Title: Rainbow extremal problem for color-critical graphs

Abstract: Given \(k\) graphs \(G_1,\dots, G_k\) over a common vertex set of size \(n\), what conditions on \(G_i\) ensure a rainbow copy of \(H\), i.e., a copy of \(H\) with at most one edge from each \(G_i\)? We study the problem of maximizing \(\sum_{i} e(G_i)\) without a rainbow copy of \(H\), where \(e(G_i)\) denotes the number of edges in the graph \(G_i\). We discuss some results and open questions when \(H\) is a complete or a color-critical graph. We also discuss our recent progress on this problem to a conjecture of Keevash, Saks, Sudakov, and Verstraete.

This talk will be based on joint work with Kim, Lee, Liu, and Seo.
