Blowup Ramsey numbers

Abstract

We study a generalisation of the bipartite Ramsey numbers to blowups of graphs. For a graph GG, denote the tt-blowup of GG by G[t]G[t]. We say that GG is rr-Ramsey for HH, and write GrHG \stackrel{r}{\rightarrow} H, if every rr-colouring of the edges of GG has a monochromatic copy of HH. We show that if GrHG \stackrel{r}{\rightarrow} H, then for all tt, there exists nn such that G[n]rH[t]G[n] \stackrel{r}{\rightarrow} H[t]. In fact, we provide exponential lower and upper bounds for the minimum nn with G[n]rH[t]G[n] \stackrel{r}{\rightarrow} H[t], and conjecture an upper bound of the form ctc^t, where cc depends on HH and rr, but not on GG. We also show that this conjecture holds for G(n,p)G(n,p) with high probability, above the threshold for the event G(n,p)rHG(n,p) \stackrel{r}{\rightarrow} H.
