Many natural notions of additive and multiplicative largeness arise from results in Ramsey theory. In this paper, we explain the relationships between these notions for subsets of $\mathbb{N}$ and in more general ring-theoretic structures.…

Ramsey theory is an active research area in combinatorics whose central theme is the emergence of order in large disordered structures, with Ramsey numbers marking the threshold at which this order first appears. For generalized Ramsey…

A fan $F_n$ is a graph consisting of $n$ triangles, all having precisely one common vertex. Currently, the best known bounds for the Ramsey number $R(F_n)$ are $9n/2-5 \leq R(F_n) \leq 11n/2+6$, obtained by Chen, Yu and Zhao. We improve the…

For every $k\ge 2$ and $\Delta$, we prove that there exists a constant $C_{\Delta,k}$ such that the following holds. For every graph $H$ with $\chi(H)=k$ and every tree with at least $C_{\Delta,k}|H|$ vertices and maximum degree at most…

Bipartite Ramsey numbers is the smallest size of a complete bipartite graph $K_{N,N}$ such that every edge-coloring with a given number of colors inevitably yields a monochromatic copy of a prescribed bipartite graph. While exact values…

In this paper, we contribute to the study of topological partition relations for pairs of countable ordinals and prove that, for all integers $n \geq 3$, \begin{align*} R^{cl}(\omega+n,3) &\geq \omega^2 \cdot n + \omega \cdot (R(n,3)-n)+n\\…

We study a generalisation of the bipartite Ramsey numbers to blowups of graphs. For a graph $G$, denote the $t$-blowup of $G$ by $G[t]$. We say that $G$ is $r$-Ramsey for $H$, and write $G \stackrel{r}{\rightarrow} H$, if every…

The parsimony score of a character on a tree equals the number of state changes required to fit that character onto the tree. We show that for unordered, reversible characters this score equals the number of tree rearrangements required to…

A finite Euclidean set is diameter-Ramsey if, for every number of colors, some finite same-diameter witness has the property that every coloring of the witness contains a monochromatic congruent copy of the set. Frankl, Pach, Reiher and…

We say that a graph with $n$ vertices is $c$-Ramsey if it does not contain either a clique or an independent set of size $c \log n$. We define a CNF formula which expresses this property for a graph $G$. We show a superpolynomial lower…

Suppose that $k$ is a non-negative integer and a bipartite multigraph $G$ is the union of $$N=\left\lfloor \frac{k+2}{k+1}n\right\rfloor -(k+1)$$ matchings $M_1,\dots,M_N$, each of size $n$. We show that $G$ has a rainbow matching of size…

We determine the Ramsey number of a connected clique matching. That is, we show that if $G$ is a $2$-edge-coloured complete graph on $(r^2 - r - 1)n - r + 1$ vertices, then there is a monochromatic connected subgraph containing $n$ disjoint…

The inequality \[ R(k_1,\ldots,k_r)\le 2-r+\sum_{i=1}^r R(k_1,\ldots,k_{i-1},k_i-1,k_{i+1},\ldots,k_r) \] is well known, and it is strict whenever the right-hand side and at least one of the terms in the sum are even. Except for two known…

A graph $G$ is Ramsey for a graph $H$ if every 2-colouring of the edges of $G$ contains a monochromatic copy of $H$. We consider the following question: if $H$ has bounded treewidth, is there a `sparse' graph $G$ that is Ramsey for $H$? Two…

For bipartite graphs $G$ and $H$ and a positive integer $m$, the $m$-bipartite Ramsey number $BR_m(G, H)$ of $G$ and $H$ is the smallest integer $n$, such that every red-blue coloring of $K_{m,n}$ results in a red $G$ or a blue $H$.…

For given graphs $G_{1}, G_{2}, ... , G_{k}, k \geq 2$, the multicolor Ramsey number $R(G_{1}, G_{2}, ... , G_{k})$ is the smallest integer $n$ such that if we arbitrarily color the edges of the complete graph of order $n$ with $k$ colors,…

An edge-colored graph is called \textit{rainbow graph} if all the colors on its edges are distinct. For a given positive integer $n$ and a family of graphs $\mathcal{G}$, the anti-Ramsey number $ar(n, \mathcal{G})$ is the smallest number of…

In this paper, we prove that for every $k$ and every graph $H$ with $m$ edges and no isolated vertices, the Ramsey number $R(C_k,H)$ is at most $2m+\lfloor \frac{k-1}{2} \rfloor$, provided $m$ is sufficiently large with respect to $k$. This…

For a partially ordered set $(A, \le)$, let $G_A$ be the simple, undirected graph with vertex set $A$ such that two vertices $a \neq b\in A$ are adjacent if either $a \le b$ or $b \le a$. We call $G_A$ the \emph{partial order graph} or…

The size-Ramsey number $\hat{R}(\mathcal{F},H)$ of a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$ and a graph $H$ is the smallest integer $m$ such that there exists a graph $G$ on $m$ edges with the property that any colouring of the edges of $G$ with…
