In this article, we prove that Ramsey's theorem for pairs and two colors is $\Pi^1_1$-conservative over~$\mathsf{RCA}_0 + \mathsf{B}\Sigma^0_2 + \mathsf{WF}(\epsilon_0)$ and over~$\mathsf{RCA}_0 + \mathsf{B}\Sigma^0_2 + \bigcup_n…

The rainbow Ramsey theorem states that every coloring of tuples where each color is used a bounded number of times has an infinite subdomain on which no color appears twice. The restriction of the statement to colorings over pairs (RRT22)…

We prove that if the set of unordered pairs of real numbers is colored by finitely many colors, there is a set of reals homeomorphic to the rationals whose pairs have at most two colors. Our proof uses large cardinals and it verifies a…

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 both survey and extend a new technique from Lu Liu to prove separation theorems between products of Ramsey-type theorems over computable reducibility. We use this technique to show that Ramsey's theorem for $n$-tuples and three colors is…

We characterize the computational content and the proof-theoretic strength of a Ramsey-type theorem for bi-colorings of so-called {\em exactly large} sets. An {\it exactly large} set is a set $X\subset\Nat$ such that $\card(X)=\min(X)+1$.…

Ramsey's theorem states that for any coloring of the n-element subsets of N with finitely many colors, there is an infinite set H such that all n-element subsets of H have the same color. The strength of consequences of Ramsey's theorem has…

Let $\mathsf{TT}^2_k$ denote the combinatorial principle stating that every $k$-coloring of pairs of compatible nodes in the full binary tree has a homogeneous solution, i.e. an isomorphic subtree in which all pairs of compatible nodes have…

Inspired by a question of Kra, Moreira, Richter, and Robertson, we prove two new results about infinite polynomial configurations in large subsets of the rational numbers. First, given a finite coloring of $\mathbb{Q}$, we show that there…

A generic computation of a subset A of the natural numbers consists of a a computation that correctly computes most of the bits of A, and which never incorrectly computes any bits of A, but which does not necessarily give an answer for…

In this paper we present a simple approach to big Ramsey combinatorics of the Cantor set $2^\omega$. Using Infinite Dual Ramsey Theorem of Carlson and Simpson, we show that $2^\omega$, viewed as a topological space, has finite big Ramsey…

We prove that for every colouring of pairs of reals with finitely-many colours, there is a set homeomorphic to the rationals which takes no more than two colours. This was conjectured by Galvin in 1970, and a colouring of Sierpi{\'n}ski…

Given integers $m\le c$ and an exact $c$-coloring of the edges of a complete countably infinite graph (i.e. a coloring that uses exactly $c$ colors), must there be an infinite subgraph that is exactly $m$-colored? Using the Infinite Ramsey…

Given any polynomial $p$ in $C[X]$, we show that the set of irreducible matrices satisfying $p(A)=0$ is finite. In the specific case $p(X)=X^2-nX$, we count the number of irreducible matrices in this set and analyze the arising sequences…

In this note, we give an alternative proof of the following result. Let p, q >= 2 be two multiplicatively independent integers. If an infinite set of integers is both p- and q-recognizable, then it is syndetic. Notice that this result is…

We show that for every finite colouring of the natural numbers there exists $a,b >1$ such that the triple $\{a,b,a^b\}$ is monochromatic. We go on to show the partition regularity of a much richer class of patterns involving exponentiation.…

A countable structure is indivisible if for every coloring with finite range there is a monochromatic isomorphic subcopy of the structure. Each indivisible structure naturally corresponds to an indivisibility problem which outputs such a…

We study a reconstruction problem for colorings. Given a finite or countable set $X$, a coloring on $X$ is a function $\varphi: [X]^{2}\to \{0,1\}$, where $[X]^{2}$ is the collection of all 2-elements subsets of $X$. A set $H\subseteq X$ is…
