We obtain a double exponential bound in Brauer's generalisation of van der Waerden's theorem, which concerns progressions with the same colour as their common difference. Such a result has been obtained independently and in much greater…

An open question in reverse mathematics is whether the cohesive principle, $\COH$, is implied by the stable form of Ramsey's theorem for pairs, $\SRT^2_2$, in $\omega$-models of $\RCA$. One typical way of establishing this implication would…

Every function over the natural numbers has an infinite subdomain on which the function is non-decreasing. Motivated by a question of Dzhafarov and Schweber, we study the reverse mathematics of variants of this statement. It turns out 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…

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 show that a version of Ramsey's theorem for trees for arbitrary exponents is equivalent to the subsystem ACA' of reverse mathematics.

We describe here how the recent Wagner's approach for applying reinforcement learning to construct examples in graph theory can be used in the search for critical graphs for small Ramsey numbers. We illustrate this application by providing…

Harary's conjecture $r(C_3,G)\leq 2q+1$ for every isolated-free graph G with $q$ edges was proved independently by Sidorenko and Goddard and Klietman. In this paper instead of $C_3$ we consider $K_{2,k}$ and seek a sharp upper bound for…

We answer a question posed by Hirschfeldt and Jockusch by showing that whenever $k > \ell$, Ramsey's theorem for singletons and $k$-colorings, $\mathsf{RT}^1_k$, is not strongly computably reducible to the stable Ramsey's theorem for…

Building on recent work of Mattheus and Verstra\"ete, we establish a general connection between Ramsey numbers of the form $r(F,t)$ for $F$ a fixed graph and a variant of the Zarankiewicz problem asking for the maximum number of 1s in an…

Let $\mathfrak M=(M,\mathcal X)$ be a model of $\mathsf{RCA}_0+\text{$\Sigma^0_2$-bounding}$ in which $\Sigma^0_2(A)$-induction fails for some $A\in\mathcal X$. We show that (i) if $\mathfrak M$ is a model of the combinatorial principle…

In this paper we investigate the reverse mathematics of higher-order analogues of the theory \ATRz{} within the framework of higher order reverse mathematics developed by Kohlenbach \cite{Koh01}. We define a theory \RCAzthr, a close…

We study the order theoretic properties of relative weak injectivity, w.r.i., in short, in the category of C*-algebras. We prove that Arveson's extension theorem, with additional order assumption on the morphisms, is tightly connected with…

We show that it is consistent relative to the existence of suitable large cardinals that for any countable-to-one coloring $c: [\omega_2]^2\to \omega_2$, there exists a closed subset $A\subseteq \omega_2$ of order type $\omega_1$ such that…
