Graph structure via local occupancy
E. Davies, R.J. Kang, F. Pirot, J.-S. Sereni
@article{DKPS20a, title = {Graph structure via local occupancy}, author = {Davies, Ewan and Kang, Ross J. and Pirot, Fran\c{c}ois and Sereni, Jean-S\'ebastien}, year = {2020}, eprinttype = {arxiv}, eprint = {2003.14361} }
This bib entry is for biblatex/biber, a modern, unicode-aware repacement for bibtex.

The first author together with Jenssen, Perkins and Roberts (2017) recently showed how local properties of the hard-core model on triangle-free graphs guarantee the existence of large independent sets, of size matching the best-known asymptotics due to Shearer (1983). The present work strengthens this in two ways: first, by guaranteeing stronger graph structure in terms of colourings through applications of the Lovász local lemma; and second, by extending beyond triangle-free graphs in terms of local sparsity, treating for example graphs of bounded local edge density, of bounded local Hall ratio, and of bounded clique number. This generalises and improves upon much other earlier work, including that of Shearer (1995), Alon (1996) and Alon, Krivelevich and Sudakov (1999), and more recent results of Molloy (2019), Bernshteyn (2019) and Achlioptas, Iliopoulos and Sinclair (2019). Our results derive from a common framework built around the hard-core model. It pivots on a property we call local occupancy, giving a clean separation between the methods for deriving graph structure with probabilistic information and verifying the requisite probabilistic information itself.
Efficient algorithms for the Potts model on small-set expanders

@article{CDK20, title = {Efficient algorithms for the Potts model on small-set expanders}, author = {Carlson, Charles and Davies, Ewan and Kolla, Alexandra}, year = {2020}, eprinttype = {arxiv}, eprint = {2003.01154} }
This bib entry is for biblatex/biber, a modern, unicode-aware repacement for bibtex.

We develop an approximation algorithm for the partition function of the ferromagnetic Potts model on graphs with a small-set expansion condition, and as a step in the argument we give a graph partitioning algorithm with expansion and minimum degree conditions on the subgraphs induced by each part. These results extend previous work of Jenssen, Keevash, and Perkins (2019) on the Potts model and related problems in expander graphs, and of Oveis Gharan and Trevisan (2014) on partitioning into expanders.
Statistical physics approaches to Unique Games
M. Coulson, E. Davies, A. Kolla, V. Patel, G. Regts
@article{CDKPR19, title = {Statistical physics approaches to Unique Games}, author = {Coulson, Matthew and Davies, Ewan and Kolla, Alexandra and Patel, Viresh and Regts, Guus}, year = {2019}, eprinttype = {arxiv}, eprint = {1911.01504} }
This bib entry is for biblatex/biber, a modern, unicode-aware repacement for bibtex.

We show how two techniques from statistical physics can be adapted to solve a variant of the notorious Unique Games problem, potentially opening new avenues towards the Unique Games Conjecture. The variant, which we call Count Unique Games, is a promise problem in which the "yes" case guarantees a certain number of highly satisfiable assignments to the Unique Games instance. In the standard Unique Games problem, the "yes" case only guarantees at least one such assignment. We exhibit efficient algorithms for Count Unique Games based on approximating a suitable partition function for the Unique Games instance via (i) a zero-free region and polynomial interpolation, and (ii) the cluster expansion. We also show that a modest improvement to the parameters for which we give results would refute the Unique Games Conjecture.
Regularity inheritance in hypergraphs

@article{ADS19, title = {Regularity inheritance in hypergraphs}, author = {Allen, Peter and Davies, Ewan and Skokan, Jozef}, year = {2019}, eprinttype = {arxiv}, eprint = {1901.05955} }
This bib entry is for biblatex/biber, a modern, unicode-aware repacement for bibtex.

