Pósa's theorem states that any graph G whose degree sequence $d_1\leq \dots \leq d_n$ satisfies $d_i \geq i+1$ for all $i< n/2$ has a Hamilton cycle. This degree condition is best possible. We show that a similar result holds for suitable subgraphs $G$ of random graphs. This is joint work with Padraig Condon, Alberto Espuny …

For a graph $H$, a graph $G$ is $H$-saturated if $G$ does not contain $H$ as a subgraph but for any $e\in E(\overline G)$, $G+e$ contains $H$. In this note, we prove a sharp lower bound for the number of paths and walks on length 2 in $n$-vertex $K_{r+1}$-saturated graphs. We then use this bound to give a …

A well-known theorem of Whitney states that a 3-connected planar graph admits an essentially unique embedding into the 2-sphere. We prove a 3-dimensional analogue: a simply-connected 2-complex every link graph of which is 3-connected admits an essentially unique locally flat embedding into the 3-sphere, if it admits one at all. This can be thought of …

The Ramsey number $R(F,H)$ is the minimum number $N$ such that any $N$-vertex graph either contains a copy of $F$ or its complement contains $H$. Burr in 1981 proved a pleasingly general result that for any graph $H$, provided $n$ is sufficiently large, a natural lower bound construction gives the correct Ramsey number involving cycles: …
