Abstract

Let $\mathcal F=\{2K_2,C_4,C_5\}$, so that $\operatorname{Forb}(\mathcal F)$ is the class of split graphs. Resolving a conjecture of Wang and Tang, we prove that the class of split graphs is generalized spectrally closed and that it admits no walk-realizable $\mathcal F$-supporter of any finite order.

Iwasawa theory of (directed) Cayley graphs

In this article, we prove the Defect Conjecture for Cayley graphs of abelian groups, dihedral groups, and groups of the form $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z} \rtimes \mathbb{Z}/(p-1)\mathbb{Z}$ where $p\geq 3$ is a prime. We also compute the Iwasawa invariants of the Bowen--Franks groups associated with these graphs in several...

Counting in Vieta graphs over $\mathbb{F}_p$

We introduce and study a finite simple graph of algebraic origin: the Vieta graph on the solution set over $\mathbb{F}_p$ to a symmetric, multivariate equation which is quadratic in each variable. This construction is a broad generalization of the Markoff graph over $\mathbb{F}_p$, extensively studied in the recent lit...

Failure of the $G_0$-dichotomy for generalized Cantor spaces

Kechris, Solecki and Todor\v{c}evi\'c's $G_0$-dichotomy characterizes Borel graphs that admit a Borel measurable coloring with countably many colors. We show that the analogue to the $G_0$-dichotomy for generalized Cantor spaces fails at the lowest possible complexity, namely for closed graphs.

Brown-Gerver-Ramsey Theorems in Small Dimensions

We consider infinite walks in $\mathbb{N}^k$ with standard unit basis vector steps that avoid $t$ collinear points, and show that these walks exist for $(k,t) \in \{(6,3), (4,4), (3,7)\}$. In particular, our construction for $k = 3$ improves the previous bound $189$, obtained by Lidbetter, to $7$. Our results also impl...

Comeager hereditary families of compact sets are big

Let $X$ be a Polish space and let $\mathcal K(X)$ be its Vietoris hyperspace. A family $\mathcal I\subseteq\mathcal K(X)$ is hereditary if it is downward closed under inclusion. Matheron and Zelen\'y asked whether every comeager hereditary family in $\mathcal K(X)$ contains a dense hereditary $G_\delta$ subfamily. We g...

A finite forbidden family with superlinear surplus and non-join extremal graphs

We give a common counterexample to two product-structure conjectures in extremal graph theory. More precisely, we construct a fixed nonempty finite family $\mathcal L$ with $p(\mathcal L)=2$ such that, for some $c>0$, \[ \operatorname{ex}(n,\mathcal L)>t_2(n)+cn^{3/2} \] for every sufficiently large $n$. Nevertheless,...
