报告摘要：

The Ramsey number R(F,H) is the minimum number N such that any N-vertex graph either contains a copy of F or its complement contains H. Burr in 1981 proved a pleasingly general result that for any graph H, provided n is sufficiently large, a natural lower bound construction gives the correct Ramsey number involving cycles: R(Cn,H)=(n−1)(χ(H)−1)+σ(H), where σ(H) is the minimum possible size of a colour class in a χ(H)-colouring of H. Allen, Brightwell and Skokan conjectured that the same should be true already when n≥|H|χ(H).

We improve this 40-year-old result of Burr by giving quantitative bounds of the form n≥C|H|log4χ(H), which is optimal up to the logarithmic factor. In particular, this proves a strengthening of the Allen-Brightwell-Skokan conjecture for all graphs H with large chromatic number.

This is joint work with John Haslegrave, Joseph Hyde, Jaehoon Kim.
