In a seminal work, Cheng and Xu showed that if $S$ is a square or a triangle with a certain property, then for every positive integer $r$ there exists $n_0(S)$ independent of $r$ such that every $r$-coloring of $\mathbb{E}^n$ with $n\ge…

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…

The classical hypergraph Ramsey number $r_k(s,n)$ is the minimum $N$ such that for every red-blue coloring of the $k$-tuples of $\{1,\ldots, N\}$, there are $s$ integers such that every $k$-tuple among them is red, or $n$ integers such that…

Given a graph $H$, let $\chi_H(\mathbb{R}^n)$ be the smallest positive integer $r$ such that there exists an $r$-coloring of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with no monochromatic unit-copy of $H$, that is a set of $|V(H)|$ vertices of the same color such…

In a seminal work, Cheng and Xu proved that for any positive integer \(r\), there exists an integer \(n_0\), independent of \(r\), such that every \(r\)-coloring of the \(n\)-dimensional Euclidean space \(\mathbb{E}^n\) with \(n \ge n_0\)…

An old question in Ramsey theory asks whether any finite coloring of the natural numbers admits a monochromatic pair $\{x+y,xy\}$. We answer this question affirmatively in a strong sense by exhibiting a large new class of non-linear…

In the paper we prove, in particular, that for any measurable coloring of the euclidian plane into two colours there is a monochromatic triangle with some restrictions on the sides. Also we consider similar problems in finite fields…

We say that a subset $M$ of $\mathbb R^n$ is exponentially Ramsey if there are $\epsilon>0$ and $n_0$ such that $\chi(\mathbb R^n,M)\ge(1+\epsilon)^n$ for any $n>n_0$, where $\chi(\mathbb R^n,M)$ stands for the minimum number of colors in a…

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…

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 conduct a computability-theoretic study of Ramsey-like theorems of the form "Every coloring of the edges of an infinite clique admits an infinite sub-clique avoiding some pattern", with a particular focus on transitive patterns. As it…

We both survey and extend a new technique from Lu Liu to prove separation theorems between products of Ramsey-type theorems over computable reducibility. We use this technique to show that Ramsey's theorem for $n$-tuples and three colors is…

A set $X$ is called Euclidean Ramsey if, for any $k$ and sufficiently large $n$, every $k$-colouring of $\mathbb{R}^n$ contains a monochromatic congruent copy of $X$. This notion was introduced by Erd\H{o}s, Graham, Montgomery, Rothschild,…

We prove that in every direction in the Euclidean plane, there exists a line containing no double exponential time random (ee-random) points. This means each point on these lines has an algorithmically predictable location, to the extent…
