  text: "One of the foundational theorems of extremal graph theory is Dirac’s theorem,
    which\r\nsays that if an n-vertex graph G has minimum degree at least n/2, then
    G has a\r\nHamilton cycle, and therefore a perfect matching (if n is even). Later
    work by Sárközy,\r\nSelkow and Szemerédi showed that in fact Dirac graphs have
    many Hamilton cycles\r\nand perfect matchings, culminating in a result of Cuckler
    and Kahn that gives a precise\r\ndescription of the numbers of Hamilton cycles
    and perfect matchings in a Dirac graph\r\nG (in terms of an entropy-like parameter
    of G). In this paper we extend Cuckler\r\nand Kahn’s result to perfect matchings
    in hypergraphs. For positive integers d < k,\r\nand for n divisible by k, let
    md (k, n) be the minimum d-degree that ensures the\r\nexistence of a perfect matching
    in an n-vertex k-uniform hypergraph. In general, it is\r\nan open question to
    determine (even asymptotically) the values of md (k, n), but we are\r\nnonetheless
    able to prove an analogue of the Cuckler–Kahn theorem, showing that if\r\nan n-vertex
    k-uniform hypergraph G has minimum d-degree at least (1+γ )md (k, n)\r\n(for any
    constantγ > 0), then the number of perfect matchings in G is controlled by\r\nan
    entropy-like parameter of G. This strengthens cruder estimates arising from work\r\nof
    Kang–Kelly–Kühn–Osthus–Pfenninger and Pham–Sah–Sawhney–Simkin."

  text: "We show that a randomly perturbed digraph, where we start with a dense digraph
    Dα and add a small number of random edges to it, will typically contain a fixed
    orientation of a bounded-degree spanning tree. This answers a question posed by
    Araujo, Balogh, Krueger, Piga and Treglown and generalizes the corresponding result
    for randomly perturbed graphs by Krivelevich, Kwan and Sudakov. More specifically,
    we prove that there exists a constant c=c(α,Δ) such that if \r\nT is an oriented
    tree with maximum degree Δ and Dα is an n-vertex digraph with minimum semidegree
    αn, then the graph obtained by adding cn uniformly random edges to Dα will contain
    T with high probability."

  text: "We show that if n is odd and p>=Clog n/n, then with high probability Hamilton
    cycles in G(n,p) span its cycle space. More generally, we show this holds for
    a class of graphs satisfying certain natural pseudorandom properties. The proof
    is based on a novel idea of parity-switchers, which can be thought of as analogues
    of absorbers in the context of cycle spaces. As another application of our method,
    we show that Hamilton cycles in a near-Dirac graph G, that is, a graph G with
    odd n vertices and minimum degree n/2+C for sufficiently large constant C, span
    its cycle space.\r\n"

  text: 'In his study of graph codes, Alon introduced the concept of the odd-Ramsey
    number of a family of graphs H in Kn, defined as the minimum number of colours
    needed to colour the edges of K so that every copy of a graph H E H intersects
    some colour class in an odd number of edges. In this paper, we focus on complete
    bipartite graphs. First, we completely resolve the problem when H is the family
    of all spanning complete bipartite graphs on n vertices. We then focus on its
    subfamilies, that is, {Kt,n-t : t E T} for a fixed set of integers T c [[n/2]].
    We prove that the odd-Ramsey problem is equivalent to determining the maximum
    dimension of a linear binary code avoiding codewords of given weights, and leverage
    known results from coding theory to deduce asymptotically tight bounds in our
    setting. We conclude with bounds for the odd-Ramsey numbers of fixed (that is,
    non-spanning) complete bipartite subgraphs.'

  text: Two landmark results in combinatorial random matrix theory, due to Komlós
    and Costello–Tao–Vu, show that discrete random matrices and symmetric discrete
    random matrices are typically nonsingular. In particular, in the language of graph
    theory, when p is a fixed constant, the biadjacency matrix of a random Erdős–Rényi
    bipartite graph G(n,n,p) and the adjacency matrix of an Erdős–Rényi random graph
    G(n,p) are both nonsingular with high probability. However, very sparse random
    graphs (i.e., where p is allowed to decay rapidly with n) are typically singular,
    due to the presence of “local” dependencies such as isolated vertices and pairs
    of degree-1 vertices with the same neighbour. In this paper, we give a combinatorial
    description of the rank of a sparse random graph G(n,n,c/n) or G(n,c/n) in terms
    of such local dependencies, for all constants c=e (and we present some evidence
    that the situation is very different for c=e). This gives an essentially complete
    answer to a question raised by Vu (2014). As applications of our main theorem
    and its proof, we also determine the asymptotic singularity probability of the
    2-core of a sparse random graph, we show that the rank of a sparse random graph
    is extremely well approximated by its matching number, and we deduce a central
    limit theorem for the rank of G(n,c/n).

