On the Ramsey multiplicity of complete graphs

Abstract

We show that, for n large, there must exist at least (n^t)/(C^((1+o(1))t^2)) monochromatic K_(t)s in any two-colouring of the edges of K_n, where C ≈ 2.18 is an explicitly defined constant. The old lower bound, due to Erdős [2], and based upon the standard bounds for Ramsey's theorem, is (n^t)/(4^((1+o(1))t^2)).
