We consider a Ramsey statement for pairs of maps between trees, where one is an embedding as defined by Deuber and the other is a rigid surjection as defined by Solecki. We show that there is no Ramsey Theorem for pairs of maps where the…
In 1960, Asplund and Gr\"unbaum proved that every intersection graph of axis-parallel rectangles in the plane admits an $O(\omega^2)$-coloring, where $\omega$ is the maximum size of a clique. We present the first asymptotic improvement over…
Hindman's theorem says that every finite coloring of the natural numbers has a monochromatic set of finite sums. Ramsey algebras are structures that satisfy an analogue of Hindman's Theorem. This paper introduces Ramsey algebras and…
The Ramsey number r_k(s,n) is the minimum N such that every red-blue coloring of the k-tuples of an N-element set contains either a red set of size s or a blue set of size n, where a set is called red (blue) if all k-tuples from this set…
We explore the relation between various versions of Ramsey theorem and bounding schemes in model ${N}$ of a fragment of arithmetic $F$. Our goal is to recast, in a different framework, and extend some results of Hirst \cite{Hirst-1987}, see…
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…
We give a partial answer to the following question of Dobrinen: For a given topological Ramsey space $\mathcal{R}$, are the notions of selective for $\mathcal{R}$ and Ramsey for $\mathcal{R}$ equivalent? Every topological Ramsey space…
Continuing the study of complexity theory of Koepke's Ordinal Turing Machines (OTMs) that was started by Rin, L\"owe and the author, we prove the following results: (1) An analogue of Ladner's theorem for OTMs holds: That is, there are…
Computability theory is a discipline in the intersection of computer science and mathematical logic where the fundamental question is: given two mathematical objects X and Y, does X compute Y in principle? In case X and Y are real numbers,…
We observe that an old theorem of Graham implies that for any positive integer $s$, there exists some positive integer $T(s)$ such that every $s$-colouring of $\mathbb{Z}^2$ contains a monochromatic pair of points $(x,y),(x',y')$ with…
The family of finite subsets $s$ of the natural numbers such that $|s|=1+\min s$ is known as the Schreier barrier in combinatorics and Banach Space theory, and as the family of exactly $\omega$-large sets in Logic. We formulate and prove…
We provide a general framework to construct colorings avoiding short monochromatic arithmetic progressions in Euclidean Ramsey theory. Specifically, if $\ell_m$ denotes $m$ collinear points with consecutive points of distance one apart, we…
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…
Many important problems in combinatorics and other related areas can be phrased in the language of independent sets in hypergraphs. Recently Balogh, Morris and Samotij, and independently Saxton and Thomason developed very general container…
We prove a generalised Ramsey--Tur\'an theorem for matchings, which (a) simultaneously generalises the Cockayne--Lorimer Theorem (Ramsey for matchings) and the Erd\H{o}s--Gallai Theorem (Tur\'an for matchings), and (b) is a generalised…
We show that RT(2,4) cannot be proved with one typical application of RT(2,2) in an intuitionistic extension of RCA0 to higher types, but that this does not remain true when the law of the excluded middle is added. The argument uses…
The paper is devoted to a reverse-mathematical study of some well-known consequences of Ramsey's theorem for pairs, focused on the chain-antichain principle $\mathsf{CAC}$, the ascending-descending sequence principle $\mathsf{ADS}$, and the…
We discuss the rainbow Ramsey theorems at limit cardinals and successors of singular cardinals, addressing some questions in \cite{MR2354904} and \cite{MR2902230}. In particular, we show for inaccessible $\kappa$,…
We study the structure of red-blue edge colorings of complete graphs, with no copies of the $n$-cycle $C_n$ in red, and no copies of the $n$-wheel $W_n = C_n \ast K_1$ in blue, for an odd integer $n$. Our first main result is that in any…
The set-colouring Ramsey number $R_{r,s}(k)$ is defined to be the minimum $n$ such that if each edge of the complete graph $K_n$ is assigned a set of $s$ colours from $\{1,\ldots,r\}$, then one of the colours contains a monochromatic clique…
