Triangle Ramsey numbers of complete graphs
Abstract
A graph is $H$-Ramsey if every two-coloring of its edges contains a monochromatic copy of $H$. Define the $F$-Ramsey number of $H$, denoted by $r_F(H)$, to be the minimum number of copies of $F$ in a graph which is $H$-Ramsey. This generalizes the Ramsey number and size Ramsey number of a graph. Addressing a question of Spiro, we prove that \[r_{K_3}(K_t)=\binom{r(K_t)}{3}\] for all sufficiently large $t$. We do so through a result on graph coloring: there exists an absolute constant $K$ such that every $r$-chromatic graph where every edge is contained in at least $K$ triangles must contain at least $\binom{r}{3}$ triangles in total.
