Emergent Equilibrium Structure Along a Critical Cluster Recursion

Critical universality does not determine the microscopic conditional structure of a probability measure. We study a bicolored cluster recursion constrained to remain critical at every generation, with no equilibrium spin measure or fixed coupling imposed. In both two and three dimensions, the resulting history-dependent sequence develops a common Ising/Fortuin--Kasteleyn (FK) compatibility structure: the second-shell dependence of a one-site conditional law is strongly suppressed, nearest-neighbor effective couplings move progressively toward one another near the critical Ising value, and cluster and interface observables organize around the corresponding FK geometry. An exact cluster-coloring factorization singles out $q=2$ as the point where the residual connectivity weight disappears from the two-color spin marginal. Thus equilibrium-compatible conditional structure can emerge along a trajectory that remains critical throughout.

Spanning $H$-subdivisions with Prescribed Path Lengths

We study spanning $H$-subdivisions in dense graphs where the length of every subdivision path is prescribed in advance. This problem is motivated in part by a question of Pavez-Sign\'e [Combin. Probab. Comput. 33 (2024), 121--128], who asked whether the subdivision paths in a spanning $H$-subdivision can be required to have similar lengths. Let $h\ge3$ be an integer and let $0<\beta\ll\alpha\ll1/h$. We prove that, for all sufficiently large $n$, every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with $\delta(G)\ge n/2+\lfloor h/3\rfloor$ has the following property. For every graph $H$ with $h$ edges and no isolated vertices, write $E(H)=\{e_1,\ldots,e_h\}$, and every choice of integers $\ell_1,\ldots,\ell_h\ge4$ satisfying $\sum_{i=1}^h\ell_i=n-|V(H)|+h$ and $\sum_{\ell_i<\alpha n}\ell_i\le\beta n$, the graph $G$ contains a spanning $H$-subdivision in which the $i$th edge of $H$ is replaced by a path of length exactly $\ell_i$. We also give a family of examples showing that a linear additive term in $h$ is necessary in general.

Nearly balanced spanning subdivisions in dense digraphs

Pavez-Sign\'e [Combin. Probab. Comput. 33 (2024), 121--128] conjectured a Dirac-type condition for spanning $H$-subdivisions and asked whether the subdivision paths can additionally be required to have similar lengths. Lee [European J. Combin. 124 (2025), 104059] resolved the existence conjecture in the stronger setting of digraphs. We answer the length-control question in this stronger directed setting: for every $\varepsilon>0$, there exists a constant $C_0>0$ such that, for every digraph $H$ with $h$ arcs and no isolated vertices, every $n$-vertex digraph $D$ with $n\ge C_0h$ and $\delta^0(D)\ge(1/2+\varepsilon)n$ contains a spanning $H$-subdivision whose subdivision paths have lengths differing by at most one.

An Exact Dominant Degree Condition for Transitive Tournament Factors in Digraphs

Let $r\ge2$, let $T_r$ denote the transitive tournament on $r$ vertices, and write $d_G^*(v):=\max\{d_G^+(v),d_G^-(v)\}$. We prove that if $r\mid n$ and an $n$-vertex digraph $G$ satisfies $d_G^*(x)+d_G^*(y)\ge 2(1-1/r)n-1$ for every $x\ne y \in V(G)$ with $xy \notin E(G)$, then $G$ has a $T_r$-factor, and the bound is best possible. Furthermore, by applying our main theorem, we settle Treglown's conjecture on the dominant degree $d^*_G(x) \ge (1-1/r)n$ and answer Molla and Treglown's problem of determining the exact Ore-type threshold $2(1-1/r)n - 1$, and we obtain stronger versions of the theorems of Czygrinow, DeBiasio, Kierstead and Molla.

The exact total degree threshold for the square of a Hamilton cycle in digraphs

The P\'{o}sa-Seymour conjecture establishes the minimum degree threshold required to guarantee the presence of the $k$th power of a Hamilton cycle in a graph. Following numerous partial results, Koml\'{o}s, S\'{a}rk\"{o}zy, and Szemer\'{e}di confirmed the conjecture holds for all sufficiently large graphs. Treglown later conjectured the analogous minimum semi-degree threshold for forcing the $k$th power of a Hamilton cycle in a digraph. Subsequently, DeBiasio et al. proposed a conjecture on the minimum total degree threshold for the same problem. In this paper we settle the conjecture of DeBiasio et al. for $k=2$. Specifically, we prove that every sufficiently large $n$-vertex digraph with minimum total degree at least $8n/5-c$ contains the square of a Hamilton cycle, where $c=2$ if $n\equiv2,4\pmod 5$, and $c=1$ otherwise.

