A longstanding conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and Simonovits states that for every rational $r$ between $1$ and $2$ there is a graph $H$ such that the largest number of edges in an $H$-free graph on $n$ vertices is $\Theta(n^r)$. Answering a question raised by Jiang, Jiang and Ma, we show that the conjecture holds for all rationals of the form $2 - a/b$ with $b$ sufficiently large in terms of $a$.

  1. Linear Lower Bounds for the Modular Chromatic Index

    math.CO 2026-08 accept novelty 8.0

    Bipartite graphs force the mod-k chromatic index to grow as 3k/2, refuting the Botler–Colucci–Kohayakawa conjecture.

  2. Recent progress in graph theory using expansion

    math.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 3.0

    Sublinear expansion—weak neighbourhood growth in sparse graphs—has resolved many long-standing extremal graph theory conjectures, and this survey organizes that progress.
