The chromatic number of the plane is the chromatic number of the uncountably infinite graph that has as its vertices the points of the plane and has an edge between two points if their distance is 1. This chromatic number is denoted…

Ramsey's theorem, concerning the guarantee of certain monochromatic patterns in large enough edge-coloured complete graphs, is a fundamental result in combinatorial mathematics. In this work, we highlight the connection between this…

We consider infinite graphs. The distinguishing number $D(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of colours in a vertex colouring of $G$ that is preserved only by the trivial automorphism. An analogous invariant for edge colourings is…

For a connected simple graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with chromatic number $\chi$, the distance Laplacian matrix is $\DL(G)=\operatorname{diag}(\Tr_G(v_1),\dots,\Tr_G(v_n))-D(G)$, where $D(G)$ is the distance matrix and $\Tr_G(v)=\sum_{u\in…

Given a graph $G$, a subset $M\subseteq V(G)$ is a mutual-visibility (MV) set if for every $u,v\in M$, there exists a $u,v$-geodesic whose internal vertices are not in $M$. We investigate proper vertex colorings of graphs whose color…

A \emph{dynamic colouring} of a graph is a proper colouring in which no neighbourhood of a non-leaf vertex is monochromatic. The \emph{dynamic colouring number} $\chi_2(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the least number of colours needed for a dynamic…

For a fixed infinite graph $H$, we study the largest density of a monochromatic subgraph isomorphic to $H$ that can be found in every two-coloring of the edges of $K_{\mathbb{N}}$. This is called the Ramsey upper density of $H$, and was…

In this paper we consider the following question in the spirit of Ramsey theory: Given $x\in A^\omega,$ where $A$ is a finite non-empty set, does there exist a finite coloring of the non-empty factors of $x$ with the property that no…

A famous result in arithmetic Ramsey theory says that for many linear homogeneous equations $E$ there is a threshold value $R_k(E)$ (the Rado number of $E$) such that for any $k$-coloring of the integers in the interval $[1,n]$, with $n \ge…

Given a finite coloring (or finite partition) of the free semigroup $A^+$ over a set $A$, we consider various types of monochromatic factorizations of right sided infinite words $x\in A^\omega$. Some stronger versions of the usual notion of…

A finite or infinite matrix $A$ with rational entries (and only finitely many non-zero entries in each row) is called image partition regular if, whenever the natural numbers are finitely coloured, there is a vector $x$, with entries in the…

The multicolor Ramsey number problem asks, for each pair of natural numbers $\ell$ and $t$, for the largest $\ell$-coloring of a complete graph with no monochromatic clique of size $t$. Recent works of Conlon-Ferber and Wigderson have…

Given a graph $G$, its Ramsey number $r(G)$ is the minimum $N$ so that every two-coloring of $E(K_N)$ contains a monochromatic copy of $G$. It was conjectured by Conlon, Fox, and Sudakov that if one deletes a single vertex from $G$, the…

For all non-degenerate triangles T, we determine the minimum number of colors needed to color the plane such that no max-norm isometric copy of T is monochromatic.

It is known that, for an oriented hypergraph with (vertex) coloring number $\chi$ and smallest and largest normalized Laplacian eigenvalues $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_N$, respectively, the inequality $\chi\geq…

The clique chromatic number of a graph is the minimum number of colours needed to colour its vertices so that no inclusion-wise maximal clique which is not an isolated vertex is monochromatic. We show that every graph of maximum degree…

We prove that for any $\ell_p$-norm in the plane with $1<p<\infty$ and for every infinite $\mathcal{M} \subset \mathbb{R}^2$, there exists a two-colouring of the plane such that no isometric copy of $\mathcal{M}$ is monochromatic. On the…

The chromatic number $\chi\left(\mathcal{E^2}\right)$ of the plane is known to be some integer between 4 and 7, inclusive. We prove a limiting result that says, roughly, that one cannot increase the lower bound on…

We consider natural generalization of plane chromatic number problem. We consider chromatic numbers $\chi$ of spaces $\mathbb{R}^n \times [0,\varepsilon]^k$ for arbitrary small $\varepsilon$. We prove that $5 \leq\chi(\mathbb{R}^2\times…

We extend two well-known results in Ramsey theory from from $K_n$ to arbitrary $n$-chromatic graphs. The first is a note of Erd\H os and Rado stating that in every 2-coloring of the edges of $K_n$ there is a monochromatic tree on $n$…
