We show that for every coloring of the rationals into finitely many colors, one of the colors contains a set of the form $\{x,y,xy,x+y\}$ for some nonzero $x$ and $y$.

In this thesis, we investigate the computational content and the logical strength of Ramsey's theorem and its consequences. For this, we use the frameworks of reverse mathematics and of computable reducibility. We proceed to a systematic…

We give a negative answer to a question of Erdos and Hajnal: it is consistent that GCH holds and there is a colouring $c:[{\omega_2}]^2\to 2$ establishing $\omega_2 \not\to [(\omega_1;{\omega})]^2_2$ such that some colouring…

Hindman's Theorem says that every finite coloring of the positive natural numbers has a monochromatic set of finite sums. Ramsey algebras, recently introduced, are structures that satisfy an analogue of Hindman's Theorem. It is an open…

The Four Colour Theorem asserts that the vertices of every plane graph can be properly coloured with four colors. Fabrici and G\"oring conjectured the following stronger statement to also hold: the vertices of every plane graph can be…

A theorem of Galvin asserts that if the unordered pairs of reals are partitioned into finitely many Borel classes then there is a perfect set P such that all pairs from P lie in the same class. The generalization to n-tuples for n >= 3 is…

The Cyclic Coloring Conjecture asserts that the vertices of every plane graph with maximum face size D can be colored using at most 3D/2 colors in such a way that no face is incident with two vertices of the same color. The Cyclic Coloring…

This is a treatise on finite point configurations spanning a fixed volume to be found in a single color-class of an arbitrary finite (measurable) coloring of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, or in a single large measurable subset…

We give a short, explicit proof of Hindman's Theorem that in every finite coloring of the integers, there is an infinite set all of whose finite sums have the same color. We give several exampls of colorings of the integers which do not…

The four-color theorem states that no more than four colors are required to color all nodes in planar graphs such that no two adjacent nodes are of the same color. The theorem was first propounded by Francis Guthrie in 1852. Since then,…

We prove a generalised Ramsey--Tur\'an theorem for matchings, which (a) simultaneously generalises the Cockayne--Lorimer Theorem (Ramsey for matchings) and the Erd\H{o}s--Gallai Theorem (Tur\'an for matchings), and (b) is a generalised…

Halin [1965] proved that if a graph has $n$ many pairwise disjoint rays for each $n$ then it has infinitely many pairwise disjoint rays. We analyze the complexity of this and other similar results in terms of computable and proof theoretic…

We prove a Ramsey theorem for finite sets equipped with a partial order and a fixed number of linear orders extending the partial order. This is a common generalization of two recent Ramsey theorems due to Soki\'c. As a bonus, our proof…

We study a conjecture linking ultimate periodicity of infnite words to the existence of colorings on finite words avoiding monochromatic factorisation of suffixes, with the extra condition that the ordered concatenation of elements of this…

Given a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$ and an integer $r$, we say that a graph is $r$-Ramsey for $\mathcal{F}$ if any $r$-colouring of its edges admits a monochromatic copy of a graph from $\mathcal{F}$. The threshold for the classic Ramsey…

A matching $M$ in a graph $G$ is connected if all the edges of $M$ are in the same component of $G$. Following \L uczak,there have been many results using the existence of large connected matchings in cluster graphs with respect to regular…
