An update on multicolor Ramsey lower bounds
Abstract
Building upon previous works by Conlon-Ferber and Wigderson, Sawin showed a few years ago that upper bounds on the minimum density of independent sets in a Kt-free G can be used to provide lower bounds for multicolor Ramsey numbers. In this note, we observe how a further improved upper bound on this parameter directly follows from a recent spherical random geometric graph construction of Ma-Shen-Xie. As a consequence, we derive a small exponential improvement over the best known lower bounds for multicolor Ramsey numbers.
