DHJ(3): 1100-1199 (Density Hales-Jewett type numbers)
This is a continuation of the 900-999 thread of the polymath1 project, which is now full. We’ve made quite a bit of progress so far on our original mission of bounding density Hales-Jewett numbers....

This is a continuation of the 1100-1199 thread of the polymath1 project, which is now full. The focus has now mostly shifted to generalisations of the previous problems being studied to larger...
View ArticlePolymath1 and three new proofs of the density Hales-Jewett theorem
This week I gave a talk at UCLA on some aspects of polymath1 project, and specifically on the three new combinatorial proofs of the density Hales-Jewett theorem that have been obtained as a...

Now that the quarter is nearing an end, I’m returning to the half of the polymath1 project hosted here, which focussed on computing density Hales-Jewett numbers and related quantities. The purpose of...
View ArticleDHJ: Still writing the second paper
This is a continuation of the previous thread here in the polymath1 project, which is now full. Ostensibly, the purpose of this thread is to continue writing up the paper containing many of the things...
View ArticleDHJ: Writing the second paper III.
This is a continuation of the preceding two threads here on the polymath1 project, which are now full. We are closing on on the computation of the sixth Moser number – the size of the largest subset...
