In this talk, I will describe a family of observables for 3D quantum Yang-Mills theory based on regularising connections with the YM heat flow. I will describe how these observables can be used to show that there is a unique renormalisation of the stochastic quantisation equation of YM in 3D that preserves gauge symmetries. This complements a recent result on the existence of such a renormalisation. Based on joint work with Hao Shen.

At most how many edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles does a given directed graph contain? It is easy to see that one cannot pack more than the minimum in-degree or the minimum out-degree of the digraph. We show that in the random directed graph $D(n,p)$ one can pack precisely this many edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles, with high probability, given that $p$ is at least the Hamiltonicity threshold, up to a polylog factor.

Based on a joint work with Asaf Ferber.

Graphs (and structures) which have a linear ordering of their vertices with given local properties have a rich spectrum of complexities. Some have full power of class NP (and thus no dichotomy) but for biconnected patterns we get dichotomy. This also displays the importance of Sparse Incomparability Lemma. This is a joint work with Gabor Kun (Budapest).
