In this article, we prove that Ramsey's theorem for pairs and two colors is a $\forall \Pi^0_4$ conservative extension of $\mathsf{RCA}_0 + \mathsf{B}\Sigma^0_2$, where a $\forall \Pi^0_4$ formula consists of a universal quantifier over…

We show that RT(2,4) cannot be proved with one typical application of RT(2,2) in an intuitionistic extension of RCA0 to higher types, but that this does not remain true when the law of the excluded middle is added. The argument uses…

We prove that any proof of a $\forall \Sigma^0_2$ sentence in the theory $\mathrm{WKL}_0 + \mathrm{RT}^2_2$ can be translated into a proof in $\mathrm{RCA}_0$ at the cost of a polynomial increase in size. In fact, the proof in…

Topological Ramsey theory studies a class of combinatorial topological spaces, known as topological Ramsey spaces, unifying the essential features of those combinatorial frames where the Ramsey property is equivalent to the Baire property.…

Ramsey quantifiers are a natural object of study not only for logic and computer science, but also for the formal semantics of natural language. Restricting attention to finite models leads to the natural question whether all Ramsey…

The main results of this paper (a) extend the finite Ramsey partition theorem, and (b) employ this extension to obtain a stronger form of the infinite Nash-Williams partition theorem, and also a new proof of Ellentuck's, and hence…

We complete a 40-year old program on the computability-theoretic analysis of Ramsey's theorem, starting with Jockusch in 1972, and improving a result of Chong, Slaman and Yang in 2014. Given a set $X$, let $[X]^n$ be the collection of all…

Generalised indiscernibles highlight a strong link between model theory and structural Ramsey theory. In this paper, we use generalised indiscernibles as tools to prove results in both these areas. More precisely, we first show that a…

We study the reverse mathematics and computability-the\-o\-re\-tic strength of (stable) Ramsey's Theorem for pairs and the related principles COH and DNR. We show that SRT$^2_2$ implies DNR over RCA$_0$ but COH does not, and answer a…

In this article, we study a degenerate version of Ramsey's theorem for pairs and two colors ($\mathsf{RT}^2_2$), in which the homogeneous sets for color 1 are of bounded size. By $\mathsf{RT}^2_2$, it follows that every such coloring admits…

We prove a Ramsey theorem for finite sets equipped with a partial order and a fixed number of linear orders extending the partial order. This is a common generalization of two recent Ramsey theorems due to Soki\'c. As a bonus, our proof…

We use a second-order analogy $\mathsf{PRA}^2$ of $\mathsf{PRA}$ to investigate the proof-theoretic strength of theorems in countable algebra, analysis, and infinite combinatorics. We compare our results with similar results in the…

A cyclic proof system gives us another way of representing inductive definitions and efficient proof search. In 2011 Brotherston and Simpson conjectured the equivalence between the provability of the classical cyclic proof system and that…

When the Canonical Ramsey's Theorem by Erd\H{o}s and Rado is applied to regressive functions one obtains the Regressive Ramsey's Theorem by Kanamori and McAloon. Taylor proved a "canonical" version of Hindman's Theorem, analogous to the…

A major theme in arithmetic combinatorics is proving multiple recurrence results on semigroups (such as Szemer\'edi's theorem) and this can often be done using methods of ergodic Ramsey theory. What usually lies at the heart of such proofs…

It is well known that many theorems in recursion theory can be "relativized". This means that they remain true if partial recursive functions are replaced by functions that are partial recursive relative to some fixed oracle set. Uspensky…
