite constructions. The first construction gives infinitely …
A geometric transversal to a family of convex sets in $\mathbb R^d$ is an affine flat that intersects the members of the family. While there exists a far-reaching theory concerning 0-dimensional transversals (intersection patterns of convex sets), much less is known when it comes to higher-dimensional transversals. In this talk, I will present some new …
The Caccetta-Haggkvist conjecture, one of the best known in graph theory, is that in a digraph with $n$ vertices in which all outdegrees are at least $n/k$ there is a directed cycle of length at most $k$. This is known for large values of $k$, relatively to n, and asymptotically for n large. A few …
For given $k$ graphs $G_1,\dots, G_k$ over a common vertex set of size $n$, what conditions on $G_i$ ensures a 'colorful' copy of $H$, i.e. a copy of $H$ containing at most one edge from each $G_i$? Keevash, Saks, Sudakov, and Verstraëte defined $\operatorname{ex}_k(n,H)$ to be the maximum total number of edges of the graphs …
Graph Minor project by Robertson and Seymour is perhaps the deepest theory in Graph Theory. It gives a deep structural characterization of graphs without any graph $H$ as a minor. It also gives many exciting algorithmic consequences. In this work, I would like to talk about our attempt to extend Graph minor project to directed …
In a reduction sequence of a graph, vertices are successively identified until the graph has one vertex. At each step, when identifying $u$ and $v$, each edge incident to exactly one of $u$ and $v$ is coloured red. Bonnet, Kim, Thomassé, and Watrigant defined the twin-width of a graph $G$ to be the minimum integer …
Our talk will mainly focus on the relationship between substructures and eigenvalues of graphs. We will briefly survey recent developments on a conjecture of Bollobás and Nikiforov and a classical result of Nosal on triangles. In particular, we shall present counting results for previous spectral theorems on triangles and quadrilaterals. If time allows, we will …
Erdős and Pósa proved in 1965 that there is a duality between the maximum size of a packing of cycles and the minimum size of a vertex set hitting all cycles. We therefore say that cycles satisfy the Erdős-Pósa property. However, while odd cycles do not satisfy the Erdős-Pósa property, Reed proved in 1999 an analogue by …
We prove that there is a function $f : \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}$ such that for every function $g : \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N} \cup \{\infty\}$ with $g(1)=1$ and $g \ge f$, there is a hereditary class of graphs $\mathcal{G}$ such that for each $\omega \in \mathbb{N}$, the maximum chromatic number of a graph in $\mathcal{G}$ with …
An independent dominating set of a graph, also known as a maximal independent set, is a set $S$ of pairwise non-adjacent vertices such that every vertex not in $S$ is adjacent to some vertex in $S$. We prove that for $\Delta=4$ or $\Delta\ge 6$, every connected $n$-vertex graph of maximum degree at most $\Delta$ has …