Oriented Discrepancy of The Square of Hamilton Cycles

For an oriented graph $G$, the oriented discrepancy problem concerns the existence of a spanning subgraph of $G$ with a large imbalance between its forward and backward edge orientations. Freschi and Lo proved the Dirac-type Hamilton cycle result in oriented graphs, and asked for an analogue for powers of Hamilton cycles under a minimum-degree condition. We show that, for sufficiently large $n$, every oriented graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with minimum degree $\delta(G)\geq 2n/3$ contains the square of a Hamilton cycle $H$ with $\sigma_{\max}(H)$ guaranteed to exceed a function depending on $\delta(G)$ and $n$.

An Ore-type Theorem for Oriented Discrepancy of Hamilton Cycles

Oriented graph discrepancy problems focus on finding specific subgraphs within a given oriented graph $G$ that contain a significant number of edges in one direction. This concept was first introduced by Gishboliner, Krivelevich, and Michaeli, and has since been further investigated by Freschi and Lo [J. Combin. Theory, Ser. B 169 (2024)], who gave a tight lower bound for the discrepancy of Hamilton cycles in terms of the minimum degree of $G$. Furthermore, they raised the problem of extending such results to Ore-type conditions. Here, an Ore-type condition refers to the minimum degree-sum of non-adjacent vertices, formally defined as: $\sigma_2(G)=\min\{d(x)+d(y)\mid x, y \in V(G) \text{ and } xy \notin E(G)\}$. In this paper, we address this question by showing that for every sufficiently large oriented graph $G$, if $\sigma_2(G)\geq n$, then $G$ contains a Hamilton cycle $C$ with at least $\max\{n/2,\sigma_2(G)/2-o(n)\}$ edges in one direction. Moreover, this result is asymptotically tight.

Evolving fractal dimensions in iterative bicolored percolation

Criticality is traditionally regarded as an unstable, fine-tuned fixed point of the renormalization group. We introduce an iterative bicolored percolation process in two dimensions and show that it can both preserve criticality and transform fractal dimensions. Starting from critical configurations, such as the O$(n)$ loop and fuzzy Potts models, successive coarse-graining generates a hierarchy of distinct yet critical generations. Using the conformal loop ensemble, we derive exact, generation-dependent fractal dimensions, which are quantitatively confirmed by large-scale Monte Carlo simulations. The evolutionary trajectory depends not only on the universality class of the initial state but also on whether it possesses a two-state critical structure, leading to different critical exponents starting from site and bond percolation. These results establish a general geometric mechanism for evolving fractal dimensions, in which scale invariance persists across generations.

Universality of percolation at dynamic pseudocritical point

Universality, encompassing critical exponents, scaling functions, and dimensionless quantities, is fundamental to phase transition theory. In finite systems, universal behaviors are also expected to emerge at the pseudocritical point. Focusing on two-dimensional percolation, we show that the size distribution of the largest cluster asymptotically approaches to a Gumbel form in the subcritical phase, a Gaussian form in the supercritical phase, and transitions within the critical finite-size scaling window. Numerical results indicate that, at consistently defined pseudocritical points, this distribution exhibits a universal form across various lattices and percolation models (bond or site), within error bars, yet differs from the distribution at the critical point. The critical polynomial, universally zero for two-dimensional percolation at the critical point, becomes nonzero at pseudocritical points. Nevertheless, numerical evidence suggests that the critical polynomial, along with other dimensionless quantities such as wrapping probabilities and Binder cumulants, assumes fixed values at the pseudocritical point that are independent of the percolation type (bond or site) but vary with lattice structures. These findings imply that while strict universality breaks down at the pseudocritical point, certain extreme-value statistics and dimensionless quantities exhibit quasi-universality, revealing a subtle connection between scaling behaviors at critical and pseudocritical points.
