Graph structure via local occupancy

E Davies, RJ Kang, F Pirot, JS Sereni - arxiv preprint arxiv:2003.14361, 2020 - arxiv.org
The first author together with Jenssen, Perkins and Roberts (2017) recently showed how
local properties of the hard-core model on triangle-free graphs guarantee the existence of …

Dense induced bipartite subgraphs in triangle-free graphs

M Kwan, S Letzter, B Sudakov, T Tran - Combinatorica, 2020 - Springer
The problem of finding dense induced bipartite subgraphs in H-free graphs has a long
history, and was posed 30 years ago by Erdős, Faudree, Pach and Spencer. In this paper …

Separation choosability and dense bipartite induced subgraphs

L Esperet, RJ Kang, S Thomassé - Combinatorics, Probability and …, 2019 - cambridge.org
We study a restricted form of list colouring, for which every pair of lists that correspond to
adjacent vertices may not share more than one colour. The optimal list size such that a …

Chromatic number and regular subgraphs

B Janzer, R Steiner, B Sudakov - arxiv preprint arxiv:2410.02437, 2024 - arxiv.org
In 1992, Erd\H {o} s and Hajnal posed the following natural problem: Does there exist, for
every $ r\in\mathbb {N} $, an integer $ F (r) $ such that every graph with chromatic number at …

1-subdivisions, the fractional chromatic number and the Hall ratio

Z Dvořák, PO de Mendez, H Wu - Combinatorica, 2020 - Springer
The Hall ratio of a graph G is the maximum of| V (H)|/α (H) over all subgraphs H of G. It is
easy to see that the Hall ratio of a graph is a lower bound for the fractional chromatic …

Triangle Ramsey numbers of complete graphs

J Fox, J Tidor, S Zhang - arxiv preprint arxiv:2312.06895, 2023 - arxiv.org
A graph is $ H $-Ramsey if every two-coloring of its edges contains a monochromatic copy
of $ H $. Define the $ F $-Ramsey number of $ H $, denoted by $ r_F (H) $, to be the …

Local Shearer bound

A Martinsson, R Steiner - arxiv preprint arxiv:2501.00567, 2024 - arxiv.org
We prove the following local strengthening of Shearer's classic bound on the independence
number of triangle-free graphs: For every triangle-free graph $ G $ there exists a probability …

Counterexamples to a conjecture of Harris on Hall ratio

A Blumenthal, B Lidicky, RR Martin, S Norin… - SIAM Journal on Discrete …, 2022 - SIAM
The Hall ratio of a graph G is the maximum value of v(H)/α(H) taken over all non-null
subgraphs H⊆G. For any graph, the Hall ratio is a lower-bound on its fractional chromatic …

Triangle-free -degenerate graphs have small fractional chromatic number

A Martinsson - arxiv preprint arxiv:2501.18238, 2025 - arxiv.org
A well-known conjecture by Harris states that any triangle-free $ d $-degenerate graph has
fractional chromatic number at most $ O\left (\frac {d}{\ln d}\right) $. This conjecture has …

On graphs with no induced bull and no induced diamond

S Mishra - arxiv e-prints, 2021 - ui.adsabs.harvard.edu
A bull is the graph obtained by adding two pendant edges at different vertices of a triangle. A
diamond is the graph obtained from a $ K_4 $ by deleting an edge. In this paper, we study …
