A conjecture of Erd\H{o}s, Graham, Montgomery, Rothschild, Spencer and Straus states that, with the exception of equilateral triangles, any two-coloring of the plane will have a monochromatic congruent copy of every three-point…

We give a new, simple proof for the lower bound of the chromatic number of the Euclidean plane with two forbidden distances, based on a graph with only 16 vertices.

We consider the following problem: Let $\mathcal{L}$ be an arrangement of $n$ lines in $\mathbb{R}^3$ colored red, green, and blue. Does there exist a vertical plane $P$ such that a line on $P$ simultaneously bisects all three classes of…

We study the Erdos distance problem over finite Euclidean and non-Euclidean spaces. Our main tools are graphs associated to finite Euclidean and non-Euclidean spaces that are considered in Bannai-Shimabukuro-Tanaka (2004, 2007). These…

We prove that in every direction in the Euclidean plane, there exists a line containing no double exponential time random (ee-random) points. This means each point on these lines has an algorithmically predictable location, to the extent…

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…

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…

Huemer et al. (Discrete Mathematics, 2019) proved that for any two point sets $R$ and $B$ with $|R|=|B|$, the perfect matching that matches points of $R$ with points of $B$, and maximizes the total \emph{squared} Euclidean distance of the…

It is shown that a separated sequence of points in the unit disc of the complex plane is in fact uniformly separated, if there exists a certain intermediate sequence whose separated subsequences are uniformly separated. This property is…

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…

Fulton asked how many solutions to a problem of enumerative geometry can be real, when that problem is one of counting geometric figures of some kind having specified position with respect to some general fixed figures. For the problem of…

We give a full, correct proof of the following result, earlier claimed by Erd\H{o}s and Komj\'ath. If the Continuum Hypothesis holds then there is a coloring of the plane with countably many colors, with no monocolored right triangle.

We prove that for every integer $k$, every finite set of points in the plane can be $k$-colored so that every half-plane that contains at least $2k-1$ points, also contains at least one point from every color class. We also show that the…

We present a Rainbow Ramsey version of the well-known Ramsey-type theorem of Richard Rado. We use techniques from the Geometry of Numbers. We also disprove two conjectures proposed in the literature.

We address a core partition regularity problem in Ramsey theory by proving that every finite coloring of the positive integers contains monochromatic Pythagorean pairs, i.e., $x,y\in \mathbb{N}$ such that $x^2\pm y^2=z^2$ for some $z\in…
