Uniform sets with few progressions via colorings

Mingyang Deng, Jonathan Tidor, Yufei Zhao

Ruzsa asked whether there exist Fourier-uniform subsets of with density and 4-term arithmetic progression (4-AP) density at most , for arbitrarily l…

Set-coloring Ramsey numbers and error-correcting codes near the zero-rate threshold

David Conlon, Jacob Fox, Huy Tuan Pham +1

For positive integers with , the set-coloring Ramsey number is the minimum such that if every edge of the complete graph receives a set of c…

Nearly all -SAT functions are unate

József Balogh, Dingding Dong, Bernard Lidický +2

We prove that fraction of all -SAT functions on Boolean variables are unate (i.e., monotone after first negating some variables), for any fixed positive integer …

On the number of error correcting codes

Dingding Dong, Nitya Mani, Yufei Zhao

We show that for a fixed , the number of -ary -error correcting codes of length is at most for all $t \leq (1 - q^{-1})n - C_q\sqrt{n \log n}…

Graphs with high second eigenvalue multiplicity

Milan Haiman, Carl Schildkraut, Shengtong Zhang +1

Jiang, Tidor, Yao, Zhang, and Zhao recently showed that connected bounded degree graphs have sublinear second eigenvalue multiplicity (always referring to the adjacency matrix). Th…

Enumerating k-SAT functions

Dingding Dong, Nitya Mani, Yufei Zhao

How many -SAT functions on boolean variables are there? What does a typical such function look like? Bollobás, Brightwell, and Leader conjectured that, for each fixed $k \ge…

Which graphs can be counted in -free graphs?

David Conlon, Jacob Fox, Benny Sudakov +1

For which graphs is there a sparse -counting lemma in -free graphs? We are interested in identifying graphs with the property that, roughly speaking, if is an $…

Removal lemmas and approximate homomorphisms

Jacob Fox, Yufei Zhao

We study quantitative relationships between the triangle removal lemma and several of its variants. One such variant, which we call the triangle-free lemma, states that for each $ε…

-intersecting families of graphs

Aaron Berger, Yufei Zhao

Ellis, Filmus, and Friedgut proved an old conjecture of Simonovits and Sós showing that the maximum size of a triangle-intersecting family of graphs on vertices has size at mos…

Paths of given length in tournaments

Ashwin Sah, Mehtaab Sawhney, Yufei Zhao

We prove that every -vertex tournament has at most walks of length .

Joints of varieties

Jonathan Tidor, Hung-Hsun Hans Yu, Yufei Zhao

We generalize the Guth--Katz joints theorem from lines to varieties. A special case says that planes (2-flats) in 6 dimensions (over any field) have joints, where…

Extension complexity of low-dimensional polytopes

Matthew Kwan, Lisa Sauermann, Yufei Zhao

Sometimes, it is possible to represent a complicated polytope as a projection of a much simpler polytope. To quantify this phenomenon, the extension complexity of a polytope is…

Spherical two-distance sets and eigenvalues of signed graphs

Zilin Jiang, Jonathan Tidor, Yuan Yao +2

We study the problem of determining the maximum size of a spherical two-distance set with two fixed angles (one acute and one obtuse) in high dimensions. Let denote th…

A short proof of the canonical polynomial van der Waerden theorem

Jacob Fox, Yuval Wigderson, Yufei Zhao

We present a short new proof of the canonical polynomial van der Waerden theorem, recently established by Girao [arXiv:2004.07766].

Cayley graphs without a bounded eigenbasis

Ashwin Sah, Mehtaab Sawhney, Yufei Zhao

Does every -vertex Cayley graph have an orthonormal eigenbasis all of whose coordinates are ? While the answer is yes for abelian groups, we show that it is no in…

Tower-type bounds for Roth's theorem with popular differences

Jacob Fox, Huy Tuan Pham, Yufei Zhao

Green developed an arithmetic regularity lemma to prove a strengthening of Roth's theorem on arithmetic progressions in dense sets. It states that for every there is some $N…

The regularity method for graphs with few 4-cycles

David Conlon, Jacob Fox, Benny Sudakov +1

We develop a sparse graph regularity method that applies to graphs with few 4-cycles, including new counting and removal lemmas for 5-cycles in such graphs. Some applications inclu…

A counterexample to the Bollobás-Riordan conjectures on sparse graph limits

Ashwin Sah, Mehtaab Sawhney, Jonathan Tidor +1

Bollobás and Riordan, in their paper "Metrics for sparse graphs," proposed a number of provocative conjectures extending central results of quasirandom graphs and graph limits to s…

Induced arithmetic removal: complexity 1 patterns over finite fields

Jacob Fox, Jonathan Tidor, Yufei Zhao

We prove an arithmetic analog of the induced graph removal lemma for complexity 1 patterns over finite fields. Informally speaking, we show that given a fixed collection of -col…

Joints tightened

Hung-Hsun Hans Yu, Yufei Zhao

In -dimensional space (over any field), given a set of lines, a joint is a point passed through by lines not all lying in some hyperplane. The joints problem asks to determi…

On the upper tail problem for random hypergraphs

Yang P. Liu, Yufei Zhao

The upper tail problem in a random graph asks to estimate the probability that the number of copies of some fixed subgraph in an Erdős--Rényi random graph exceeds its expectation b…
