Apex conjecture for connected bipartite graphs satisfying Sidorenko's conjecture
Let be a connected bipartite graph satisfying Sidorenko's conjecture. For a positive integer , let be the graph obtained from by adding vertices, each adjacent to every vertex of , with no edges among the added vertices. Call a graph common when the random 2-edge-colouring asymptotically minimises its monochromatic-copy count.
Apex conjecture. For every positive integer , the graph is common. In particular, every complete tripartite graph is common.
The paper proves commonality for adding arbitrarily many apex vertices when is a connected bipartite graph on at most five vertices, but the stated general assertion remains unresolved in the supplied text.
