Abstract:
A famous theorem of Furedi states that for any integer $q \geq 15$, any $C_4$-free graph on $q^2+q+1$ vertices has at most $q(q+1)^2/2$ edges. It is well-known that this bound is tight for infinitely many integers $q$, by polarity graphs constructed from finite projective planes. In this talk, we will present a stability result of Furedi's theorem and then discuss its applications on extremal numbers of $C_4$. Joint work with Jialin He and Tianchi Yang.
