Hall's marriage theorem

open access: yesJournal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract In 1935, Philip Hall published what is often referred to as ‘Hall's marriage theorem’ in a short paper (P. Hall, J. Lond. Math. Soc. (1) 10 (1935), no. 1, 26–30.) This paper has been very influential. I state the theorem and outline Hall's proof, together with some equivalent (or stronger) earlier results, and proceed to discuss some the many ...

The story of sunflowers

open access: yesJournal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Sunflowers, or Δ$\Delta$‐systems, are a fundamental concept in combinatorics introduced by Erdős and Rado in their paper: [J. London Math. Soc. (1) 35 (1960), 85–90]. A sunflower is a collection of sets where all pairs have the same intersection.

RAINBOW VERTEX CONNECTION NUMBER OF BULL GRAPH, NET GRAPH, TRIANGULAR LADDER GRAPH, AND COMPOSITION GRAPH (P_n [P_1 ])

open access: yesBarekeng
The rainbow connection was first introduced by Chartrand in 2006 and then in 2009 Krivelevich and Yuster first time introduced the rainbow vertex connection. Let graph be a connected graph.

On a rigidity property for quadratic gauss sums

open access: yesMathematika, Volume 72, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Let N$N$ be a large prime and let c>1/4$c > 1/4$. We prove that if f$f$ is a ±1$\pm 1$‐valued multiplicative function, such that the exponential sums Sf(a):=∑1⩽n

On certain extremal Banach–Mazur distances and Ader's characterization of distance ellipsoids

open access: yesMathematika, Volume 72, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract A classical consequence of the John Ellipsoid Theorem is the upper bound n$\sqrt {n}$ on the Banach–Mazur distance between the Euclidean ball and any symmetric convex body in Rn$\mathbb {R}^n$. Equality is attained for the parallelotope and the cross‐polytope. While it is known that they are unique with this property for n=2$n=2$ but not for n⩾

A Covering pursuit game

open access: yesMathematika, Volume 72, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract In the “Covering” pursuit game on a graph, a robber and a set of cops play alternately, with the cops each moving to an adjacent vertex (or not moving) and the robber moving to a vertex at distance at most 2 from his current vertex. The aim of the cops is to ensure that, after every one of their turns, there is a cop at the same vertex as the ...

Combinatorics on number walls and the P(t)$P(t)$‐adic Littlewood conjecture

open access: yesMathematika, Volume 72, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract In 2004, de Mathan and Teulié stated the p$p$‐adic Littlewood conjecture (p$p$‐LC) in analogy with the classical Littlewood conjecture. Let Fq$\mathbb {F}_q$ be a finite field P(t)$P(t)$ be an irreducible polynomial with coefficients in Fq$\mathbb {F}_q$. This paper deals with the analogue of p$p$‐LC over the ring of formal Laurent series over
