Let H_1, ..., H_k be graphs. The multicolor Ramsey number r(H_1,...,H_k) is the minimum integer r such that in every edge-coloring of K_r by k colors, there is a monochromatic copy of H_i in color i for some 1 <= i <= k. In this paper, we…

A graph $G$ is said to be Ramsey for a tuple of graphs $(H_1,\dots,H_r)$ if every $r$-coloring of the edges of $G$ contains a monochromatic copy of $H_i$ in color $i$, for some $i$. A fundamental question at the intersection of Ramsey…

An edge-colored hypergraph is rainbow if all of its edges have different colors. Given two hypergraphs $\mathcal{H}$ and $\mathcal{G}$, the anti-Ramsey number $ar(\mathcal{G}, \mathcal{H})$ of $\mathcal{H}$ in $\mathcal{G}$ is the maximum…

Ramsey's theorem asserts that every $k$-coloring of $[\omega]^n$ admits an infinite monochromatic set. Whenever $n \geq 3$, there exists a computable $k$-coloring of $[\omega]^n$ whose solutions compute the halting set. On the other hand,…

An infinite graph is said to be highly connected if the induced subgraph on the complement of any set of vertices of smaller size is connected. We continue the study of weaker versions of Ramsey Theorem on uncountable cardinals asserting…

Given a graph $H$ and a positive integer $k$, the {\it $k$-colored Ramsey number} $R_k(H)$ is the minimum integer $n$ such that in every $k$-edge-coloring of the complete graph $K_{n}$, there is a monochromatic copy of $H$. Given two graphs…

Let $H_1$ and $H_2$ be graphs. A graph $G$ has the constrained Ramsey property for $(H_1,H_2)$ if every edge-colouring of $G$ contains either a monochromatic copy of $H_1$ or a rainbow copy of $H_2$. Our main result gives a 0-statement for…

The odd-Ramsey number $r_{\text{odd}}(n,H)$ of a graph $H$ is the minimum number of colors needed to edge-color $K_n$ so that in every copy of $H$ some color occurs an odd number of times, and the unique-Ramsey number $r_{\text{u}}(n,H)$ is…

Schur's Theorem states that, for any $r \in \mathbb{Z}^+$, there exists a minimum integer $S(r)$ such that every $r$-coloring of $\{1,2,\dots,S(r)\}$ admits a monochromatic solution to $x+y=z$. Recently, Budden determined the related…

The canonical van der Waerden theorem asserts that, for sufficiently large $n$, every colouring of $[n]$ contains either a monochromatic or a rainbow arithmetic progression of length $k$ ($k$-AP, for short). In this paper, we determine the…

In 1967, Gerencs\'er and Gy\'arf\'as proved a result which is considered the starting point of graph-Ramsey theory: In every 2-coloring of $K_n$ there is a monochromatic path on $\lceil(2n+1)/3\rceil$ vertices, and this is best possible.…

For graphs $F$ and $G$, let $F\to G$ signify that any red/blue edge coloring of $F$ contains a monochromatic $G$. Denote by ${\cal G}(N,p)$ the random graph space of order $N$ and edge probability $p$. Using the regularity method, one can…

We formulate a geometric version of the Erd\H{o}s-Hajnal conjecture that applies to finite projective geometries rather than graphs, in both its usual 'induced' form and the multicoloured form. The multicoloured conjecture states, roughly,…

Recently, Caro, Patk\'os, and Tuza (2022) introduced the concept of connected Tur\'an number. We study a similar parameter in Ramsey theory. Given two graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$, the size Ramsey number $\hat{r}(G_1,G_2)$ refers to the smallest…

We consider the problem of $k$-colouring a random $r$-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices and $cn$ edges, where $k$, $r$, $c$ remain constant as $n$ tends to infinity. Achlioptas and Naor showed that the chromatic number of a random graph…