We give a new approach to handling hypergraph regularity. This approach allows for vertex-by-vertex embedding into regular partitions of hypergraphs, and generalises to regular partitions of sparse hypergraphs. We also prove a corresponding sparse hypergraph regularity lemma.
Occupancy fraction, fractional colouring, and triangle fraction
E. Davies, R. de Joannis de Verclos, R.J. Kang, F. Pirot
@article{DJKP18b, title = {Occupancy fraction, fractional colouring, and triangle fraction}, author = {Davies, Ewan and de Joannis de Verclos, Rémi and Kang, Ross J. and Pirot, Fran\c{c}ois}, year = {2018}, eprinttype = {arxiv}, eprint = {1812.11152} }
This bib entry is for biblatex/biber, a modern, unicode-aware repacement for bibtex.

Given $\varepsilon>0$ , there exists $f_0$ such that, if $f_0 \le f \le ∆^2+1$ , then for any graph $G$ on $n$ vertices of maximum degree $∆$ in which the neighbourhood of every vertex in $G$ spans at most $∆^2/f$ edges, we have (i) an independent set drawn uniformly at random from $G$ has expected size at least $(1/2-\varepsilon)(n/∆)\log f$ ; and (ii) the fractional chromatic number of $G$ is at most $(2+\varepsilon)∆/\log f$ .
The asymptotic factors cannot in general be improved by more than a factor of $2$ . One may view these as stronger versions of results of Ajtai, Komlós and Szemerédi (1981) and Shearer (1983) on the independence number. The proofs of both use a tight analysis of the hard-core model.
On zero-free regions for the anti-ferromagnetic Potts model on bounded-degree graphs
F. Bencs, E. Davies, V. Patel, G. Regts
@article{BDPR18, title = {On zero-free regions for the anti-ferromagnetic Potts model on bounded-degree graphs}, author = {Bencs, Ferenc and Davies, Ewan and Patel, Viresh and Regts, Guus}, year = {2018}, eprinttype = {arxiv}, eprint = {1812.07532} }
This bib entry is for biblatex/biber, a modern, unicode-aware repacement for bibtex.

We give zero-free regions for the partition function of the anti-ferromagnetic Potts model on bounded degree graphs. In particular we show that for any $∆∈\mathbbN$ and any $k≥3.02 ∆+1$ , there exists an open set $U$ in the complex plane that contains the interval $[0,1)$ such that $\mathbfZ(G;k,w)≠0$ for any $w∈U$ and any graph $G$ of maximum degree at most $∆$ . For small values of $∆$ we are able to give better results. As an application of our results we obtain improved bounds on $k$ for the existence of deterministic approximation algorithms for counting the number of proper $k$ -colourings of graphs of small maximum degree.

Colouring triangle-free graphs with local list sizes

This bib entry is for biblatex/biber, a modern, unicode-aware repacement for bibtex.

We prove two distinct and natural refinements of a recent breakthrough result of Molloy (and a follow-up work of Bernshteyn) on the (list) chromatic number of triangle-free graphs. In both our results, we permit the amount of colour made available to vertices of lower degree to be accordingly lower. One result concerns list colouring and correspondence colouring, while the other concerns fractional colouring. Our proof of the second illustrates the use of the hard-core model to prove a Johansson-type result, which may be of independent interest.

This bib entry is for biblatex/biber, a modern, unicode-aware repacement for bibtex.

We give tight upper and lower bounds on the internal energy per particle in the antiferromagnetic $q$ -state Potts model on $4$ -regular graphs, for $q\ge 5$ . This proves the first case of a conjecture of the author, Perkins, Jenssen, and Roberts on extensions of their methods, and implies tight bounds on the antiferromagnetic Potts partition function.
The zero-temperature limit gives upper and lower bounds on the number of proper $q$ -colourings of $4$ -regular graphs, which almost proves the case $d=4$ of a conjecture of Galvin and Tetali. For any $q \ge 5$ we prove that the number of proper $q$ -colourings of a $4$ -regular graph is maximised by a union of $K_{4,4}$ ’s.

This bib entry is for biblatex/biber, a modern, unicode-aware repacement for bibtex.

