Hamiltonicity problems in random graphs
In this thesis, we present some of the main results proved by the author while fulfilling his PhD. While we present all the relevant results in the introduction of the thesis, we have chosen to focus on two of the main ones.
First, we show a very recent development about Hamiltonicity in random subgraphs of the hypercube, where we have resolved a long standing conjecture dating back to the 1980s.
Second, we present some original results about correlations between the appearance of edges in random regular hypergraphs, which have many applications in the study of subgraphs of random regular hypergraphs. In particular, these applications include subgraph counts and property testing
Packing and embedding large subgraphs
This thesis contains several embedding results for graphs in both random and non random settings.
Most notably, we resolve a long standing conjecture that the threshold probability for Hamiltonicity in the random binomial subgraph of the hypercube equals . %posed e.g.~by Bollob\'as,
In Chapter 2 we obtain the following perturbation result regarding the hypercube \cQ^n:
if H\subseteq\cQ^n satisfies with fixed and we consider a random binomial subgraph \cQ^n_p of \cQ^n with fixed, then with high probability H\cup\cQ^n_p contains edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles, for any fixed .
This result is part of a larger volume of work where we also prove the corresponding hitting time result for Hamiltonicity.
In Chapter 3 we move to a non random setting. %to a deterministic one.
%Instead of embedding a single Hamilton cycle our result concerns packing more general families of graphs into a fixed host graph.
Rather than pack a small number of Hamilton cycles into a fixed host graph, our aim is to achieve optimally sized packings of more general families of graphs.
More specifically, we provide a degree condition on a regular -vertex graph which ensures the existence of a near optimal packing of any family of bounded degree -vertex -chromatic separable graphs into .
%In general, this degree condition is best possible.
%In particular, this yields an approximate version of the tree packing conjecture
%in the setting of regular host graphs of high degree.
%Similarly, our result implies approximate versions of the Oberwolfach problem,
%the Alspach problem and the existence of resolvable designs in the setting of
%regular host graphs of high degree.
In particular, this yields approximate versions of the the tree packing conjecture, the Oberwolfach problem,
the Alspach problem and the existence of resolvable designs in the setting of regular host graphs of high degree
