Ramsey multiplicity of apices of trees

Abstract

A graph HH is common if its Ramsey multiplicity, i.e., the minimum number of monochromatic copies of HH contained in any 22-edge-coloring of KnK_n, is asymptotically the same as the number of monochromatic copies in the random 22-edge-coloring of KnK_n. Erd\H{o}s conjectured that every complete graph is common, which was disproved by Thomason in the 1980s. Till today, a classification of common graphs remains a widely open challenging problem. Grzesik, Lee, Lidick\'y and Volec [Combin. Prob. Comput. 31 (2022), 907--923] conjectured that every kk-apex of any connected Sidorenko graph is common. We prove for k5k\le 5 that the kk-apex of any tree is common.
