In this paper, we study a Ramsey-type problem for equations of the form $ax+by=p(z)$. We show that if certain technical assumptions hold, then any 2-colouring of the positive integers admits infinitely many monochromatic solutions to the…

In this paper we prove that if $S$ is any finite configuration of points in $\mathbb{Z}^2$, then any finite coloring of $\mathbb{E}^2$ must contain uncountably many monochromatic subsets homothetic to $S$. We extend a result of Brown,…

We investigate the occurrence of additive and multiplicative structures in random subsets of the natural numbers. Specifically, for a Bernoulli random subset of $\mathbb{N}$ where each integer is included independently with probability…

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…

Inspired by Owings's problem, we investigate whether, for a given an Abelian group $G$ and cardinal numbers $\kappa,\theta$, every colouring $c:G\longrightarrow\theta$ yields a subset $X\subseteq G$ with $|X|=\kappa$ such that $X+X$ is…

We consider colored variants of a class of geometric-combinatorial questions on $k$-gons and empty $k$-gons that have been started around 1935 by Erd\H{o}s and Szekeres. In our setting we have $n$ points in general position in the plane,…

Recall that van der Waerden's theorem states that any finite coloring of the naturals has arbitrarily long monochromatic arithmetic sequences. We explore questions about the set of differences of those sequences.

A particular case of the Hindman--Galvin--Glazer theorem states that, for every partition of an infinite abelian group $G$ into two cells, there will be an infinite $X\subseteq G$ such that the set of its finite sums…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane, not all on a line, each colored \emph{red} or \emph{blue}. The classical Motzkin--Rabin theorem guarantees the existence of a \emph{monochromatic} line. Motivated by the seminal work of Green and…

We study the Ramsey properties of equations $a_1P(x_1) + \cdots + a_sP(x_s) = b$, where $a_1,\ldots,a_s,b$ are integers, and $P$ is an integer polynomial of degree $d$. Provided there are at least $(1+o(1))d^2$ variables, we show that…

For any subset $A \subseteq \mathbb{N}$, we define its upper density to be $\limsup_{ n \rightarrow \infty } |A \cap \{ 1, \dotsc, n \}| / n$. We prove that every $2$-edge-colouring of the complete graph on $\mathbb{N}$ contains a…

Motivated by the observation that the counting function of a certain base-3 colored partition contains the even perfect numbers as a subsequence, we begin by defining a sequence of polynomials in four variables and discuss their properties…

Motivated by questions asked by Erdos, we prove that any set $A\subset{\mathbb N}$ with positive upper density contains, for any $k\in{\mathbb N}$, a sumset $B_1+\cdots+B_k$, where $B_1,\dots,B_k\subset{\mathbb N}$ are infinite. Our proof…