Partition functions arise in statistical physics and probability theory as the normalizing constant of Gibbs measures and in combinatorics and graph theory as graph polynomials. For instance the partition functions of the hard-core model and monomer-dimer model are the independence and matching polynomials respectively.
We show how stability results follow naturally from the recently developed occupancy method for maximizing and minimizing physical observables over classes of regular graphs, and then show these stability results can be used to obtain tight extremal bounds on the individual coefficients of the corresponding partition functions.
As applications, we prove new bounds on the number of independent sets and matchings of a given size in regular graphs. For large enough graphs and almost all sizes, the bounds are tight and confirm the Upper Matching Conjecture of Friedland, Krop, and Markström and a conjecture of Kahn on independent sets for a wide range of parameters. Additionally we prove tight bounds on the number of $q$ -colorings of cubic graphs with a given number of monochromatic edges, and tight bounds on the number of independent sets of a given size in cubic graphs of girth at least $5$ .
Extremes of the internal energy of the Potts model on cubic graphs
E. Davies, M. Jenssen, W. Perkins, B. Roberts
Random Structures & Algorithms 53 (2018), 59–75
@article{davies2016extremes, title = {Extremes of the internal energy of the {P}otts model on cubic graphs}, author = {Davies, Ewan and Jenssen, Matthew and Perkins, Will and Roberts, Barnaby}, shortjournal = {Random Structures Algorithms}, journal = {Random Structures \& Algorithms}, volume = {53}, number = {1}, pages = {59-75}, year = {2018}, doi = {10.1002/rsa.20767}, eprinttype = {arxiv}, eprint = {1610.08496} }
This bib entry is for biblatex/biber, a modern, unicode-aware repacement for bibtex.

We prove tight upper and lower bounds on the internal energy per particle (expected number of monochromatic edges per vertex) in the anti-ferromagnetic Potts model on cubic graphs at every temperature and for all $q \ge 2$ . This immediately implies corresponding tight bounds on the anti-ferromagnetic Potts partition function.
Taking the zero-temperature limit gives new results in extremal combinatorics: the number of $q$ -colorings of a $3$ -regular graph, for any $q \ge 2$ , is maximized by a union of $K_{3,3}$ ’s. This proves the $d=3$ case of a conjecture of Galvin and Tetali.
On the average size of independent sets in triangle-free graphs
E. Davies, M. Jenssen, W. Perkins, B. Roberts
Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society 146 (2018), 111–124
@article{davies2018average, title = {On the average size of independent sets in triangle-free graphs}, author = {Davies, Ewan and Jenssen, Matthew and Perkins, Will and Roberts, Barnaby}, shortjournal = {Proc. Amer. Math. Soc.}, journal = {Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society}, volume = {146}, pages = {111--124}, year = {2018}, doi = {10.1090/proc/13728}, eprinttype = {arxiv}, eprint = {1606.01043} }
This bib entry is for biblatex/biber, a modern, unicode-aware repacement for bibtex.

We prove an asymptotically tight lower bound on the average size of independent sets in a triangle-free graph on $n$ vertices with maximum degree $d$ , showing that an independent set drawn uniformly at random from such a graph has expected size at least $(1+o_d(1)) \frac{\log d}dn$ . This gives an alternative proof of Shearer’s upper bound on the Ramsey number $R(3,k)$ . We then prove that the total number of independent sets in a triangle-free graph with maximum degree $d$ is at least $\exp \left[\left(\frac{1}{2}+o_d(1) \right) \frac{\log^2 d}dn \right]$ . The constant $1/2$ in the exponent is best possible. In both cases, tightness is exhibited by a random $d$ -regular graph.
Both results come from considering the hard-core model from statistical physics: a random independent set $I$ drawn from a graph with probability proportional to $λ^{|I|}$ , for a fugacity parameter $λ>0$ . We prove a general lower bound on the occupancy fraction (normalized expected size of the random independent set) of the hard-core model on triangle-free graphs of maximum degree $d$ . The bound is asymptotically tight in $d$ for all $λ=O_d(1)$ .
We conclude by stating several conjectures on the relationship between the average and maximum size of an independent set in a triangle-free graph and give some consequences of these conjectures in Ramsey theory.
Multicolour Ramsey numbers of paths and even cycles

This bib entry is for biblatex/biber, a modern, unicode-aware repacement for bibtex.

