A note on propositional proof complexity of some Ramsey-type statements
Any valid Ramsey statement n −→ (k)2 2 can be encoded into a DNF formula RAM(n, k) of size O(nk) and with terms of size k 2 . Let rk be the minimal n for which the statement h...

Ramsey games with giants
: The classical result in the theory of random graphs, proved by Erd˝os and Rényi in 1960, concerns the threshold for the appearance of the giant component in the random graph pr...

Factorization forests for infinite words and applications to countable scattered linear orderings
The theorem of factorization forests of Imre Simon shows the existence of nested factorizations -- `a la Ramsey -- for finite words. This theorem has important applications in sem...

Combinatorial principles weaker than Ramsey's Theorem for pairs
We investigate the complexity of various combinatorial theorems about linear and partial orders, from the points of view of computability theory and reverse mathematics. We focus ...

Dependent random choice
: We describe a simple and yet surprisingly powerful probabilistic technique which shows how to find in a dense graph a large subset of vertices in which all (or almost all) small...
