abstract

Answering a question by Letzter and Snyder, we prove that for large enough $k$ any $n$-vertex graph $G$ with minimum degree at least $\frac{1}{2k-1}n$ and without odd cycles of length less than $2k+1$ is $3$-colourable. In fact, we prove a stronger result that works with a slightly smaller minimum degree.

    For all H with χ(H)=3, δ_χ(H,2) belongs to the finite set {1/2, 2/5, 2/7, 1/4, 2/9, 1/5, 2/11, 1/6}, with complete structural characterization of the associated H and an extension to color-critical graphs via the new ...

  2. On the chromatic profile for tripartite graphs and beyond

    math.CO 2026-04 accept novelty 8.0

    For every graph H with χ(H)=3 the possible values of δ_χ(H,2) form the finite set {1/2, 2/5, 2/7, 1/4, 2/9, 1/5, 2/11, 1/6}, with complete structural classification of the realizing graphs H.

  3. On the spectrum and structure of blowup thresholds

    math.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0

    Blowup thresholds are always positive for non-bipartite H, fail monotonicity under induced subgraphs, and equal 1/4 for certain constrained odd-cycle blowups.

  4. On the structure of dense graphs with given odd girth

    math.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    Every n-vertex graph with odd girth at least 2k+1 and minimum degree greater than 4n/(6k−1) is homomorphic to the Möbius ladder M_{4k}.