We prove new upper bounds on the multicolour Ramsey numbers of paths and even cycles. It is well known that $(k-1)n+o(n)≤R_k(P_n)≤R_k(C_n)≤kn+o(n)$ . The upper bound was recently improved by Sárközy who showed that $R_k(C_n)≤\left(k-\frack{16k^3+1}\right)n+o(n)$ . Here we show $R_k(C_n) ≤(k-\frac14)n +o(n)$ , obtaining the first improvement to the coefficient of the linear term by an absolute constant.
Independent Sets, Matchings, and Occupancy Fractions

This bib entry is for biblatex/biber, a modern, unicode-aware repacement for bibtex.

We prove tight upper bounds on the logarithmic derivative of the independence and matching polynomials of $d$ -regular graphs. For independent sets, this theorem is a strengthening of the results of Kahn, Galvin and Tetali, and Zhao showing that a union of copies of $K_{d,d}$ maximizes the number of independent sets and the independence polynomial of a $d$ -regular graph.
For matchings, this shows that the matching polynomial and the total number of matchings of a $d$ -regular graph are maximized by a union of copies of $K_{d,d}$ . Using this we prove the asymptotic upper matching conjecture of Friedland, Krop, Lundow, and Markström.
In probabilistic language, our main theorems state that for all $d$ -regular graphs and all $λ$ , the occupancy fraction of the hard-core model and the edge occupancy fraction of the monomer-dimer model with fugacity $λ$ are maximized by $K_{d,d}$ . Our method involves constrained optimization problems over distributions of random variables and applies to all $d$ -regular graphs directly, without a reduction to the bipartite case.

We show how to use the recently-developed occupancy method and stability results that follow easily from the method to obtain extremal bounds on the individual coefficients of the partition functions over various classes of bounded degree graphs.

We develop a theory of regularity inheritance in $3$ -uniform hypergraphs. As a simple consequence we deduce a strengthening of a counting lemma of Frankl and Rödl. We believe that the approach is sufficiently flexible and general to permit extensions of our results in the direction of a hypergraph blow-up lemma.

Extremal and probabilistic results for regular graphs

PhD thesis, The London School of Economics and Political Science (2017)
@phdthesis{davies2017extremal, title = {Extremal and probabilistic results for regular graphs}, author = {Davies, Ewan}, institution = {The London School of Economics and Political Science}, year = {2017}, doi = {10.21953/lse.bijk2dsj3hlb} }
This bib entry is for biblatex/biber, a modern, unicode-aware repacement for bibtex.

In this thesis we explore extremal graph theory, focusing on new methods which apply to different notions of regular graph. The first notion is $d$ -regularity, which means each vertex of a graph is contained in exactly $d$ edges, and the second notion is Szemerédi regularity, which is a strong, approximate version of this property that relates to pseudorandomness.
We begin with a novel method for optimising observables of Gibbs distributions in sparse graphs. The simplest application of the method is to the hard-core model, concerning independent sets in $d$ -regular graphs, where we prove a tight upper bound on an observable known as the occupancy fraction. We also cover applications to matchings and colourings, in each case proving a tight bound on an observable of a Gibbs distribution and deriving an extremal result on the number of a relevant combinatorial structure in regular graphs. The results relate to a wide range of topics including statistical physics and Ramsey theory.
We then turn to a form of Szemerédi regularity in sparse hypergraphs, and develop a method for embedding complexes that generalises a widely-applied method for counting in pseudorandom graphs. We prove an inheritance lemma which shows that the neighbourhood of a sparse, regular subgraph of a highly pseudorandom hypergraph typically inherits regularity in a natural way. This shows that we may embed complexes into suitable regular hypergraphs vertex-by-vertex, in much the same way as one can prove a counting lemma for regular graphs.
Finally, we consider the multicolour Ramsey number of paths and even cycles. A well-known density argument shows that when the edges of a complete graph on $kn$ vertices are coloured with $k$ colours, one can find a monochromatic path on $n$ vertices. We give an improvement to this bound by exploiting the structure of the densest colour, and use the regularity method to extend the result to even cycles.

Graph theory is the study of connected systems of abstract ‘things’ which we call graphs. In this example the ‘things’ in the graph are particles of a gas or atoms in a molecule, and we describe a new method for understanding mathematical models in these graphs.
