Establishes the first exponential improvement since 1947 to the lower bound on off-diagonal Ramsey numbers r(ℓ, Cℓ) for constant C > 1.
r_4(5,n) is at least 2^{2^{c n^{1/7}}}, determining the tower growth rate of r_k(k+1,n) for hypergraph Ramsey numbers.
Improves r_k(k+1,k+1) > s_3(⌊k/2⌋-2) for k≥6 and proves s_3(k) ≥ (twr_{k-2}(2))^2 for k≥5, yielding r_k(k+1,k+1) > (twr_{⌊k/2⌋-4}(2))^2 for k≥14.
Proves that graphs on N ≥ 2n vertices with δ(G) ≥ ⌊3N/4⌋ have every 2-edge-coloring containing a monochromatic copy of every n-vertex tree with max degree ≤ Δ.
f^{(4)}_{5^{-},6}(N) equals (log log N) to the Theta(1) power, with improved lower bounds r_4(6,n) >= 2^{2^{c sqrt(n)}} and r_k(k+2,n).
Zero-sum Ramsey numbers R(G, Γ) satisfy R(G, Γ) ≤ C n for bounded-degree n-vertex graphs G whenever |Γ| divides e(G).
New iterative proof of Nikiforov's theorem on H-blowups that improves the constant c_H(γ).
Multicolour Ramsey numbers for many copies of H are determined up to additive (or linear) error via (H,r)-gadgets, with random analogues generalising Rödl–Ruciński.
New lower bounds r_odd(n, K_{s,t}) > n^{1/(s/2 + 1/(2 floor(t/8)))} for odd s even t, r_u(n, C_n) > n/4 creating a polynomial gap, and odd-Ramsey number of Hamilton cycles >1 in super-Dirac graphs.
Simplified proof of exponential Ramsey lower bound improvements via Gaussian random graphs, with better quantitative constants than prior work.
The exponent in the lower bound for R(ℓ, Cℓ) increases by a positive amount for every fixed C>1, with asymptotic gain Θ(p_C^{-1/2}/log C) as C grows.
The paper establishes the improved lower bound r_4(5,n) >= 2^{2^{Omega(n^{1/5})}} for the 4-uniform 5-clique Ramsey number by reducing greedy local-maxima selection from seven layers to five in a modified construction.
