This conjecture also has an equivalent analytic form and has connections to a broad range of topics, such as matrix theory, Markov chains, graph limits, and quasirandomness. Here we prove the conjecture if H has a vertex complete to the other part, and deduce an approximate version of the conjecture for all H. Furthermore, for a large class of bipartite graphs, we prove a stronger stability result which answers a question of Chung, Graham, and Wilson on quasirandomness for these graphs.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-06-08T07:43:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C35", "05D40", "39B62" ], "keywords": [ "approximate version", "sidorenkos conjecture", "bipartite graph", "edge density", "equivalent analytic form" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1004.4236C" } } }
