Generalized extremal problems have been one of the central topics of study in extremal combinatorics throughout the last few decades. One such simple-looking problem, maximizing the number of cliques of a fixed order in a graph with a fixed number of vertices and given maximum degree, was recently resolved by Chase. Settling a conjecture of …
In 1943, Hadwiger conjectured that every graph with no $K_t$ minor is $(t-1)$-colorable for every $t\ge 1$. In the 1980s, Kostochka and Thomason independently proved that every graph with no $K_t$ minor has average degree $O(t\sqrt{\log t})$ and hence is $O(t\sqrt{\log t})$-colorable. Recently, Norin, Song and I showed that every graph with no $K_t$ minor is …
Let $G$ be a graph on the vertex set $V$. A vertex subset $W \subset V$ is a cover of $G$ if $V \setminus W$ is an independent set of $G$, and $W$ is a non-cover of $G$ if $W$ is not a cover of $G$. The non-cover complex of $G$ is a simplicial complex …
We study the Excluded Grid Theorem, a fundamental structural result in graph theory, that was proved by Robertson and Seymour in their seminal work on graph minors. The theorem states that there is a function $f$, such that for every integer $g > 0$, every graph of treewidth at least $f(g)$ contains the g×g-grid as a minor. For every …
Let $G$ be a graph on $V$ and $n$ a positive integer. Let $I_n(G)$ be the abstract simplicial complex whose faces are the subsets of $V$ that do not contain an independent set of size $n$ in $G$. We study the collapsibility numbers of $I_n(G)$ for various classes of graphs, focusing on the class of …
