Exponential patterns in arithmetic Ramsey theory

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We show that for every finite colouring of the natural numbers there exists a,b>1 such that the triple a,b,ab is monochromatic. We go on to show the partition regularity of a much richer class of patterns involving exponentiation. For example, as a corollary to our main theorem, we show that for every ninmathbbN and for every finite colouring of the natural numbers, we may find a monochromatic set including the integers x1,ldots,xn>1; all products of distinct xi; and all "exponential compositions" of distinct xi which respect the order x1,ldots,xn. In particular, for every finite colouring of the natural numbers one can find a monochromatic quadruple of the form a,b,ab,ab, where a,b>1.
