Independent arithmetic progressions

We show that there is a positive constant $c$ such that any graph on vertex set $[n]$ with at most $c n^2/k^2 \log k$ edges contains an independent set of order $k$ whose vertices form an arithmetic progression. We also present applications of this result to several questions in Ramsey theory.Comment: 4 page

Independent arithmetic progressions

We show that there is a positive constant c such that any graph on vertex set [n] with at most cn^(2)/k^(2) log k edges contains an independent set of order k whose vertices form an arithmetic progression. We also present applications of this result to several questions in Ramsey theory

Short proofs of some extremal results III

We prove a selection of results from different areas of extremal combinatorics, including complete or partial solutions to a number of open problems. These results, coming mainly from extremal graph theory and Ramsey theory, have been collected together because in each case the relevant proofs are reasonably short
