The product conjecture for finite transitive sets in Euclidean Ramsey theory
The product conjecture for finite transitive sets in Euclidean Ramsey theory
Let be a finite transitive set. A set is -Ramsey for if every -colouring of contains a subset congruent to . For a positive integer , regard as a subset of , and call a scaling of .
The product conjecture. For every positive integer , there exists a positive integer such that some scaling of is -Ramsey for .
This strengthens the usual approach to proving that sets are Ramsey, in which a finite transitive set is embedded and then a large product is coloured. The conjecture is presented as the geometric statement later reformulated in purely combinatorial terms; its resolution is not specified in the supplied text.
