Spanning clique subdivisions in pseudorandom graphs

Abstract

In this paper, we study the appearance of a spanning subdivision of a clique in graphs satisfying certain pseudorandom conditions. Specifically, we show the following three results. Firstly, that there are constants $C>0$ and $c\in (0,1]$ such that, whenever $d/λ\ge C$, every $(n,d,λ)$-graph contains a spanning subdivision of $K_t$ for all $2\le t \le \min\{cd,c\sqrt{\frac{n}{\log n}}\}$. Secondly, that there are constants $C>0$ and $c\in (0,1]$ such that, whenever $d/λ\ge C\log^3n$, every $(n,d,λ)$-graph contains a spanning nearly-balanced subdivision of $K_t$ for all $2\le t \le \min\{cd,c\sqrt{\frac{n}{\log^3n}}\}$. Finally, we show that for every $μ>0$, there are constants $c,\varepsilon\in (0,1]$ and $n_0\in \mathbb N$ such that, whenever $n\ge n_0$, every $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $μn$ and no bipartite holes of size $\varepsilon n$ contains a spanning nearly-balanced subdivision of $K_t$ for all $2\le t \le c\sqrt{n}$.