  text: "Consider a quadratic polynomial Q(ξ1, . . . , ξn) of independent Rademacher
    random variables ξ1, . . . , ξn. To what extent can Q(ξ1, . . . , ξn) concentrate
    on a single value? This quadratic version of the classical Littlewood–Offord problem
    was popularised by Costello, Tao and Vu in their study of symmetric random matrices.
    In this paper, we obtain an essentially optimal bound for this problem, as conjectured
    by Nguyen and Vu. Specifically, if Q(ξ1, . . . , ξn) ‘robustly depends on at least
    m of the ξi’ in the sense that there is no way to pin down the value of Q(ξ1,
    . . . , ξn) by fixing values for fewer than m of the variables ξi, then we have
    Pr[Q(ξ1, . . . , ξn) = 0] ≤ O(1/√m). This also implies a similar result in the
    case where ξ1, . . . , ξn have arbitrary distributions. Our proof combines a number
    of ideas that may be of independent interest, including an inductive decoupling
    scheme that reduces quadratic anticoncentration problems\r\nto high-dimensional
    linear anticoncentration problems. Also, one application of our main result is
    the resolution of a conjecture of Alon, Hefetz, Krivelevich and Tyomkyn related
    to graph inducibility. "

    the \emph{mth power} of G as the graph on vertex set V where we connect every
    pair of vertices at distance at most m in G. In this paper, we study the chromatic
    number of powers of subdivisions of graphs and resolve the case m=n asymptotically.
    In particular, our result confirms a conjecture of Mozafari-Nia and Iradmusa in
    the case m=n=3 in a strong sense.

  text: "We continue a line of research which studies which hereditary families of
    digraphs have bounded dichromatic number. For a class of digraphs  C, a hero in
    \ C  is any digraph  H\r\n  such that  H -free digraphs in  C  have bounded dichromatic
    number. We show that if  F\r\n  is an oriented star of degree at least five, the
    only heroes for the class of  F -free digraphs are transitive tournaments. For
    oriented stars  F  of degree exactly four, we show the only heroes in  F -free
    digraphs are transitive tournaments, or possibly special joins of transitive tournaments.
    Aboulker et al. characterized the set of heroes of  {H,K1+P2→} -free digraphs
    almost completely, and we show the same characterization for the class of  {H,rK1+P3→}
    -free digraphs. Lastly, we show that if we forbid two \"valid\" orientations of
    brooms, then every transitive tournament is a hero for this class of digraphs."

  text: "A k-subcolouring of a graph G is a function f : V (G) → {0,...,k − 1} such
    that the set of\r\nvertices coloured i induce a disjoint union of cliques. The
    subchromatic number, χsub(G),\r\nis the minimum k such that G admits a k-subcolouring.
    Nešetril, ˇ Ossona de Mendez,\r\nPilipczuk, and Zhu (2020), recently raised the
    problem of finding tight upper bounds for\r\nχsub(G2) when G is planar. We show
    that χsub(G2) ≤ 43 when G is planar, improving\r\ntheir bound of 135. We give
    even better bounds when the planar graph G has larger girth.\r\nMoreover, we show
    that χsub(G3) ≤ 95, improving the previous bound of 364. For these\r\nwe adapt
    some recent techniques of Almulhim and Kierstead (2022), while also extending\r\nthe
    decompositions of triangulated planar graphs of Van den Heuvel, Ossona de Mendez,\r\nQuiroz,
    Rabinovich and Siebertz (2017), to planar graphs of arbitrary girth. Note that
    these\r\ndecompositions are the precursors of the graph product structure theorem
    of planar graphs.\r\nWe give improved bounds for χsub(Gp) for all p ≥ 2, whenever
    G has bounded treewidth,\r\nbounded simple treewidth, bounded genus, or excludes
    a clique or biclique as a minor.\r\nFor this we introduce a family of parameters
    which form a gradation between the strong\r\nand the weak colouring numbers. We
    give upper bounds for these parameters for graphs\r\ncoming from such classes.\r\nFinally,
    we give a 2-approximation algorithm for the subchromatic number of graphs\r\nhaving
    a layering in which each layer has bounded cliquewidth and this layering is\r\ncomputable
    in polynomial time (like the class of all dth powers of planar graphs, for fixed\r\nd).
    This algorithm works even if the power p and the graph G is unknown."

