We prove that every bipartite graph of sufficiently large average degree has either a $K_{t,t}$-subgraph or an induced subgraph of average degree at least $t$ and girth at least $6$. We conjecture that "$6$" can be replaced by "$k$", which strengthens a conjecture of Thomassen. In support of this conjecture, we show that it holds for regular graphs.

C4-free subgraphs with large average degree
Motivated by a longstanding conjecture of Thomassen, we study how large the average degree of a graph needs to be to imply that it contains a $C_4$-free subgraph with average degree at least $t$.…

Dense Induced Bipartite Subgraphs in Triangle-Free Graphs
TLDR
It is proved that any H -free graph with minimum degree at least d contains an induced bipartite subgraph of minimum degreeAt least c H log d /log log d , thus nearly confirming one and proving another conjecture of Esperet, Kang and Thomassé.
Every Graph of Sufficiently Large Average Degree Contains a C4-Free Subgraph of Large Average Degree
We prove that for every k there exists d=d(k) such that every graph of average degree at least d contains a subgraph of average degree at least k and girth at least six. This settles a special case…
The Tree-Width of Clique-Width Bounded Graphs Without Kn, n
We proof that every graph of clique-width k which does not contain the complete bipartite graph Kn,n for some n > 1 as a subgraph has tree-width at most 3k(n - 1) - 1. This immediately implies that a…
On a conjecture of Thomassen concerning subgraphs of large girth
TLDR
This work gives another proof for the case g = 6 which is based on a result of Furedi about hypergraphs and shows that the analogous conjecture for directed graphs is true.
Dense Graphs without 3-Regular Subgraphs
TLDR
This paper shows the existence of graphs with cn log log n edges that contain no 3-regular subgraphs and shows that graph with c k n log Δ ( G ) edges contain k -regular sub graphs.
Induced Subdivisions In Ks,s-Free Graphs of Large Average Degree
We prove that for every graph H and for every s there exists d=d(H,s) such that every graph of average degree at least d contains either a Ks,s as a subgraph or an induced subdivision of H.
A survey of $\chi$-boundedness
If a graph has bounded clique number, and sufficiently large chromatic number, what can we say about its induced subgraphs? Andras Gyarfas made a number of challenging conjectures about this in the…
Separation Choosability and Dense Bipartite Induced Subgraphs
TLDR
It is shown for bipartite graphs that separation choosability increases with (the logarithm of) the minimum degree, and strengthens results of Molloy and Thron and, partially, of Alon.
