For graphs G and H, say\r\nG r\r\n−→ H if every r-edge-coloring of G contains a monochromatic\r\ncopy of H. Let H[t] denote the t-blowup of H. Then the blowup\r\nRamsey number of G, H, r, and t is defined as the minimum n\r\nsuch that G[n] r\r\n−→ H[t]. Souza proved upper and lower bounds on\r\nn that are exponential in t, and conjectured that the exponential\r\nconstant does not depend on G. We prove that the dependence on\r\nG in the exponential constant is indeed unnecessary, but conjecture\r\nthat some dependence on G is unavoidable.\r\nAn important step in both Souza’s proof and ours is a theorem of\r\nNikiforov, which says that if a graph contains a constant fraction\r\nof the possible copies of H, then it contains a blowup of H of\r\nlogarithmic size. We also provide a new proof of this theorem with\r\na better quantitative dependence."}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"oa":1,"quality_controlled":"1","citation":{"apa":"Fox, J., Luo, S., & Wigderson, Y.