  version of Theorem 3.1. We also thank an anonymous referee for pointing out numerous

  text: "Let f(r)(n;s,k) denote the maximum number of edges in an n-vertex r-uniform
    hypergraph containing no subgraph with k edges and at most s vertices. Brown,
    Erdős and Sós [New directions in the theory of graphs (Proc. Third Ann Arbor Conf.,
    Univ. Michigan 1971), pp. 53--63, Academic Press 1973] conjectured that the limit
    limn→∞n−2f(3)(n;k+2,k) exists for all k. The value of the limit was previously
    determined for k=2 in the original paper of Brown, Erdős and Sós, for k=3 by Glock
    [Bull. Lond. Math. Soc. 51 (2019) 230--236] and for k=4 by Glock, Joos, Kim, Kühn,
    Lichev and Pikhurko [arXiv:2209.14177, accepted by Proc. Amer. Math. Soc.] while
    Delcourt and Postle [arXiv:2210.01105, accepted by Proc. Amer. Math. Soc.] proved
    the conjecture (without determining the limiting value).\r\nIn this paper, we
    determine the value of the limit in the Brown-Erdős-Sós Problem for k∈{5,6,7}.
    More generally, we obtain the value of limn→∞n−2f(r)(n;rk−2k+2,k) for all r≥3
    and k∈{5,6,7}. In addition, by combining these new values with recent results
    of Bennett, Cushman and Dudek [arXiv:2309.00182] we obtain new asymptotic values
    for several generalised Ramsey numbers."

  text: "The online semi-random graph process is a one-player game which starts with
    the empty graph on n vertices. At every round, a player (called Builder) is presented
    with a vertex v chosen uniformly at random and independently from previous rounds,
    and constructs an edge of their choice that is incident to v. Inspired by recent
    advances on the semi-random graph process, we define a family of generalized online
    semi-random models.\r\nWe analyse a particular instance that shares similar features
    with the original semi-random graph process and determine the hitting times of
    the classical graph properties minimum degree k,k-connectivity, containment of
    a perfect matching, a Hamiltonian cycle and an \r\nH-factor for a fixed graph
    H possessing an additional tree-like property. Along the way, we derive a few
    consequences of the famous Aldous-Broder algorithm that may be of independent
    interest."

  text: The size-Ramsey number r^(H) of a graph H is the smallest number of edges
    a (host) graph G can have, such that for any red/blue colouring of G, there is
    a monochromatic copy of H in G. Recently, Conlon, Nenadov and Trujić showed that
    if H is a graph on n vertices and maximum degree three, then r^(H)=O(n8/5), improving
    upon the upper bound of n5/3+o(1) by Kohayakawa, Rödl, Schacht and Szemerédi.
    In this paper we show that r^(H)≤n3/2+o(1). While the previously used host graphs
    were vanilla binomial random graphs, we prove our result using a novel host graph
    construction. Our bound hits a natural barrier of the existing methods.

  text: An ordered r-matching is an r-uniform hypergraph matching equipped with an
    ordering on its vertices. These objects can be viewed as natural generalisations
    of r-dimensional orders. The theory of ordered 2-matchings is well developed and
    has connections and applications to extremal and enumerative combinatorics, probability
    and geometry. On the other hand, in the case  r≥3 much less is known, largely
    due to a lack of powerful bijective tools. Recently, Dudek, Grytczuk and Ruciński
    made some first steps towards a general theory of ordered r-matchings, and in
    this paper we substantially improve several of their results and introduce some
    new directions of study. Many intriguing open questions remain.

  text: Let μ(G) denote the minimum number of edges whose addition to G results in
    a Hamiltonian graph, and let μ^(G) denote the minimum number of edges whose addition
    to G results in a pancyclic graph. We study the distributions of μ(G),μ^(G) in
    the context of binomial random graphs. Letting d=d(n):=n⋅p, we prove that there
    exists a function f:R+→[0,1] of order f(d)=12de−d+e−d+O(d6e−3d) such that, if
    G∼G(n,p) with 20≤d(n)≤0.4logn, then with high probability μ(G)=(1+o(1))⋅f(d)⋅n.
    Let ni(G) denote the number of degree i vertices in G. A trivial lower bound on
    μ(G) is given by the expression n0(G)+⌈12n1(G)⌉. In the denser regime of random
    graphs, we show that if np−13logn−2loglogn→∞ and G∼G(n,p) then, with high probability,
    μ(G)=n0(G)+⌈12n1(G)⌉. For completion to pancyclicity, we show that if G∼G(n,p)
    and np≥20 then, with high probability, μ^(G)=μ(G). Finally, we present a polynomial
    time algorithm such that, if G∼G(n,p) and np≥20, then, with high probability,
    the algorithm returns a set of edges of size μ(G) whose addition to G results
    in a pancyclic (and therefore also Hamiltonian) graph.

