Abstract

It is shown in this manuscript that a random graph $G$ drawn from the Erd\H{o}s--R\'{e}nyi model $\mathcal{G}(n,p)$ with \[ p=p(n)\leq 1/2, \qquad \lim_{n\to+\infty}(np-\log n-\log\log n)=+\infty, \] is a homomorphic core, i.e., every homomorphism from $G$ to itself is an automorphism. This implies tight ETH-based lower bounds of the subgraph isomorphism problem for almost all $k$-vertex patterns with polynomial average degree.

Erd\H{o}s-P\'{o}sa property for induced packings of long $S$-cycles

The Erd\H{o}s-P\'{o}sa theorem states that for every integer $k\geq1$, every graph contains either $k$ vertex-disjoint cycles or a set of $\mathcal{O}(k\log k)$ vertices meeting all cycles. This fundamental min-max duality has been extended to numerous settings, including long cycles, $S$-cycles, that is, cycles contai...

Erd\H{o}s--Ko--Rado and Hilton--Milner Theorems in the Partition Lattice

Let $M_n=M(K_{n+1})$ be the graphic matroid of the complete graph, and let $\mathcal{F}_k(M_n)$ be its rank-$k$ flats. We study families $\mathcal{A}\subseteq\mathcal{F}_k(M_n)$ satisfying $\mathrm{rk}(A\wedge B)\ge t$ for all $A,B\in\mathcal{A}$. For $t=1$, this problem is exactly equivalent to Czabarka's partition-EK...

Bernoulli flow for Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graphs

We study the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the adjacency matrix $A$ of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph $\mathbb G(N,p)$ in the regime $Np \gg (\log N)^2$. We establish optimal isotropic delocalization for the bulk eigenvectors $\boldsymbol u$, meaning that $\langle \boldsymbol v, \boldsymbol u\rangle^2 \leq \frac{C \log...

On the large-clique version of the Erd˝os-S´os conjecture

For graphs $H$ and $F$, let $\operatorname{ex}(n,H,F)$ denote the maximum number of copies of $H$ in an $F$-free graph of order $n$. Motivated by the Erd\H{o}s-S\'{o}s conjecture, Gerbner and Palmer and, independently, Zhao and Peng conjectured that for every tree $T$ of order $k$ and every $3\le r\le k-1$, $$\operator...

Large Cliques and Clique Spectral Radius in the Erd\H{o}s--S\'{o}s Problem

For graphs $H$ and $F$, let $ex(n,H,F)$ be the maximum number of copies of $H$ in an $n$-vertex $F$-free graph. We study this problem when $H$ is a clique and $F=T_t$which is a fixed tree on $t$ vertices. The Erd\H{o}s--S\'{o}s conjecture concerns the value of $ex(n,K_2, T_t)$. Gerbner and Palmer proposed a more genera...

The Erd\H{o}s--Hajnal hypergraph Ramsey problem for $r_4(6,n)$

The Ramsey number $r_k(s,n)$ is the smallest integer $N$ such that every $N$-vertex $k$-graph contains either a copy of $K_s^{(k)}$ or an independent set of size $n$. Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal conjectured that for every fixed $s>k\ge 4$, one has $r_k(s,n)\ge \operatorname{twr}_{k-1}(\Omega(n))$. This conjecture was independ...
