Turán Colourings in Off-Diagonal Ramsey Multiplicity

Abstract

The Ramsey multiplicity constant of a graph $H$ is the limit as $n$ tends to infinity of the minimum density of monochromatic labeled copies of $H$ in a $2$-edge colouring of $K_n$. Fox and Wigderson recently identified a large family of graphs whose Ramsey multiplicity constants are attained by sequences of "Turán colourings"; i.e. colourings in which one of the colour classes forms the edge set of a balanced complete multipartite graph. Each graph in their family comes from taking a connected non-3-colourable graph with a critical edge and adding many pendant edges. We extend their result to an off-diagonal variant of the Ramsey multiplicity constant which involves minimizing a weighted sum of red copies of one graph and blue copies of another.
