Strong edge-colouring via local flag algebras

Eoin Davey, Eoin Hurley, Rémi de Joannis de Verclos +2

The strong chromatic index is the smallest number of colours needed to colour the edges of a graph so that any two edges at distance at most receive different col…

Local flag algebras

Eoin Davey, Eoin Hurley, Rémi de Joannis de Verclos +2

We introduce local flag algebras, a variant of Razborov's flag algebra framework in which densities are normalised by the maximum degree rather than the order . The fra…

Cycle-factors of regular graphs via entropy

Micha Christoph, Nemanja Draganić, António Girão +3

It is a classical result that a random permutation of elements has, on average, about cycles. We generalise this fact to all directed -regular graphs on vertice…

New bounds for linear arboricity and related problems

Micha Christoph, Nemanja Draganić, António Girão +3

A linear forest is a collection of vertex-disjoint paths. The Linear Arboricity Conjecture states that every graph of maximum degree can be decomposed into at most $\lceil(Δ+1)…

Asymmetric results about graph homomorphisms

Lior Gishboliner, Eoin Hurley, Yuval Wigderson

Many important results in extremal graph theory can be roughly summarised as "if a triangle-free graph has certain properties, then it has a homomorphism to a triangle-free gra…

Upper bounds for multicolour Ramsey numbers

Paul Balister, Béla Bollobás, Marcelo Campos +5

The -colour Ramsey number is the minimum such that every -colouring of the edges of the complete graph on vertices contains a monochroma…

Embedding induced trees in sparse expanding graphs

António Girão, Eoin Hurley

Inspired by the network routing literature \cite{aggarwal1996efficient}, we develop what we call a ``Pre-Emptive Greedy Algorithm" to embed bounded degree induced trees in sparse e…

Abundance: Asymmetric Graph Removal Lemmas and Integer Solutions to Linear Equations

António Girão, Eoin Hurley, Freddie Illingworth +1

We prove that a large family of pairs of graphs satisfy a polynomial dependence in asymmetric graph removal lemmas. In particular, we give an unexpected answer to a question of Gis…

Uniformly Random Colourings of Sparse Graphs

Eoin Hurley, François Pirot

We analyse uniformly random proper -colourings of sparse graphs with maximum degree in the regime . This regime corresponds to the lower side of the shattering t…

Tower Gaps in Multicolour Ramsey Numbers

Quentin Dubroff, António Girão, Eoin Hurley +1

Resolving a problem of Conlon, Fox, and Rödl, we construct a family of hypergraphs with arbitrarily large tower height separation between their -colour and -colour Ramsey num…

Sufficient conditions for perfect mixed tilings

Eoin Hurley, Felix Joos, Richard Lang

We develop a method to study sufficient conditions for perfect mixed tilings. Our framework allows the embedding of bounded degree graphs with components of sublinear order. As…

Colouring locally sparse graphs with the first moment method

François Pirot, Eoin Hurley

We give a short proof of a bound on the list chromatic number of graphs of maximum degree where each neighbourhood has density at most , namely $χ_\ell(G) \le (1+o(1)) \…

An improved procedure for colouring graphs of bounded local density

Eoin Hurley, Rémi de Joannis de Verclos, Ross J. Kang

We develop an improved bound for the chromatic number of graphs of maximum degree under the assumption that the number of edges spanning any neighbourhood is at most $(1-σ)\bin…
