On the number of factorable induced subgraphs

Abstract

Let $F$ be an $r$-vertex graph. In this paper, we study the $F$-factor problem in random induced subgraphs of dense graphs. We show that for any $r$-vertex graph $F$ and $γ>0$, if $H$ is an $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $(1-1/χ_{cr}(F)+γ)n$, then for every fixed $p \in (0,1)$, the random induced subgraph $H[p]$ contains an $F$-factor with probability at least $1/(rq)-o_n(1)$, where $q\in \mathbb{N}$ is the order of certain coset group defined from $H$. The probability is asymptotically best possible for infinitely many $F$ and $H$ and yields that a $1/(rq)-o_n(1)$ proportion of the subsets of $H$ induce $F$-factors, interestingly, regardless of whether $H$ itself admits an $F$-factor. Similar results are obtained for perfect matchings in hypergraphs under minimum degree conditions. Our proof combines concentration inequalities, lattice point counting in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ and structural theorems for $F$-factors in dense (hyper)graphs.

Orthogonal Pairs in Maps from the Sphere to the Circle

We prove that, for any $f:S^2\to S^1$ and any $\varepsilon>0$, there exist orthogonal vectors $x,y\in S^2$ such that the length of the shortest arc between $f(x)$ and $f(y)$ is at most $π/2 +\varepsilon$. This proves a conjecture of Ghebleh from 2007 that the circular chromatic number of the real orthogonality graph is equal to four.

Exact Area-Range Minima in the Quantitative Monsky Problem for Five and Seven Triangles

For a dissection $D$ of the unit square into $n$ nondegenerate triangles, let $R(D)=\max_i a_i-\min_i a_i, Δ(n)=\inf_D R(D).$ We prove that this infimum is attained for every $n\ge2$, and determine the exact minima for $n=5$ and $n=7$, allowing T-junctions. For five triangles, $Δ(5)=\frac{5\sqrt5-11}{8};$ equality holds precisely when three areas equal $(3-\sqrt5)/4$ and two equal $(3\sqrt5-5)/8$. For seven triangles, $Δ(7)=r_7$, where $r_7$ is the unique root in $(0,1/4900)$ of $864r^4+2160r^3-6060r^2+4972r-1.$ Every minimizer has four areas $(1+3r_7)/7$ and three areas $(1-4r_7)/7$, although its geometry need not be unique. The proofs combine finite combinatorial classification with exact symbolic and integer-interval certificates. For nine triangles, a tilted-strip construction gives the explicit algebraic upper bound $Δ(9)\le 0.0001273496861283553341\ldots,$ which is the exact minimum within that topology. Conversely, every dissection in the complete single-cap two-rail zig-zag family, with arbitrary continuous areas, has range greater than $1/3500$; hence a global minimizer must lie outside that family. The exact value of $Δ(9)$ remains open.

Chromatic symmetric functions for annular webs

We introduce a combinatorial definition of chromatic symmetric functions for annular webs. We prove their symmetry by constructing a web analogue of the Shareshian--Wachs involution and show that they coincide with the symmetric functions associated to annular webs via Turaev's isomorphism. We then derive explicit formulas for their hook Schur coefficients. We also introduce web LLT functions, whose hook Schur coefficients admit positive Laurent-polynomial formulas. These formulas yield a combinatorial expression for the coefficients of the HOMFLY--PT polynomial of an annular web.
