Ramsey Theory and Pseudorandom Graphs

Abstract:

The use of randomness in Ramsey Theory has been a key tool in non-constructive lower bounds for Ramsey Numbers.

In this talk, I will describe a new direction in Ramsey Theory, which employs pseudorandom graphs instead of random graphs, and leads to breakthroughs on long-standing open problems in the area.
