We introduce a notion of the emph{crux} of a graph $G$, measuring the order of a smallest dense subgraph in $G$. This simple-looking notion leads to some generalisations of known results about cycles, offering an interesting paradigm of `replacing average degree by crux. In particular, we prove that emph{every} graph contains a cycle of length linear in its crux. Long proved that every subgraph of a hypercube $Q^m$ (resp. discrete torus $C_3^m$) with average degree $d$ contains a path of length $2^{d/2}$ (resp. $2^{d/4}$), and conjectured that there should be a path of length $2^{d}-1$ (resp. $3^{d/2}-1$). As a corollary of our result, together with isoperimetric inequalities, we close these exponential gaps giving asymptotically optimal bounds on long paths in hypercubes, discrete tori, and more generally Hamming graphs. We also consider random subgraphs of $C_4$-free graphs and hypercubes, proving near optimal bounds on lengths of long cycles.

Let $G$ be an edge-coloured graph. The minimum colour degree $delta^c(G)$ of $G$ is the largest integer $k$ such that, for every vertex $v$, there are at least $k$ distinct colours on edges incident to $v$. We say that $G$ is properly coloured if no
two adjacent edges have the same colour. In this paper, we show that, for any $varepsilon >0$ and $n$ large, every edge-coloured graph $G$ with $delta^c(G) ge (1/2+varepsilon)n$ contains a properly coloured cycle of length at least $min{ n , lfloor 2 delta^c(G)/3 rfloor}$.
Let $G$ be a simple $n$-vertex graph and $c$ be a colouring of $E(G)$ with $n$ colours, where each colour class has size at least $2$. We prove that $(G,c)$ contains a rainbow cycle of length at most $lceil frac{n}{2} rceil$, which is best possible.
Our result settles a special case of a strengthening of the Caccetta-Haggkvist conjecture, due to Aharoni. We also show that the matroid generalization of our main result also holds for cographic matroids, but fails for binary matroids.
Planar bicolored (plabic) graphs are combinatorial objects introduced by Postnikov to give parameterizations of the positroid cells of the totally nonnegative Grassmannian $text{Gr}^{geq 0}(n,k)$. Any two plabic graphs for the same positroid cell can
be related by a sequence of certain moves. The flip graph has plabic graphs as vertices and has edges connecting the plabic graphs which are related by a single move. A recent result of Galashin shows that plabic graphs can be seen as cross-sections of zonotopal tilings for the cyclic zonotope $Z(n,3)$. Taking this perspective, we show that the fundamental group of the flip graph is generated by cycles of length 4, 5, and 10, and use this result to prove a related conjecture of Dylan Thurston about triple crossing diagrams. We also apply our result to make progress on an instance of the generalized Baues problem.
Tuza [1992] proved that a graph with no cycles of length congruent to $1$ modulo $k$ is $k$-colorable. We prove that if a graph $G$ has an edge $e$ such that $G-e$ is $k$-colorable and $G$ is not, then for $2leq rleq k$, the edge $e$ lies in at least
$prod_{i=1}^{r-1}(k-i)$ cycles of length $1mod r$ in $G$, and $G-e$ contains at least $frac{1}{2}prod_{i=1}^{r-1}(k-i)$ cycles of length $0 mod r$. A $(k,d)$-coloring of $G$ is a homomorphism from $G$ to the graph $K_{k:d}$ with vertex set $mathbb{Z}_{k}$ defined by making $i$ and $j$ adjacent if $dleq j-i leq k-d$. When $k$ and $d$ are relatively prime, define $s$ by $sdequiv 1mod k$. A result of Zhu [2002] implies that $G$ is $(k,d)$-colorable when $G$ has no cycle $C$ with length congruent to $is$ modulo $k$ for any $iin {1,ldots,2d-1}$. In fact, only $d$ classes need be excluded: we prove that if $G-e$ is $(k,d)$-colorable and $G$ is not, then $e$ lies in at least one cycle with length congruent to $ismod k$ for some $i$ in ${1,ldots,d}$. Furthermore, if this does not occur with $iin{1,ldots,d-1}$, then $e$ lies in at least two cycles with length $1mod k$ and $G-e$ contains a cycle of length $0 mod k$.
Graham and Pollak showed that the vertices of any graph $G$ can be addressed with $N$-tuples of three symbols, such that the distance between any two vertices may be easily determined from their addresses. An addressing is optimal if its length $N$ i
s minimum possible. In this paper, we determine an addressing of length $k(n-k)$ for the Johnson graphs $J(n,k)$ and we show that our addressing is optimal when $k=1$ or when $k=2, n=4,5,6$, but not when $n=6$ and $k=3$. We study the addressing problem as well as a variation of it in which the alphabet used has more than three symbols, for other graphs such as complete multipartite graphs and odd cycles. We also present computations describing the distribution of the minimum length of addressings for connected graphs with up to $10$ vertices. Motivated by these computations we settle a problem of Graham, showing that most graphs on $n$ vertices have an addressing of length at most $n-(2-o(1))log_2 n$.
