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…

By recent work of \citet{DobrinenICM} and \citet{Balko7} we know that every finite $G$ in the Henson graph $\mathbb{H}_{n+1}$ (the universal ultrahomogeneous $(n+1)$-clique free graph) has exact finite big Ramsey degree $k({G,n})$. That is,…

Folkman's Theorem asserts that for each $k \in \mathbb{N}$, there exists a natural number $n = F(k)$ such that whenever the elements of $[n]$ are two-coloured, there exists a set $A \subset [n]$ of size $k$ with the property that all the…

For a graph $G$, the $k$-colour Ramsey number $R_k(G)$ is the least integer $N$ such that every $k$-colouring of the edges of the complete graph $K_N$ contains a monochromatic copy of $G$. Let $C_n$ denote the cycle on $n$ vertices. We show…

We prove a generalization of Gowers' theorem for $\mathrm{FIN}_{k}$ where, instead of the single tetris operation $T:\mathrm{FIN}_{k}\rightarrow \mathrm{FIN}_{k-1}$, one considers all maps from $\mathrm{FIN}_{k}$ to $\mathrm{FIN}_{j}$ for…

We introduce Gowers--Matet forcing with a finite sequence of pairwise non-isomorphic Ramsey ultrafilters over $\omega$, and with this forcing we settle the long-standing problem of the spectrum of numbers near-coherence classes. We prove…

We characterize the computational content and the proof-theoretic strength of a Ramsey-type theorem for bi-colorings of so-called {\em exactly large} sets. An {\it exactly large} set is a set $X\subset\Nat$ such that $\card(X)=\min(X)+1$.…

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,…

We study a generalization of a famous result of Goodman and establish that asymptotically at least a $1/256$ fraction of all triangles needs to be monochromatic in any four-coloring of the edges of a complete graph. We also show that any…

The generalised colouring numbers $\mathrm{adm}_r(G)$, $\mathrm{col}_r(G)$, and $\mathrm{wcol}_r(G)$ were introduced by Kierstead and Yang as generalisations of the usual colouring number, also known as the degeneracy of a graph, and have…

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…
