Rödl and Ruciński established Ramsey's theorem for random graphs. In particular, for fixed integers , they showed that is a threshold for the Ramsey property that every -colouring of the edges of the binomial random graph yields a monochromatic copy of . We investigate how this result extends to arbitrary colourings …
In general, random walks on fractal graphs are expected to exhibit anomalous behaviors, for example heat kernel is significantly different from that in the case of lattices. Alexander and Orbach in 1982 conjectured that random walks on critical percolation, a prominent example of fractal graphs, exhibit mean field behavior; for instance, its spectral dimension is …
This talk will first introduce combinatorics on permutations and patterns, presenting the basic notions and some fundamental results: the Marcus-Tardos theorem which bounds the density of matrices avoiding a given pattern, and the Guillemot-Marx algorithm for pattern detection using the notion now known as twin-width. I will then present a decomposition result: permutations avoiding a …
A classical problem in combinatorial geometry, posed by Erdős in 1946, asks to determine the maximum number of unit segments in a set of points in the plane. Since then a great variety of extremal problems in finite planar point sets have been studied. Here, we look at such questions concerning triangles. Among others …
