Density of monochromatic infinite subgraphs II

In 1967, Gerencsér and Gyárfás [16] proved a result which is considered the starting point of graph-Ramsey theory: In every 2-coloring of $K_n$ , there is a monochromatic path on $\lceil (2n+1)/3\rceil $ vertices, and this is best possible. There have since been hundreds of papers on gr...

Description
Summary:In 1967, Gerencsér and Gyárfás [16] proved a result which is considered the starting point of graph-Ramsey theory: In every 2-coloring of $K_n$ , there is a monochromatic path on $\lceil (2n+1)/3\rceil $ vertices, and this is best possible. There have since been hundreds of papers on graph-Ramsey theory with some of the most important results being motivated by a series of conjectures of Burr and Erdős [2, 3] regarding the Ramsey numbers of trees (settled in [31]), graphs with bounded maximum degree (settled in [5]), and graphs with bounded degeneracy (settled in [23]).
