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,…

We prove a theorem ensuring that the compositions of certain Ramsey families are still Ramsey. As an application, we show that in any finite coloring of $\mathbb{N}$ there is an infinite set $A$ and an as large as desired finite set $B$…

We show that the class of finite rooted binary plane trees is a Ramsey class (with respect to topological embeddings that map leaves to leaves). That is, for all such trees P,H and every natural number k there exists a tree T such that for…

Ramsey's theorem states that each coloring has an infinite homogeneous set, but these sets can be arbitrarily spread out. Paul Erdos and Fred Galvin proved that for each coloring f, there is an infinite set that is "packed together" which…

We consider the restriction of Ramsey's theorem that arises from considering only translation-invariant colourings of pairs, and show that this has the same strength (both from the viewpoint of Reverse Mathematics and from the viewpoint of…

In this thesis, we investigate the computational content and the logical strength of Ramsey's theorem and its consequences. For this, we use the frameworks of reverse mathematics and of computable reducibility. We proceed to a systematic…

We consider finitary approximations of the (embedding) Ramsey property. Using a class of homogeneous reducts of random ordered hypergraphs, we prove that these properties form a strict hierarchy. We also show that every class of finite…

In Euclidean Ramsey Theory usually we are looking for monochromatic configurations in the Euclidean space, whose points are colored with a fixed number of colors. In the canonical version, the number of colors is arbitrary, and we are…

The purpose is to study the strength of Ramsey's Theorem for pairs restricted to recursive assignments of $k$-many colors, with respect to Intuitionistic Heyting Arithmetic. We prove that for every natural number $k \geq 2$, Ramsey's…

We study a generalization of a famous result of Goodman and establish that asymptotically at least a $1/256$ fraction of all triangles needs to be monochromatic in any four-coloring of the edges of a complete graph. We also show that any…

In this article, we investigate homogeneous versions of certain nonlinear Ramsey-theoretic results, with three significant applications. As the first application, we prove that for every finite coloring of $\mathbb{Z}^+$, there exist an…

Carlson introduced the notion of a Ramsey space as a generalization to the Ellentuck space. When a Ramsey space is induced by an algebra, Carlson suggested a study of its purely combinatorial version now called Ramsey algebra. Some basic…

Hindman proved that, whenever the set $\mathbb{N}$ of naturals is finitely colored, there must exist non-constant monochromatic solution of the equation $a+b=cd$. In this paper we extend this result for dense subsemigroups of $((0, \infty),…

The Dense Hindman's Theorem states that, in any finite coloring of the integers, one may find a single color and a "dense" set $B_1$, for each $b_1\in B_1$ a "dense" set $B_2^{b_1}$ (depending on $b_1$), for each $b_2\in B_2^{b_1}$ a…

In this paper we study a very general finite Ramsey theorem, where both the sets being colored and the homogeneous set must satisfy some largeness notion. For the homogeneous set this has already been done using the notion of…

A finite set $X$ in a Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ is called Ramsey if for every $k$ there exists an integer $n$ such that whenever $\mathbb{R}^n$ is coloured with $k$ colours, there is a monochromatic copy of $X$. Graham conjectured that…

Ramsey's theorem for pairs asserts that every 2-coloring of the pairs of integers has an infinite monochromatic subset. In this paper, we study a strengthening of Ramsey's theorem for pairs due to Erdos and Rado, which states that every…

Ramsey theory enables re-shaping of the basic ideas of quantum mechanics. Quantum observables represented by linear Hermitian operators are seen as the vertices of a graph. Relations of commutation define the coloring of edges linking the…

We show that, for every $r, k$, there is an $n = n(r,k)$ so that any $r$-coloring of the edges of the complete graph on $[n]$ will yield a monochromatic complete subgraph on vertices ${a + \sum_{i \in I} d_i \mid I \subseteq [k]}$ for some…
