Graphs with Arbitrary Ramsey Number and Connectivity

Abstract

The Ramsey number $r(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number $N$ such that any red-blue colouring of the edges of $K_N$ contains a monochromatic copy of $G$. Pavez-Signé, Piga and Sanhueza-Matamala proved that for any function $n\leq f(n) \leq r(K_n)$, there is a sequence of connected graphs $(G_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ with $|V(G_n)|=n$ such that $r(G_n)=\Theta(f(n))$ and conjectured that $G_n$ can additionally have arbitrarily large connectivity. In this note we prove their conjecture.
