We show that, for every $r, k$, there is an $n = n(r,k)$ so that any $r$-coloring of the edges of the complete graph on $[n]$ will yield a monochromatic complete subgraph on vertices ${a + \sum_{i \in I} d_i \mid I \subseteq [k]}$ for some…

The main result of this paper is a "colored Tverberg theorem for rainbow-unavoidable complexes". This theorem may be considered as a merging of two theorems: "Tverberg theorem for collectively unavoidable complexes" and "balanced colored…

We prove a known 2-coloring of the integers $[N] := \{1,2,3,\ldots,N\}$ minimizes the number of monochromatic arithmetic 3-progressions under certain restrictions. A monochromatic arithmetic progression is a set of equally-spaced integers…

Given a probability space $(X, {\cal B}, m)$, measure preserving transformations $g_1, \dots , g_k$ of $X$, and a colour set $C$, a colouring rule is a way to colour the space with $C$ such that the colours allowed for a point $x$ are…

Given a natural $n$, we construct a two-coloring of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with the maximum metric satisfying the following. For any finite set of reals $S$ with diameter greater than $5^{n}$ such that the distance between any two consecutive…

One of the toughest problems in Ramsey theory is to determine the existence of monochromatic arithmetic progressions in groups whose elements have been colored. We study the harder problem to not only determine the existence of…

A first-order theory is equational if every definable set is a Boolean combination of instances of equations, that is, of formulae such that the family of finite intersections of instances has the descending chain condition. Equationality…

We explore a general method based on trees of elementary submodels in order to present highly simplified proofs to numerous results in infinite combinatorics. While countable elementary submodels have been employed in such settings already,…

Following recent result of L. M. T\' oth [arXiv:1906.03137] we show that every $2\Delta$-regular Borel graph $\mathcal{G}$ with a (not necessarily invariant) Borel probability measure admits approximate Schreier decoration. In fact, we show…

Amenable groups are those admitting an invariant mean -- a finitely additive probability mean that assigns equal ``weight'' to any two translates of the same set. We introduce coset correct means (CCMs), a class of finitely additive means…

Given a set equipped with a transitive action of a group, we define the notion of an almost invariant coloring of the set. We consider the mapping class group orbit of a multicurve on a compact surface, and prove that in the case of genus…

We consider triangulations of surfaces with edges painted three colors so that edges of each triangle have different colors. Such structures arise as Belyi data (or Grothendieck dessins d'enfant), on the other hand they enumerate pairs of…

We address a core partition regularity problem in Ramsey theory by proving that every finite coloring of the positive integers contains monochromatic Pythagorean pairs, i.e., $x,y\in \mathbb{N}$ such that $x^2\pm y^2=z^2$ for some $z\in…

Inspired by the Ax--Kochen isomorphism theorem, we develop a notion of categorical ultraproducts to capture the generic behavior of an infinite collection of mathematical objects. We employ this theory to give an asymptotic solution to the…

We work with simple graphs in ZF (Zermelo--Fraenkel set theory without the Axiom of Choice (AC)) and assume that the sets of colors can be either well-orderable or non-well-orderable to prove that the following statements are equivalent to…

We apply Cauchy's interlacing theorem to derive some eigenvalue bounds to the chromatic number using the normalized Laplacian matrix, including a combinatorial characterization of when equality occurs. Further, we introduce some new…

We consider a dichotomy for analytic families of trees stating that either there is a colouring of the nodes for which all but finitely many levels of every tree are nonhomogeneous, or else the family contains an uncountable antichain. This…
