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…

We study density and partition properties of polynomial equations in prime variables. We consider equations of the form $a_1h(x_1) + \cdots + a_sh(x_s)=b$, where the $a_i$ and $b$ are fixed coefficients, and $h$ is an arbitrary integer…

A coloring of vertices of a graph is called perfect if, for every vertex, the collection of colors of its neighbors depends only on its own color. The correspondent color partition of vertices is called equitable. We note that a number of…

In contrast to the abundance of "direct" Ramsey results for classes of finite structures (such as finite ordered graphs, finite ordered metric spaces and finite posets with a linear extension), in only a handful of cases we have a…

A Ramsey-like theorem is a statement of the form ``For every 2-coloring of $[\mathbb{N}]^2$, there exists an infinite set~$H \subseteq \mathbb{N}$ such that $[H]^2$ avoids some pattern''. We prove that none of these statements are…

In this paper we prove a new result about partitioning coloured complete graphs and use it to determine certain Ramsey numbers exactly. The partitioning theorem we prove is that for k at least 1, in every edge colouring of a complete graph…

The purpose is to study the strength of Ramsey's Theorem for pairs restricted to recursive assignments of $k$-many colors, with respect to Intuitionistic Heyting Arithmetic. We prove that for every natural number $k \geq 2$, Ramsey's…

Answering a conjecture of A. Sisto, J. Sahasrabudhe proved the exponential version of the Schur theorem: for every finite coloring of the naturals, there exists a monochromatic copy of $\{x,y,x^y:x\neq y\},$ which initiates the study of…

We introduce the definability strength of combinatorial principles. In terms of definability strength, a combinatorial principle is strong if solving a corresponding combinatorial problem could help in simplifying the definition of a…

In \cite{J}, Theorem 4.2, Jockusch proves that for any computable k-coloring of pairs of integers, there is an infinite $\Pi^0_2$ homogeneous set. The proof uses a countable collection of $\Pi^0_2$ sets as potential infinite homogeneous…

The purpose of this survey is to provide a gentle introduction to several recent breakthroughs in graph Ramsey theory. In particular, we will outline the proofs (due to various groups of authors) of exponential improvements to the diagonal,…

The stable Ramsey's theorem for pairs has been the subject of numerous investigations in mathematical logic. We introduce a weaker form of it by restricting from the class of all stable colorings to subclasses of it that are non-null in a…

Given two combinatorial notions $\mathsf{P}_0$ and $\mathsf{P}_1$, can we encode $\mathsf{P}_0$ via $\mathsf{P}_1$. In this talk we address the question where $\mathsf{P}_0$ is 3-coloring of integers and $\mathsf{P}_1$ is product of…

The Erd\H{o}s-Rado canonization theorem generalizes Ramsey's theorem to edge-colorings with an unbounded number of colors, in the sense that for $n = ER(m)$ sufficiently large, any edge-coloring of $E(K_n) \to \mathbb{N}$ will yield some…
