The history of degenerate (bipartite) extremal graph problems

This paper is a survey on Extremal Graph Theory, primarily focusing on the case when one of the excluded graphs is bipartite. On one hand we give an introduction to this field and also describe many important results, methods, problems, and constructions.Comment: 97 pages, 11 figures, many problems. This is the preliminary version of our survey presented in Erdos 100. In this version 2 only a citation was complete

The Riemann zeros as spectrum and the Riemann hypothesis

We present a spectral realization of the Riemann zeros based on the propagation of a massless Dirac fermion in a region of Rindler spacetime and under the action of delta function potentials localized on the square free integers. The corresponding Hamiltonian admits a self-adjoint extension that is tuned to the phase of the zeta function, on the critical line, in order to obtain the Riemann zeros as bound states. The model suggests a proof of the Riemann hypothesis in the limit where the potentials vanish. Finally, we propose an interferometer that may yield an experimental observation of the Riemann zeros.Comment: 33 pages, 17 figures, new abstract, simplification of several sections, changes of reference
