In this paper we investigate algebraic properties of big Ramsey degrees in categories satisfying some mild conditions. As the first nontrivial consequence of the generalization we advocate in this paper we prove that small Ramsey degrees…

Ramsey's Theorem states that a graph $G$ has bounded order if and only if $G$ contains no complete graph $K_n$ or empty graph $E_n$ as its induced subgraph. The Gy\'arf\'as-Sumner conjecture says that a graph $G$ has bounded chromatic…

We prove that for all epsilon>0 there are c>0 and n_0 such that for all n>n_0 the following holds. For any two-colouring of the edges of $K_{n,n,n}$ one colour contains copies of all trees T of order t<(3-epsilon)n/2 and with maximum degree…

The Ramsey number $R(G_1,\dots,G_k)$ is the smallest $n$ such that every $k$-coloring of the edges of $K_n$ contains a monochromatic copy of $G_i$ in color $i$. Ramsey numbers are challenging to compute, and few are known exactly. We use…

A finite set $X$ in a Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ is called Ramsey if for every $k$ there exists an integer $n$ such that whenever $\mathbb{R}^n$ is coloured with $k$ colours, there is a monochromatic copy of $X$. Graham conjectured that…

We show that RT(2,4) cannot be proved with one typical application of RT(2,2) in an intuitionistic extension of RCA0 to higher types, but that this does not remain true when the law of the excluded middle is added. The argument uses…

We show that the Ramsey number is linear for every uniform hypergraph with bounded-degree. This is a hypergraph extension of the famous theorem for ordinary graphs which Chv\'atal et al. showed in 1983. Our proof is simple, contains the…

In this paper we introduce a general framework for proving lower bounds for various Ramsey type problems within random settings. The main idea is to view the problem from an algorithmic perspective: we aim at providing an algorithm that…

We study restricted homomorphism dualities in the context of classes with bounded expansion. This presents a generalization of restricted dualities obtained earlier for bounded degree graphs and also for proper minor closed classes. This is…

We study a restricted form of list colouring, for which every pair of lists that correspond to adjacent vertices may not share more than one colour. The optimal list size such that a proper list colouring is always possible given this…

The $r$-colour Ramsey number $R_r(k)$ is the minimum $n \in \mathbb{N}$ such that every $r$-colouring of the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ on $n$ vertices contains a monochromatic copy of $K_k$. We prove, for each fixed $r \geqslant 2$,…

In this article, we prove that Ramsey's theorem for pairs and two colors is a $\forall \Pi^0_4$ conservative extension of $\mathsf{RCA}_0 + \mathsf{B}\Sigma^0_2$, where a $\forall \Pi^0_4$ formula consists of a universal quantifier over…

The celebrated canonical Ramsey theorem of Erd\H{o}s and Rado implies that for a given $k$-uniform hypergraph (or $k$-graph) $H$, if $n$ is sufficiently large then any colouring of the edges of the complete $k$-graph $K^{(k)}_n$ gives rise…

A recent question in generalized Ramsey theory is that for fixed positive integers $s\leq t$, at least how many vertices can be covered by the vertices of no more than $s$ monochromatic members of the family $\cal F$ in every edge coloring…
