We give a negative answer to a question of Erdos and Hajnal: it is consistent that GCH holds and there is a colouring $c:[{\omega_2}]^2\to 2$ establishing $\omega_2 \not\to [(\omega_1;{\omega})]^2_2$ such that some colouring…
Recently, the authors showed that for every irrational number $\alpha$, there exist infinitely many positive integers $n$ represented by any given positive definite binary quadratic form $Q$, satisfying $||\alpha n||<n^{-(1/2-\varepsilon)}$…
For a positive integer $t$, let $b_{t}(n)$ denote the number of $t$-regular partitions of a nonnegative integer $n$. In a recent paper, Keith and Zanello established infinite families of congruences and self-similarity results modulo $2$…
In this paper we prove that if $S$ is any finite configuration of points in $\mathbb{Z}^2$, then any finite coloring of $\mathbb{E}^2$ must contain uncountably many monochromatic subsets homothetic to $S$. We extend a result of Brown,…
We prove the following result: there is a family $R = \langle R_0,R_1,\ldots \rangle$ of subsets of $\omega$ such that for every stable coloring $c : [\omega]^2 \to k$ hyperarithmetical in $R$ and every finite collection of Turing…
Ramsey's theorem asserts that every $k$-coloring of $[\omega]^n$ admits an infinite monochromatic set. Whenever $n \geq 3$, there exists a computable $k$-coloring of $[\omega]^n$ whose solutions compute the halting set. On the other hand,…
Raimi's theorem guarantees the existence of a partition of $\mathbb{N}$ into two parts with an unavoidable intersection property: for any finite coloring of $\mathbb{N}$, some color class intersects both parts infinitely many times, after…
We proved that for any matrix dilation and for any positive integer $n$, there exists a compactly supported tight wavelet frame with approximation order $n$. Explicit methods for construction of dual and tight wavelet frames with a given…
Let $E\subset \mathbb R^n$, $n\ge 2$, be a set of finite perimeter with $|E|=|B|$, where $B$ denotes the unit ball. When $n=2$, since convexification decreases perimeter (in the class of open connected sets), it is easy to prove the…
We construct for every integer $k\geq 3$ and every real $\mu\in(0, \frac{k-1}{k})$ a set of integers $X=X(k, \mu)$ which, when coloured with finitely many colours, contains a monochromatic $k$-term arithmetic progression, whilst every…
We prove that for every nonnegative integer $m$ there exists an $\varepsilon>0$ such that if $\lambda\in (0,\varepsilon]$ and $x$ is sufficiently large in terms of $m$, then the number of positive integers $n\leq x$ for which the interval…
This paper proposes a new approach to describe the stability of linear time-invariant systems via the torsion $\tau(t)$ of the state trajectory. For a system $\dot{r}(t)=Ar(t)$ where $A$ is invertible, we show that (1) if there exists a…
For a set $A \subset \mathbb{N}$ we characterize in terms of its density when there exists an infinite set $B \subset \mathbb{N}$ and $t \in \{0,1\}$ such that $B+B \subset A-t$, where $B+B : =\{b_1+b_2\colon b_1,b_2 \in B\}$. Specifically,…
We show the existence of several infinite monochromatic patterns in the integers obtained as values of suitable symmetric polynomials. The simplest example is the following. For every finite coloring of the natural numbers…
We prove from the existence of a Mahlo cardinal the consistency of the statement that $2^\omega = \omega_3$ holds and every stationary subset of $\omega_2 \cap \mathrm{cof}(\omega)$ reflects to an ordinal less than $\omega_2$ with…
We prove that for any $\varepsilon>0$, for any large enough $t$, there is a graph $G$ that admits no $K_t$-minor but admits a $(\frac32-\varepsilon)t$-colouring that is "frozen" with respect to Kempe changes, i.e. any two colour classes…
We show that every set $A$ of natural numbers with positive upper density can be shifted to contain the restricted sumset $\{b_1 + b_2 : b_1, b_2\in B \text{ and } b_1 \neq b_2 \}$ for some infinite set $B \subset A$.
We show that it is consistent relative to the existence of suitable large cardinals that for any countable-to-one coloring $c: [\omega_2]^2\to \omega_2$, there exists a closed subset $A\subseteq \omega_2$ of order type $\omega_1$ such that…
We answer a question posed by Hirschfeldt and Jockusch by showing that whenever $k > \ell$, Ramsey's theorem for singletons and $k$-colorings, $\mathsf{RT}^1_k$, is not strongly computably reducible to the stable Ramsey's theorem for…
We show that, given an infinite cardinal $\mu$, a graph has colouring number at most $\mu$ if and only if it contains neither of two types of subgraph. We also show that every graph with infinite colouring number has a well-ordering of its…
