On an infinite sequence of strongly regular digraphs with parameters $(9(2n+3), 3(2n+3), 2n+4, 2n+1, 2n+4)$

Abstract

The paper constructs an infinite sequence of strongly regular directed graphs. The construction is based on representing adjacency matrices as block matrices composed of circulant blocks, together with the use of a compactification operation consistent with polynomial arithmetic modulo $x^{2n+3}-1$. Using computer search with the pychoco library and subsequent analysis of automorphism groups in the GAP system, a stable structural pattern was identified, which made it possible to formulate and prove an explicit formula for the adjacency matrices of the infinite sequence of directed graphs. Among the obtained digraphs, there are examples with parameters $(63, 21, 8, 5, 8)$ and $(81, 27, 10, 7, 10)$, for which the question of existence had previously remained open. A hypothesis on the structure of the automorphism groups of the digraphs in the constructed sequence is also formulated.

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.
