A note on unavoidable patterns in locally dense colourings

Combinatorics 2022-11-04 v1

Abstract

We show that there is a constant CC such that for every ε>0\varepsilon>0 any 22-coloured KnK_n with minimum degree at least n/4+εnn/4+\varepsilon n in both colours contains a complete subgraph on 2t2t vertices where one colour class forms a Kt,tK_{t,t}, provided that nεCtn\geq \varepsilon^{-Ct}. Also, we prove that if KnK_n is 22-coloured with minimum degree at least εn\varepsilon n in both colours then it must contain one of two natural colourings of a complete graph. Both results are tight up to the value of CC and they answer two recent questions posed by Kam\v{c}ev and M\"{u}yesser.
