We demonstrate a quasipolynomial-time deterministic approximation algorithm for the partition function of a Gibbs point process interacting via a stable potential. This result holds for all activities $lambda$ for which the partition function satisfies a zero-free assumption in a neighbourhood of the interval $[0,lambda ]$ . As a corollary, for all finiterange stable potentials, we obtain a quasipolynomial-time deterministic algorithm for all $lambda lt 1/(e^{B + 1} hat C_phi )$ where $hat C_phi$ is a temperedness parameter and $B$ is the stability constant of $phi$ . In the special case of a repulsive potential such as the hard-sphere gas we improve the range of activity by a factor of at least $e^2$ and obtain a quasipolynomial-time deterministic approximation algorithm for all $lambda lt e/Delta _phi$ , where $Delta _phi$ is the potential-weighted connective constant of the potential $phi$ . Our algorithm approximates coefficients of the cluster expansion of the partition function and uses the interpolation method of Barvinok to extend this approximation throughout the zero-free region.

A random two-cell embedding of a given graph $G$ is obtained by choosing a random local rotation around every vertex. We analyse the expected number of faces of such an embedding, which is equivalent to studying its average genus. In 1991, Stahl [5] proved that the expected number of faces in a random embedding of an arbitrary graph of order $n$ is at most $nlog (n)$ . While there are many families of graphs whose expected number of faces is $Theta (n)$ , none are known where the expected number would be super-linear. This led the authors of [1] to conjecture that there is a linear upper bound. In this note we confirm their conjecture by proving that for any $n$ -vertex multigraph, the expected number of faces in a random two-cell embedding is at most $2nlog (2mu )$ , where $mu$ is the maximum edge-multiplicity. This bound is best possible up to a constant factor.

Alweiss, Lovett, Wu, and Zhang introduced $q$ -spread hypergraphs in their breakthrough work regarding the sunflower conjecture, and since then $q$ -spread hypergraphs have been used to give short proofs of several outstanding problems in probabilistic combinatorics. A variant of $q$ -spread hypergraphs was implicitly used by Kahn, Narayanan, and Park to determine the threshold for when a square of a Hamiltonian cycle appears in the random graph $G_{n,p}$ . In this paper, we give a common generalization of the original notion of $q$ -spread hypergraphs and the variant used by Kahn, Narayanan, and Park.

We extend a recent argument of Kahn, Narayanan and Park ((2021) Proceedings of the AMS 149 3201–3208) about the threshold for the appearance of the square of a Hamilton cycle to other spanning structures. In particular, for any spanning graph, we give a sufficient condition under which we may determine its threshold. As an application, we find the threshold for a set of cyclically ordered copies of $C_4$ that span the entire vertex set, so that any two consecutive copies overlap in exactly one edge and all overlapping edges are disjoint. This answers a question of Frieze. We also determine the threshold for edge-overlapping spanning $K_r$ -cycles.
我们将Kahn, Narayanan和Park ((2021) Proceedings of the AMS 149 3201-3208)最近关于Hamilton循环平方出现的阈值的论点扩展到其他跨越结构。特别地,对于任意生成图,我们给出了一个确定其阈值的充分条件。作为一个应用,我们找到了一组循环有序的C_4$副本的阈值,这些副本张成整个顶点集,使得任意两个连续的副本恰好在一条边重叠,并且所有重叠的边都是不相交的。这回答了弗里兹的一个问题。我们还确定了跨越$K_r$ -环的边缘重叠的阈值。

Abstract A set of graphs are called cospectral if their adjacency matrices have the same characteristic polynomial. In this paper we introduce a simple method for constructing infinite families of cospectral regular graphs. The construction is valid for special cases of a property introduced by Schwenk. For the case of cubic (3-regular) graphs, computational results are given which show that the construction generates a large proportion of the cubic graphs, which are cospectral with another cubic graph.

Abstract We prove an essentially sharp $tilde Omega (n/k)$ lower bound on the k-round distributional complexity of the k-step pointer chasing problem under the uniform distribution, when Bob speaks first. This is an improvement over Nisan and Wigderson’s $tilde Omega (n/{k^2})$ lower bound, and essentially matches the randomized lower bound proved by Klauck. The proof is information-theoretic, and a key part of it is using asymmetric triangular discrimination instead of total variation distance; this idea may be useful elsewhere.

Abstract Let c denote the largest constant such that every C6-free graph G contains a bipartite and C4-free subgraph having a fraction c of edges of G. Győri, Kensell and Tompkins showed that 3/8 ⩽ c ⩽ 2/5. We prove that c = 38. More generally, we show that for any ε > 0, and any integer k ⩾ 2, there is a C2k-free graph $G'$ which does not contain a bipartite subgraph of girth greater than 2k with more than a fraction $$Bigl(1-frac{1}{2^{2k-2}}Bigr)frac{2}{2k-1}(1+varepsilon)$$ of the edges of $G'$ . There also exists a C2k-free graph $G''$ which does not contain a bipartite and C4-free subgraph with more than a fraction $$Bigl(1-frac{1}{2^{k-1}}Bigr)frac{1}{k-1}(1+varepsilon)$$ of the edges of $G''$ . One of our proofs uses the following statement, which we prove using probabilistic ideas, generalizing a theorem of Erdős. For any ε > 0, and any integers a, b, k ⩾ 2, there exists an a-uniform hypergraph H of girth greater than k which does not contain any b-colourable subhypergraph with more than a fraction $$Bigl(1-frac{1}{b^{a-1}}Bigr)(1+varepsilon)$$ of the hyperedges of H. We also prove further generalizations of this theorem. In addition, we give a new and very short proof of a result of Kühn and Osthus, which states that every bipartite C2k-free graph G contains a C4-free subgraph with at least a fraction 1/(k−1) of the edges of G. We also answer a question of Kühn and Osthus about C2k-free graphs obtained by pasting together C2l’s (with k >l ⩾ 3).

Abstract We show that a dense subset of a sufficiently large group multiplication table contains either a large part of the addition table of the integers modulo some k, or the entire multiplication table of a certain large abelian group, as a subgrid. As a consequence, we show that triples systems coming from a finite group contain configurations with t triples spanning $ O(sqrt t )$ vertices, which is the best possible up to the implied constant. We confirm that for all t we can find a collection of t triples spanning at most t + 3 vertices, resolving the Brown–Erdős–Sós conjecture in this context. The proof applies well-known arithmetic results including the multidimensional versions of Szemerédi’s theorem and the density Hales–Jewett theorem. This result was discovered simultaneously and independently by Nenadov, Sudakov and Tyomkyn [5], and a weaker result avoiding the arithmetic machinery was obtained independently by Wong [11].

Abstract We prove that any n-vertex graph whose complement is triangle-free contains n2/12 – o(n2) edge-disjoint triangles. This is tight for the disjoint union of two cliques of order n/2. We also prove a corresponding stability theorem, that all large graphs attaining the above bound are close to being bipartite. Our results answer a question of Alon and Linial, and make progress on a conjecture of Erdős.
