We study the number of monochromatic solutions to linear equations in a $2$-coloring of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$. We show that any nontrivial linear equation has a constant fraction of solutions that are monochromatic in any $2$-coloring of…

We say that a subset $M$ of $\mathbb R^n$ is exponentially Ramsey if there are $\epsilon>0$ and $n_0$ such that $\chi(\mathbb R^n,M)\ge(1+\epsilon)^n$ for any $n>n_0$, where $\chi(\mathbb R^n,M)$ stands for the minimum number of colors in a…

For a graph $G$, the $k$-colour Ramsey number $R_k(G)$ is the least integer $N$ such that every $k$-colouring of the edges of the complete graph $K_N$ contains a monochromatic copy of $G$. Let $C_n$ denote the cycle on $n$ vertices. We show…

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…

The paper proves the existence of monochrome standard simplexes of a given volume on a multidimensional rational lattice painted in a finite number of colors.

In this note we study graphs $G_r$ with the property that every colouring of $E(G_r)$ with $r+1$ colours admits a copy of some graph $H$ using at most $r$ colours. For $1\le r\le e(H)$ such graphs occur naturally at intermediate steps in…

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…

A finite or infinite matrix $A$ is image partition regular provided that whenever $\mathbb N$ is finitely colored, there must be some $\vec{x}$ with entries from $\mathbb N$ such that all entries of $A\vec{x}$ are in some color class. In…

Schur's theorem states that in any $k$-colouring of the set of integers $[n]$ there is a monochromatic solution to $a+b=c$, provided $n$ is sufficiently large. Abbott and Wang studied the size of the largest subset of $[n]$ such that there…

We introduce and study a new type of Ramsey-Turan problems, a typical example of which is the following one: let c>0 and G be a graph of sufficiently large order n with minimum degree >3n/4. If the edges of G are colored in blue or red,…

We establish multiple recurrence results for pretentious measure-preserving multiplicative actions along generalized Pythagorean triples, that is, solutions to the equation $ax^2 + b y^2 = c z^2$. This confirms the ergodic-theoretic form of…

This paper proves limit theorems for the number of monochromatic edges in uniform random colorings of general random graphs. These can be seen as generalizations of the birthday problem (what is the chance that there are two friends with…

Fix integers $d,r\ge 2$ and suppose that the edge set of the $d$-fold Cartesian product of the $N$-clique $K_N^d$ is $r$-colored. We show that there is a copy of $K_n^d$ whose edges in each direction are monochromatic provided $N > 2^{2^{c…

A celebrated but non-effective theorem of Tibor Gallai states that for any finite set $A$ of $\Z^n$ and for any finite number of colors $c$ there is a minimal $m$ such that no coloring of the finite $m^n$-grid can avoid that a homothetic…

Recall that van der Waerden's theorem states that any finite coloring of the naturals has arbitrarily long monochromatic arithmetic sequences. We explore questions about the set of differences of those sequences.

Application of the Ramsey Infinite Theorem to the variational principles of physics is discussed. According to the Ramsey Infinite Theorem,there exists the infinite, monochromatic chain of the pathways (clique), which are completely built…

We determine the Ramsey number of a connected clique matching. That is, we show that if $G$ is a $2$-edge-coloured complete graph on $(r^2 - r - 1)n - r + 1$ vertices, then there is a monochromatic connected subgraph containing $n$ disjoint…

The Ramsey multiplicity problem asks for the minimum asymptotic density of monochromatic labelled copies of a graph $H$ in a red/blue colouring of the edges of $K_n$. We introduce an off-diagonal generalization in which the goal is to…

There exists a minimum integer $N$ such that any 2-coloring of $\{1,2,...,N\}$ admits a monochromatic solution to $x+y+kz =\ell w$ for $k,\ell \in \mathbb{Z}^+$, where $N$ depends on $k$ and $\ell$. We determine $N$ when $\ell-k \in…

We study systems of functional equations whose solutions can be parameterized in function of one variable; our main result proves that the partition regularity (PR) of such systems can be completely characterized by the existence of…
