Spanning embeddings of arrangeable graphs with sublinear bandwidth
The Bandwidth Theorem of B\"ottcher, Schacht and Taraz [Mathematische Annalen
343 (1), 175-205] gives minimum degree conditions for the containment of
spanning graphs H with small bandwidth and bounded maximum degree. We
generalise this result to a-arrangeable graphs H with \Delta(H)<sqrt(n)/log(n),
where n is the number of vertices of H.
Our result implies that sufficiently large n-vertex graphs G with minimum
degree at least (3/4+\gamma)n contain almost all planar graphs on n vertices as
subgraphs. Using techniques developed by Allen, Brightwell and Skokan
[Combinatorica, to appear] we can also apply our methods to show that almost
all planar graphs H have Ramsey number at most 12|H|. We obtain corresponding
results for graphs embeddable on different orientable surfaces.Comment: 20 page
An Extension of Ramsey\u27s Theorem to Multipartite Graphs
Ramsey Theorem, in the most simple form, states that if we are given a positive integer l, there exists a minimal integer r(l), called the Ramsey number, such any partition of the edges of K_r(l) into two sets, i.e. a 2-coloring, yields a copy of K_l contained entirely in one of the partitioned sets, i.e. a monochromatic copy of Kl. We prove an extension of Ramsey\u27s Theorem, in the more general form, by replacing complete graphs by multipartite graphs in both senses, as the partitioned set and as the desired monochromatic graph. More formally, given integers l and k, there exists an integer p(m) such that any 2-coloring of the edges of the complete multipartite graph K_p(m);r(k) yields a monochromatic copy of K_m;k . The tools that are used to prove this result are the Szemeredi Regularity Lemma and the Blow Up Lemma. A full proof of the Regularity Lemma is given. The Blow-Up Lemma is merely stated, but other graph embedding results are given. It is also shown that certain embedding conditions on classes of graphs, namely (f , ?) -embeddability, provides a method to bound the order of the multipartite Ramsey numbers on the graphs. This provides a method to prove that a large class of graphs, including trees, graphs of bounded degree, and planar graphs, has a linear bound, in terms of the number of vertices, on the multipartite Ramsey number
Two Approaches to Sidorenko's Conjecture
Sidorenko's conjecture states that for every bipartite graph on
, holds, where is the
Lebesgue measure on and is a bounded, non-negative, symmetric,
measurable function on . An equivalent discrete form of the conjecture
is that the number of homomorphisms from a bipartite graph to a graph
is asymptotically at least the expected number of homomorphisms from to the
Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graph with the same expected edge density as . In
this paper, we present two approaches to the conjecture. First, we introduce
the notion of tree-arrangeability, where a bipartite graph with bipartition
is tree-arrangeable if neighborhoods of vertices in have a
certain tree-like structure. We show that Sidorenko's conjecture holds for all
tree-arrangeable bipartite graphs. In particular, this implies that Sidorenko's
conjecture holds if there are two vertices in such that each
vertex satisfies or ,
and also implies a recent result of Conlon, Fox, and Sudakov \cite{CoFoSu}.
Second, if is a tree and is a bipartite graph satisfying Sidorenko's
conjecture, then it is shown that the Cartesian product of and
also satisfies Sidorenko's conjecture. This result implies that, for all , the -dimensional grid with arbitrary side lengths satisfies
Sidorenko's conjecture.Comment: 20 pages, 2 figure
Monochromatic bounded degree subgraph partitions
Abstract Let F = {F1,F2,...} be a sequence of graphs such that Fn is a graph on n vertices with maximum degree at most Δ. We show that there exists an absolute constant C such that the vertices of any 2-edge-colored complete graph can be partitioned into at most 2CΔlogΔ vertex disjoint monochromatic copies of graphs from F. If each Fn is bipartite, then we can improve this bound to 2CΔ; this result is optimal up to the constant C. © 2015 Elsevier B.V
