One of the central questions in Ramsey theory asks how small can be the size of the largest clique and independent set in a graph on $N$ vertices. By the celebrated result of Erd\H{o}s from 1947, the random graph on $N$ vertices with edge…
The Ramsey number $r(H)$ of a graph $H$ is the minimum $n$ such that any two-coloring of the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ contains a monochromatic copy of $H$. The threshold Ramsey multiplicity $m(H)$ is then the minimum number of…
If $G$ is a graph and $\vec H$ is an oriented graph, we write $G\to \vec H$ to say that every orientation of the edges of $G$ contains $\vec H$ as a subdigraph. We consider the case in which $G=G(n,p)$, the binomial random graph. We…
A classical result of Chv\'atal implies that if $n \geq (r-1)(t-1) +1$, then any colouring of the edges of $K_n$ in red and blue contains either a monochromatic red $K_r$ or a monochromatic blue $P_t$. We study a natural generalization of…
We prove a new generalisation of Ramsey's theorem by showing that every $2$-edge-coloured graph with sufficiently large minimum degree contains a monochromatic induced subgraph whose minimum degree remains large. From this, we also derive…
We prove essentially sharp bounds for Ramsey numbers of ordered hypergraph matchings, inroduced recently by Dudek, Grytczuk, and Ruci\'{n}ski. Namely, for any $r \ge 2$ and $n \ge 2$, we show that any collection $\mathcal H$ of $n$ pairwise…
For any countably infinite graph $G$, Ramsey's theorem guarantees an infinite monochromatic copy of $G$ in any $r$-coloring of the edges of the countably infinite complete graph $K_\mathbb{N}$. Taking this a step further, it is natural to…
For graphs $G$ and $H$, we write $G \overset{\mathrm{rb}}{\longrightarrow} H $ if any proper edge-coloring of $G$ contains a rainbow copy of $H$, i.e., a copy where no color appears more than once. Kohayakawa, Konstadinidis and the last…
Let $r,s,t\geq2$ be integers. For $r$-graphs $G$ and $F_1,\dots,F_s$, we write $G\to(F_1,\dots,F_s)$ if every $s$-edge-coloring of $G$ yields a monochromatic copy of $F_i$ in the $i$-th color for some $1\leq i\leq s$. Let…
Given a hypergraph $F$ and a number of colours $r$, there exists a hypergraph $H$ of the same girth satisfying $H\longrightarrow (F)_r$. Moreover, for every linear hypergraph $F$ there exists a Ramsey hypergraph $H$ that locally looks like…
We give a characterization of vertex-monotone properties with sharp thresholds in a Poisson random geometric graph or hypergraph. As an application we show that a geometric model of random k-SAT exhibits a sharp threshold for…
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…
Given a graph $H$, let $\chi_H(\mathbb{R}^n)$ be the smallest positive integer $r$ such that there exists an $r$-coloring of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with no monochromatic unit-copy of $H$, that is a set of $|V(H)|$ vertices of the same color such…
An infinite graph is highly connected if the complement of any subgraph of smaller size is connected. We consider weaker versions of Ramsey's Theorem asserting that in any coloring of the edges of a complete graph there exist large highly…
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…
Given a $k$-uniform hypergraph $G$ and a set of $k$-uniform hypergraphs $\mathcal{H}$, the generalized Ramsey number $f(G,\mathcal{H},q)$ is the minimum number of colors needed to edge-color $G$ so that every copy of every hypergraph $H\in…
In this note we consider a Ramsey property of random $d$-regular graphs, $\mathcal{G}(n,d)$. Let $r\ge 2$ be fixed. Then w.h.p. the edges of $\mathcal{G}(n, 2r)$ can be colored such that every monochromatic component has size $o(n)$. On the…
Ramsey's Theorem states that a graph $G$ has bounded order if and only if $G$ contains no complete graph $K_n$ or empty graph $E_n$ as its induced subgraph. The Gy\'arf\'as-Sumner conjecture says that a graph $G$ has bounded chromatic…
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…
We investigate the threshold $p_{\vec H}=p_{\vec H}(n)$ for the Ramsey-type property $G(n,p)\to \vec H$, where $G(n,p)$ is the binomial random graph and $G\to\vec H$ indicates that every orientation of the graph $G$ contains the oriented…