  text: "A tantalizing open problem, posed independently by Stiebitz in 1995 and by
    Alon in 1996 and again in 2006, asks whether for every pair of integers  s,t≥1
    there exists a finite number  F(s,t)\r\nsuch that the vertex set of every digraph
    of minimum out-degree at least  F(s,t) can be partitioned into non-empty parts
    \ A  and  B  such that the subdigraphs induced on  A\r\n  and  B  have minimum
    out-degree at least  s  and  t , respectively.\r\nIn this short note, we prove
    that if  F(2,2)  exists, then all the numbers  F(s,t)  with  s,t≥1\r\n  exist
    and satisfy  F(s,t)=Θ(s+t) . In consequence, the problem of Alon and Stiebitz
    reduces to the case  s=t=2 . Moreover, the numbers  F(s,t)  with  s,t≥2  either
    all exist and grow linearly, or all of them do not exist."

  text: We consider random two-player zero-sum dynamic games with perfect information
    on a class of infinite directed graphs. Starting from a fixed vertex, the players
    take turns to move a token along the edges of the graph. Every vertex is assigned
    a payoff known in advance by both players. Every time the token visits a vertex,
    Player 2 pays Player 1 the corresponding payoff. We consider a distribution over
    such games by assigning i.i.d. payoffs to the vertices. On the one hand, for acyclic
    directed graphs of bounded degree and sub-exponential expansion, we show that,
    when the duration of the game tends to infinity, the value converges almost surely
    to a constant at an exponential rate dominated in terms of the expansion. On the
    other hand, for the infinite d-ary tree (that does not fall into the previous
    class of graphs), we show convergence at a double-exponential rate.

  text: 'In 1981, Karp and Sipser proved a law of large numbers for the matching number
    of a sparse Erdős–Rényi random graph, in an influential paper pioneering the so-called
    differential equation method for analysis of random graph processes. Strengthening
    this classical result, and answering a question of Aronson, Frieze and Pittel,
    we prove a central limit theorem in the same setting: the fluctuations in the
    matching number of a sparse random graph are asymptotically Gaussian. Our new
    contribution is to prove this central limit theorem in the subcritical and critical
    regimes, according to a celebrated algorithmic phase transition first observed
    by Karp and Sipser. Indeed, in the supercritical regime, a central limit theorem
    has recently been proved in the PhD thesis of Kreačić, using a stochastic generalisation
    of the differential equation method (comparing the so-called Karp–Sipser process
    to a system of stochastic differential equations). Our proof builds on these methods,
    and introduces new techniques to handle certain degeneracies present in the subcritical
    and critical cases. Curiously, our new techniques lead to a non-constructive result:
    we are able to characterise the fluctuations of the matching number around its
    mean, despite these fluctuations being much smaller than the error terms in our
    best estimates of the mean. We also prove a central limit theorem for the rank
    of the adjacency matrix of a sparse random graph.'

  text: "MaxCut is a classical NP-complete problem and a crucial building block in
    many\r\ncombinatorial algorithms. The famousEdwards-Erdös bound states that any
    connected\r\ngraph on n vertices with m edges contains a cut of size at least
    m/2 + n−1/4 . Crowston,\r\nJones and Mnich [Algorithmica, 2015] showed that the
    MaxCut problem on simple\r\nconnected graphs admits an FPT algorithm, where the
    parameter k is the difference\r\nbetween the desired cut size c and the lower
    bound given by the Edwards-Erdös\r\nbound. This was later improved by Etscheid
    and Mnich [Algorithmica, 2017] to run\r\nin parameterized linear time, i.e., f
    (k) · O(m). We improve upon this result in two\r\nways: Firstly, we extend the
    algorithm to work also for multigraphs (alternatively,\r\ngraphs with positive
    integer weights). Secondly, we change the parameter; instead of\r\nthe difference
    to the Edwards-Erdös bound, we use the difference to the Poljak-Turzík\r\nbound.
    The Poljak-Turzík bound states that any weighted graph G has a cut of weight\r\nat
    least w(G)/2 + wMSF (G)/4 , where w(G) denotes the total weight of G, and wMSF
    (G)\r\ndenotes the weight of its minimum spanning forest. In connected simple
    graphs the\r\ntwo bounds are equivalent, but for multigraphs the Poljak-Turzík
    bound can be larger\r\nand thus yield a smaller parameter k. Our algorithm also
    runs in parameterized linear\r\ntime, i.e., f (k) · O(m + n)."
