Geometric Ramsey theory
Seminar in Mathematics
Order exists and patterns emerge in seemingly chaotic structures. This phenomenon is the focus of Ramsey theory. This field is named after the mathematician and philosopher Frank P. Ramsey, who proved in 1930 that if n is a positive integer, then every sufficiently large graph contains n vertices that induce either a complete or an empty sugraph. I will talk about how this result applies and how it can be strengthened in a geometric setting, where we consider intersection patterns of geometric shapes.
