Abstract

Given a finite group $G$ with identity $e$ and a normal subgroup $H$ of $G$, the subgroup sum graph $Γ_{G,H}$ (resp. extended subgroup sum graph $Γ_{G,H}^+$) of $G$ with respect to $H$ is the graph with vertex set $G$, in which distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent whenever $xy\in H\setminus \{e\}$ (resp. $xy\in H$). A group $G$ is said to be {\em code-perfect} if for any normal subgroup $H$ of $G$, $Γ_{G,H}$ admits a perfect code. In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for which normal subgroups $H$ of $G$ satisfy that a (extended) subgroup sum graph of $G$ with respect to $H$ admits a (total) perfect code, and classify all code-perfect Dedekind groups. As an application, we classify all normal subgroups such that the subgroup sum graph of a cyclic group, a dihedral group or a dicyclic group with respect to such a normal subgroup admits perfect codes, respectively. We also determine all abelian groups $A$ and subgroups $H$ of $A$ such that $Γ_{A,H}$ admits a total perfect code.

Rooted Spider Embeddings and the Erd\H os-Sós Conjecture

Under a local density condition, we prove that every $k$-edge spider embeds at any prescribed center of degree at least $k$, unless all legs are even and the host graph has one of two specified structures. These structures contain complete bipartite subgraphs with prescribed neighborhoods. The proof uses path rerouting and three exchange lemmas that describe equality in neighborhood estimates. As a consequence, we recover the Erd\H os-Sós bound for all spiders.

Random algebraic constructions for extremal and Ramsey problems

Building on Bukh's random algebraic method, we develop a framework for extremal and Ramsey problems involving apex hypergraphs. If $\mathcal{H}$ is a $(d-1)$-partite $(d-1)$-uniform hypergraph with $S$ edges and $\mathcal{H}(t)$ is obtained by adjoining $t$ vertices with common link $\mathcal{H}$, we prove that $\operatorname{ex}(n,\mathcal{H}(t))=Ω_{\mathcal{H}}(n^{d-1/S})$ for $t>9^{S+o_d(S)}$, which is best possible when $\mathcal{H}$ is Sidorenko. Our framework also yields sharper sided Zarankiewicz bounds, quantitative generalized Tur'an bounds, and diagonal multicolor Ramsey constructions. For each fixed $s\geq 2$ and $K\geq 3$, we further prove $\operatorname{r}_K(\mathcal K_{s,t};\mathcal K_n) =Θ_{s,t,K}((n/\log n)^s)$ for $t>9^{s+o(s)}$, extending a theorem of Alon and Rödl from factorial to exponential $t$. The main ingredients are interpolation on $m$-independent varieties, control of the dependencies imposed by symmetry, and linear spaces of forms whose nonzero members remain regular after a common algebraic slice. Limited edge independence then gives the spectral and local-density estimates needed for the Ramsey application.

A note on vertex-critical induced subgraphs of shift graphs

Shift graphs, introduced by Erdős and Hajnal in 1964, form one of the simplest known non-recursive constructions of triangle-free graphs with arbitrarily large chromatic number. In this note, we identify a surprising property: for each integer $k \geq 1$, the smallest $k$-chromatic shift graph contains a \emph{unique} induced $k$-vertex-critical subgraph. We give an explicit description of this subgraph and prove its uniqueness. This provides a new family of vertex-critical triangle-free graphs of arbitrarily large chromatic number.
