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 multi-component electron model on a lattice is constructed whose ground state exhibits a spontaneous ordering which follows the rule of map-coloring used in the solution of the four color problem. The number of components is determined by…

We prove the existence of a finitely dependent proper colouring of the integer lattice Z^d that is fully isometry-invariant in law, for all dimensions d. Previously this was known only for d=1, while only translation-invariant examples were…

Defective coloring is a variant of traditional vertex-coloring, according to which adjacent vertices are allowed to have the same color, as long as the monochromatic components induced by the corresponding edges have a certain structure.…

We introduce a variant of the vertex-distinguishing edge coloring problem, where each edge is assigned a subset of colors. The label of a vertex is the union of the sets of colors on edges incident to it. In this paper we investigate the…
