The main result of this paper is an edge-coloured version of Tutte's $f$-factor theorem. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for an edge-coloured graph $G^c$ to have a properly coloured $f$-factor. We state and prove our result in…

Hindman proved in 1979 that no matter how natural numbers are colored in r colors, for a fixed positive integer r, there is an infinite subset X of numbers and a color t such that for any finite non-empty subset X' of X, the color of the…

We show that for every finite colouring of the natural numbers there exists $a,b >1$ such that the triple $\{a,b,a^b\}$ is monochromatic. We go on to show the partition regularity of a much richer class of patterns involving exponentiation.…

An old question in Ramsey theory asks whether any finite coloring of the natural numbers admits a monochromatic pair $\{x+y,xy\}$. We answer this question affirmatively in a strong sense by exhibiting a large new class of non-linear…

Let $E,F$ be two topological spaces and $u:E\rightarrow F$ be a map. \ If $F$ is Haudorff and $u$ is continuous, then its graph is closed. \ \ The Closed Graph Theorem establishes the converse when $E$ and $F$ are suitable objects of…

We characterize the strength, in terms of Weihrauch degrees, of certain problems related to Ramsey-like theorems concerning colourings of the rationals and of the natural numbers. The theorems we are chiefly interested in assert the…

In this paper, we explore affine semigroup versions of the convex geometry theorems of Helly, Tverberg, and Caratheodory. Additionally, we develop a new theory of colored affine semigroups, where the semigroup generators each receive a…

The tree theorem for pairs ($\mathsf{TT}^2_2$), first introduced by Chubb, Hirst, and McNicholl, asserts that given a finite coloring of pairs of comparable nodes in the full binary tree $2^{<\omega}$, there is a set of nodes isomorphic to…

A topological space is introduced in this paper. Just liking the plane, it's continuous, however its $n+1$ regions couldn't be mutually adjacent. Some important phenomenon about its cross-section are discussed. The geometric generating…

An equitable coloring of a graph $G$ is a proper vertex coloring of $G$ such that the sizes of any two color classes differ by at most one. In the paper, we pose a conjecture that offers a gap-one bound for the smallest number of colors…

We give a negative answer to a question of Erdos and Hajnal: it is consistent that GCH holds and there is a colouring $c:[{\omega_2}]^2\to 2$ establishing $\omega_2 \not\to [(\omega_1;{\omega})]^2_2$ such that some colouring…

Ramsey's theorem for $n$-tuples and $k$-colors ($\mathsf{RT}^n_k$) asserts that every k-coloring of $[\mathbb{N}]^n$ admits an infinite monochromatic subset. We study the proof-theoretic strength of Ramsey's theorem for pairs and two…

We study open colorings in certain classes of hereditary Lindel\"{o}f ($\mathsf{HL}$) spaces and submetrizable spaces. In particular, we show that the definible version for the Open Graph Axiom ($\mathsf{OGA}$) holds for the class of…

We first give an alternative proof of the Alon-Tarsi list coloring theorem. We use the ideas from this proof to obtain the following result, which is an additive coloring analog of the Alon-Tarsi Theorem: Let $G$ be a graph and let $D$ be…

An edge colouring $c$ of a graph $G$ is called conflic-free if every non-isolated edge of $G$ has a uniquely coloured neighbour in its open edge neighbourhood. The least number of colours admitting such a colouring is denoted by $\chi'_{\rm…
