Abstract

Let $C_{2s}^{\mathrm{ad}}$ be the anti-directed cycle of length $2s$, where $s\geq2$. We prove that, for every $\mu>0$, every sufficiently large $n$-vertex oriented graph $D$ with $2s\mid n$, \[ \delta^0(D)\geq\left(\frac14+\mu\right)n \qquad\text{and}\qquad \alpha(D)=o(n) \] contains a $C_{2s}^{\mathrm{ad}}$-factor. The minimum semidegree threshold is asymptotically tight. The proof develops Ramsey--Tur\'an-type lattice-absorption lemmas with a transferral arising from the small-independence condition by virtue of a fork-type structure.

The Prescribed-Vertex Semidegree Threshold for Directed $3q$-Cycles in Oriented Graphs

For every $q\ge2$, we prove that every oriented graph $G$ on $n\ge45q-8$ vertices whose minimum semidegree satisfies \[ \delta^0(G)\ge \left\lceil\frac n3\right\rceil \] contains a directed cycle of length $3q$ through every vertex. The semidegree bound is sharp. This closes the one-unit gap left by the prescribed-vert...

Dominant-Degree Conditions for Ramsey--Tur\'an Factors of Non-Directed Cycle Orientations

Let $\Cvec$ be a fixed orientation of the cycle $C_\ell$, $\ell\ge3$, which is not directed. For an oriented graph $D$, let $d_D^*(v):=\max\{d_D^+(v),d_D^-(v)\},$ and let \[ \sigore(D):=\min\bigl\{d_D^*(x)+d_D^*(y):x\ne y,\ xy,yx\notin A(D)\bigr\}, \] with $\sigore(D)=\infty$ if the underlying graph of $D$ is complete....

MAD Phase Transitions in the Oriented Chromatic Number

For an oriented graph $G$ the oriented chromatic number of $G$, written $\chi_o(G)$, is the least integer $t$ such that $G$ has a homomorphism to a tournament on $t$ vertices. The oriented chromatic number of a simple graph $H$ is the maximum oriented chromatic number over all orientations of $H$. Borodin, Kostochka, N...

Supersaturation of induced even cycles in locally sparse graphs

A graph $\Gamma$ is $(c,t)$-sparse for $c>0$ and $t \ge 1$ if for every pair of vertex subsets $A, B \subseteq V(\Gamma)$ with $|A|, |B| \ge t$, the number of edges $e(A,B)$ between them satisfies $ e(A,B) \le (1 - c)|A||B|$. In this paper, we prove that for every integer $\ell\ge2$, there are $\varepsilon>0, C, C'>0$...

Any $k$-graph with zero $\ell$-degree Tur\'an density is layered

The codegree Tur\'an density $\pi_{\mathrm{co}}(F)$ is the supremum over all $\gamma \in [0,1)$ such that, for arbitrarily large $n$, there exists an $n$-vertex $F$-free $k$-graph $H$ whose every $(k-1)$-subset of vertices lies in at least $\gamma n$ edges. Ding, Lamaison, Liu, Wang, and Yang (JLMS, 2025) studied the p...

Locally bipartite subgraphs via multicolor Ramsey numbers

A famous conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal (1969) states that for every integer $g\ge 4$ there is a smallest function $f_g:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}$ such that every graph of chromatic number at least $f_g(k)$ contains a subgraph of chromatic number $k$ and girth at least $g$. So far, this has only been proved for $g=4$...
