Bounded colorings of multipartite graphs and hypergraphs
Let be an edge-coloring of the complete -vertex graph . The
problem of finding properly colored and rainbow Hamilton cycles in was
initiated in 1976 by Bollob\'as and Erd\H os and has been extensively studied
since then. Recently it was extended to the hypergraph setting by Dudek, Frieze
and Ruci\'nski. We generalize these results, giving sufficient local (resp.
global) restrictions on the colorings which guarantee a properly colored (resp.
rainbow) copy of a given hypergraph .
We also study multipartite analogues of these questions. We give (up to a
constant factor) optimal sufficient conditions for a coloring of the
complete balanced -partite graph to contain a properly colored or rainbow
copy of a given graph with maximum degree . Our bounds exhibit a
surprising transition in the rate of growth, showing that the problem is
fundamentally different in the regimes and Our
main tool is the framework of Lu and Sz\'ekely for the space of random
bijections, which we extend to product spaces
Unavoidable patterns in locally balanced colourings
Which patterns must a two-colouring of contain if each vertex has at
least red and blue neighbours? In this paper,
we investigate this question and its multicolour variant. For instance, we show
that any such graph contains a -blow-up of an \textit{alternating 4-cycle}

The Tur\'an density of tight cycles in three-uniform hypergraphs
The Tur\'an density of an -uniform hypergraph , denoted
, is the limit of the maximum density of an -vertex
-uniform hypergraph not containing a copy of , as .
Denote by the -uniform tight cycle on
vertices. Mubayi and R\"odl gave an ``iterated blow-up'' construction showing
that the Tur\'an density of is at least , and this bound is conjectured to be tight. Their construction also does
not contain for larger not divisible by , which
suggests that it might be the extremal construction for these hypergraphs as
well. Here, we determine the Tur\'an density of for all
large not divisible by , showing that indeed . To our knowledge, this is the first example of a Tur\'an
density being determined where the extremal construction is an iterated blow-up
construction.
A key component in our proof, which may be of independent interest, is a
-uniform analogue of the statement ``a graph is bipartite if and only if it
does not contain an odd cycle''.Comment: 34 pages, 4 figures (final version accepted to IMRN plus a few

Towards a characterisation of Sidorenko systems
A system of linear forms over is said
to be Sidorenko if the number of solutions to in any is asymptotically as at least the expected
number of solutions in a random set of the same density. Work of Saad and Wolf
(2017) and of Fox, Pham and Zhao (2019) fully characterises single equations
with this property and both sets of authors ask about a characterisation of
Sidorenko systems of equations.
In this paper, we make progress towards this goal. Firstly, we find a simple
necessary condition for a system to be Sidorenko, thus providing a rich family
of non-Sidorenko systems. In the opposite direction, we find a large family of
structured Sidorenko systems, by utilising the entropy method. We also make
significant progress towards a full classification of systems of two equations.Comment: 18 page
