Let $R(C_n)$ be the Ramsey number of the cycle on $n$ vertices. We prove that, for some $C > 0$, with high probability every $2$-colouring of the edges of $G(N,p)$ has a monochromatic copy of $C_n$, as long as $N\geq R(C_n) + C/p$ and $p…
A well-known result of Burr, Erd\H{o}s and Spencer [Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, 1975] determines the $2$-colour Ramsey number for any sufficiently large collection of vertex-disjoint copies of a fixed graph $H$…
Given an integer base $b\geq 2$, a number $\rho\geq 1$ of colors, and a finite sequence $\Lambda=(\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_\rho)$ of positive integers, we introduce the concept of a $\Lambda$-restricted $\rho$-colored $b$-ary partition of…
We consider $m$-colorings of the edges of a complete graph, where each color class is defined semi-algebraically with bounded complexity. The case $m = 2$ was first studied by Alon et al., who applied this framework to obtain surprisingly…
Schaefer's theorem is a complexity classification result for so-called Boolean constraint satisfaction problems: it states that every Boolean constraint satisfaction problem is either contained in one out of six classes and can be solved in…
Suppose that all primes are colored with k colors. Then there exist monochromatic primes p1, p2, p3 such that p1+p2=p3+1.
A path-matching of order $p$ is a vertex disjoint union of nontrivial paths spanning $p$ vertices. Burr and Roberts, and Faudree and Schelp determined the 2-color Ramsey number of path-matchings. In this paper we study the multicolor Ramsey…
This article resolves two related problems in Ramsey theory on the integers. We show that for any finite coloring of the set of natural numbers, there exist numbers $a$ and $b$ for which the configuration $\{a, b, ab, a(b+1)\}$ is…
One formulation of the Erdos-Szekeres monotone subsequence theorem states that for any red/blue coloring of the edge set of the complete graph on $\{1, 2, \ldots, N\}$, there exists a monochromatic red $s$-clique or a monochromatic blue…
In this article, we investigate homogeneous versions of certain nonlinear Ramsey-theoretic results, with three significant applications. As the first application, we prove that for every finite coloring of $\mathbb{Z}^+$, there exist an…
Ramsey theory is a central and active branch of combinatorics. Although Ramsey numbers for graphs have been extensively investigated since Ramsey's work in the 1930s, there is still an exponential gap between the best known lower and upper…
The multi-variable Schmidt polynomials are defined by $$ S_n^{(r)}(x_0,\ldots,x_n):=\sum_{k=0}^n {n+k \choose 2k}^{r}{2k\choose k} x_k. $$ We prove that, for any positive integers $m$, $n$, $r$, and $\varepsilon=\pm 1$, all the coefficients…
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…
We study a question with connections to linear algebra, real algebraic geometry, combinatorics, and complex analysis. Let $p(x,y)$ be a polynomial of degree $d$ with $N$ positive coefficients and no negative coefficients, such that $p=1$…
We prove a quantitative Roth-type theorem for polynomial corners in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Let $P_1$ and $P_2$ be two linearly independent polynomials with zero constant term. We show that any measurable subset of $[0,1]^2$ with positive measure…
We prove the existence of complex polynomials $p(z)$ of degree $n$ and $q(z)$ of degree $m<n$ such that the harmonic polynomial $ p(z) + \overline{q(z)}$ has at least $\lceil n \sqrt{m} \rceil$ many zeros. This provides an array of new…
Suppose that $\mathbb{N}$ is $2$-coloured. Then there are infinitely many monochromatic solutions to $x + y = z^2$. On the other hand, there is a $3$-colouring of $\mathbb{N}$ with only finitely many monochromatic solutions to this…
Let $P=\{p_{1},\ld,p_{r}\}\subset\Q[n_{1},\ld,n_{m}]$ be a family of polynomials such that $p_{i}(\Z^{m})\sle\Z$, $i=1,\ld,r$. We say that the family $P$ has {\it PSZ property} if for any set $E\sle\Z$ with…
In this series of papers we advance Ramsey theory of colorings over partitions. In this part, we concentrate on anti-Ramsey relations, or, as they are better known, strong colorings, and in particular solve two problems from [CKS21]. It is…
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…
