Benny Sudakov 2026-11-05
Benny Sudakov studies combinatorics, especially extremal and probabilistic questions. His ETH author page documents work in these areas.[ref]
With David Conlon, Jacob Fox and Choongbum Lee, he developed bounds for ordered Ramsey numbers. Their work compares the order-preserving problem with the ordinary Ramsey number and demonstrates a large gap for some ordered matchings.[ref]
Choongbum Lee 2026-11-05
Choongbum Lee works on graph theory and Ramsey theory. His joint paper with David Conlon, Jacob Fox and Benny Sudakov investigates copies of a graph whose vertex order must be preserved.[ref]
The ordered setting is sensitive to labeling: some ordered matchings have superpolynomial Ramsey numbers. Thus low ordinary degree does not by itself make an order-constrained embedding problem easy.[ref]
David Conlon 2026-11-05
David Conlon studies extremal graph theory and Ramsey theory. His joint work with Jacob Fox, Choongbum Lee and Benny Sudakov shows that imposing a vertex order can make Ramsey problems substantially harder, even for matchings.[ref]
With Joonkyung Lee and Alexander Sidorenko, he also linked failures of a hypergraph analogue of the Sidorenko conjecture to improved extremal lower bounds. This turns a failed density inequality into information about constructions avoiding a specified hypergraph.[ref]
Jacob Fox 2026-11-05
Jacob Fox works on extremal combinatorics, Ramsey theory and algebraic and probabilistic methods in graph theory. His Stanford research page also identifies applications to computer science.[ref]
With David Conlon, Choongbum Lee and Benny Sudakov, he studied ordered Ramsey numbers. Requiring the vertices of a monochromatic copy to appear in a prescribed order can force superpolynomial growth even when the underlying graph is a matching.[ref]
