The classical hypergraph Ramsey number $r_k(s,n)$ is the minimum $N$ such that for every red-blue coloring of the $k$-tuples of $\{1,\ldots, N\}$, there are $s$ integers such that every $k$-tuple among them is red, or $n$ integers such that…

A standard proof of Schur's Theorem yields that any $r$-coloring of $\{1,2,\dots,R_r-1\}$ yields a monochromatic solution to $x+y=z$, where $R_r$ is the classical $r$-color Ramsey number, the minimum $N$ such that any $r$-coloring of a…

An $r$-uniform hypergraph ($r$-graph for short) is called linear if every pair of vertices belong to at most one edge. A linear $r$-graph is complete if every pair of vertices are in exactly one edge. The famous Brown-Erd\H{o}s-S\'os…

The Ramsey number $r_k(s,n)$ is the minimum $N$ such that every red-blue coloring of the $k$-subsets of $\{1, \ldots, N\}$ contains a red set of size $s$ or a blue set of size $n$, where a set is red (blue) if all of its $k$-subsets are red…

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 show that, for $n$ large, there must exist at least \[\frac{n^t}{C^{(1+o(1))t^2}}\] monochromatic $K_t$s in any two-colouring of the edges of $K_n$, where $C \approx 2.18$ is an explicitly defined constant. The old lower bound, due to…

Using computational techniques we derive six new upper bounds on the classical two-color Ramsey numbers: R(3,10) <= 42, R(3,11) <= 50, R(3,13) <= 68, R(3,14) <= 77, R(3,15) <= 87, and R(3,16) <= 98. All of them are improvements by one over…

The Ramsey number $R(G_1, G_2, G_3)$ is the smallest positive integer $n$ such that for all 3-colorings of the edges of $K_n$ there is a monochromatic $G_1$ in the first color, $G_2$ in the second color, or $G_3$ in the third color. We…

For graphs $G_1,\ldots,G_k$, the Ramsey number $R(G_1,\ldots,G_k)$ is the smallest positive integer $N$ such that every $k$-edge-coloring of $K_N$ contains a monochromatic copy of $G_i$ in color $i$ for some $i\in[k]$. The Gallai--Ramsey…

A celebrated result of Chv\'atal, R\"odl, Szemer\'edi and Trotter states (in slightly weakened form) that, for every natural number $\Delta$, there is a constant $r_\Delta$ such that, for any connected $n$-vertex graph $G$ with maximum…

This article documents my journey down the rabbit hole, chasing what I have come to know as a particularly unyielding problem in Ramsey theory on the integers: the $2$-Large Conjecture. This conjecture states that if $D \subseteq…

Let $r_k(s, e; t)$ denote the smallest $N$ such that any red/blue edge coloring of the complete $k$-uniform hypergraph on $N$ vertices contains either $e$ red edges among some $s$ vertices, or a blue clique of size $t$. Erd\H os and Hajnal…

Let $r,s,t\geq2$ be integers. For $r$-graphs $G$ and $F_1,\dots,F_s$, we write $G\to(F_1,\dots,F_s)$ if every $s$-edge-coloring of $G$ yields a monochromatic copy of $F_i$ in the $i$-th color for some $1\leq i\leq s$. Let…

The induced Ramsey number $R_{\mathrm{ind}}(H; r)$ of a graph $H$ is the minimum number $N$ such that there exists a graph with $N$ vertices for which all $r$-colourings of its edges contain a monochromatic induced copy of $H$. Our main…

We study Ramsey-type problems in Gallai-colorings. Given a graph $G$ and an integer $k\ge1$, the Gallai-Ramsey number $gr_k(K_3,G)$ is the least positive integer $n$ such that every $k$-coloring of the edges of the complete graph on $n$…

For a graph $G$, we write $G\rightarrow \big(K_{r+1},\mathcal{T}(n,D)\big)$ if every blue-red colouring of the edges of $G$ contains either a blue copy of $K_{r+1}$, or a red copy of each tree with $n$ edges and maximum degree at most $D$.…

The star-critical Ramsey number is a refinement of the concept of a Ramsey number. In this paper, we give equivalent criteria for which the star-critical Ramsey number vanishes. Next, we provide a new general lower bound for multicolor…

We prove that, for all $k \ge 3,$ and any integers $\Delta, n$ with $n \ge \Delta,$ there exists a $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices with maximum degree at most $\Delta$ whose $4$-color Ramsey number is at least $\mathrm{tw}_k(c_k…

In a seminal work, Cheng and Xu proved that for any positive integer \(r\), there exists an integer \(n_0\), independent of \(r\), such that every \(r\)-coloring of the \(n\)-dimensional Euclidean space \(\mathbb{E}^n\) with \(n \ge n_0\)…
