A celebrated result of R\"odl and Ruci\'nski states that for every graph $F$, which is not a forest of stars and paths of length $3$, and fixed number of colours $r\ge 2$ there exist positive constants $c, C$ such that for $p \leq…

The $q$-color Ramsey number of a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ is the minimum integer $N$ such that any $q$-coloring of the complete $k$-uniform hypergraph on $N$ vertices contains a monochromatic copy of $H$. The study of these numbers is one…

Given a graph $H$, the maximal anti-Ramsey function $f(n,e,H)$ denotes the minimum integer $f$ for which there exists an $n$-vertex graph $G$ with at least $e$ edges admitting an edge-coloring with $f$ colors in which each copy of $H$ in…

In this paper we prove several results on Ramsey numbers $R(H,F)$ for a fixed graph $H$ and a large graph $F$, in particular for $F = K_n$. These results extend earlier work of Erd\H{o}s, Faudree, Rousseau and Schelp and of Balister, Schelp…

For fixed $s \ge 3$, we prove that if optimal $K_s$-free pseudorandom graphs exist, then the Ramsey number $r(s,t) = t^{s-1+o(1)}$ as $t \rightarrow \infty$. Our method also improves the best lower bounds for $r(C_{\ell},t)$ obtained by…

We study density and partition properties of polynomial equations in prime variables. We consider equations of the form $a_1h(x_1) + \cdots + a_sh(x_s)=b$, where the $a_i$ and $b$ are fixed coefficients, and $h$ is an arbitrary integer…

Daisies are a special type of hypergraphs introduced by Bollob\'{a}s, Leader and Malvenuto. An $r$-daisy determined by a pair of disjoint sets $K$ and $M$ is the $(r+|K|)$-uniform hypergraph $\{K\cup P:\: P\in M^{(r)}\}$. In [Combin.…

Let $f_r(n,v,e)$ denote the maximum number of edges in an $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices, in which the union of any $e$ distinct edges contains at least $v+1$ vertices. The study of $f_r(n,v,e)$ was initiated by Brown, Erd{\H{o}}s…

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…

The Ramsey number r(H) of a graph H is the minimum positive integer N such that every two-coloring of the edges of the complete graph K_N on N vertices contains a monochromatic copy of H. A graph H is d-degenerate if every subgraph of H has…

In 1995 Kim famously proved the Ramsey bound R(3,t) \ge c t^2/\log t by constructing an n-vertex graph that is triangle-free and has independence number at most C \sqrt{n \log n}. We extend this celebrated result, which is best possible up…

The size Ramsey number $ \hat{r}(G,H) $ of two graphs $ G $ and $ H $ is the smallest integer $ m $ such that there exists a graph $ F $ on $ m $ edges with the property that every red-blue colouring of the edges of $ F $, yields a red copy…

In a recent breakthrough Campos, Griffiths, Morris and Sahasrabudhe obtained the first exponential improvement of the upper bound on the diagonal Ramsey numbers since 1935. We shorten their proof, replacing the underlying book algorithm…

A graph on $n$ vertices is said to be \emph{$C$-Ramsey} if every clique or independent set of the graph has size at most $C \log n$. The only known constructions of Ramsey graphs are probabilistic in nature, and it is generally believed…

Ramsey theory is the study of conditions under which mathematical objects show order when partitioned. Ramsey theory on the integers concerns itself with partitions of $[1,n]$ into $r$ subsets and asks the question whether one (or more) of…

We improve the upper bound for diagonal Ramsey numbers to \[R(k+1,k+1)\le\exp(-c(\log k)^2)\binom{2k}{k}\] for $k\ge 3$. To do so, we build on a quasirandomness and induction framework for Ramsey numbers introduced by Thomason and extended…

A weakly optimal $K_s$-free $(n,d,\lambda)$-graph is a $d$-regular $K_s$-free graph on $n$ vertices with $d=\Theta(n^{1-\alpha})$ and spectral expansion $\lambda=\Theta(n^{1-(s-1)\alpha})$, for some fixed $\alpha>0$. Such a graph is called…

Given integers $p, q\ge2$, we say that a graph $G$ is $(K_p,K_q)$-free if there exists a red/blue edge coloring of $G$ such that it contains neither a red $K_p$ nor a blue $K_q$. Fix a function $f( n )$, the Ramsey-Tur\'{a}n number $RT(…
