In some recent papers the classical `splitting necklace theorem' is linked in an interesting way with a geometric `pattern avoidance problem'. We explore the topological constraints on the existence of a (relaxed) measurable coloring of R^d…

If all but two vertices of a triangulated sphere have degrees divisible by $k$, then the exceptional vertices are not adjacent. This theorem is proved for $k=2$ with the help of the coloring monodromy. For $k = 3, 4, 5$ colorings by the…

In this note, we prove that any 2-coloring of the plane contains 4 points of the same color forming a rhombus with unit sides and non-unit diagonals, answering a question of Axenovich, Liu, and the second author.

We study colorings of the Euclidean space constrained by \emph{hypersphere forcing conditions}: if an admissible hypersphere, $S_r(p)$, centered at a point $p$ and of radius $r$ contains a monochromatic set of points satisfying a certain…

For any countably infinite graph $G$, Ramsey's theorem guarantees an infinite monochromatic copy of $G$ in any $r$-coloring of the edges of the countably infinite complete graph $K_\mathbb{N}$. Taking this a step further, it is natural to…

We prove that for any point set P in the plane, a triangle T, and a positive integer k, there exists a coloring of P with k colors such that any homothetic copy of T containing at least ck^8 points of P, for some constant c, contains at…

We discuss a variant of the Ramsey and the directed Ramsey problem. First, consider a complete graph on $n$ vertices and a two-coloring of the edges such that every edge is colored with at least one color and the number of bicolored edges…

We present two novel six-colorings of the Euclidean plane that avoid monochromatic pairs of points at unit distance in five colors and monochromatic pairs at another specified distance $d$ in the sixth color. Such colorings have previously…

We prove that for all epsilon>0 there are c>0 and n_0 such that for all n>n_0 the following holds. For any two-colouring of the edges of $K_{n,n,n}$ one colour contains copies of all trees T of order t<(3-epsilon)n/2 and with maximum degree…

The multi-fold chromatic number of the plane $\chi_m$ is the smallest number of colors $k$, sufficient to color each point of the Euclidean plane in exactly $m$ colors, so that for any pair of points at a unit distance from each other, two…

We show that if we color the hyperedges of the complete $3$-uniform complete graph on $2n+\sqrt{18n+1}+2$ vertices with $n$ colors, then one of the color classes contains a loose path of length three.

The main result provide a common generalization for Ramsey-type theorems concerning finite colorings of edge sets of complete graphs with vertices in infinite semigroups. We capture the essence of theorems proved in different fields: for…

Ramsey's theorem, in the version of Erd\H{o}s and Szekeres, states that every 2-coloring of the edges of the complete graph on {1, 2,...,n} contains a monochromatic clique of order 1/2\log n. In this paper, we consider two well-studied…

An infinite graph is highly connected if the complement of any subgraph of smaller size is connected. We consider weaker versions of Ramsey's Theorem asserting that in any coloring of the edges of a complete graph there exist large highly…

Ramsey's theorem for $n$-tuples and $k$-colors ($\mathsf{RT}^n_k$) asserts that every k-coloring of $[\mathbb{N}]^n$ admits an infinite monochromatic subset. We study the proof-theoretic strength of Ramsey's theorem for pairs and two…
