Abstract

We will prove that $R_k(k+1,k+1)\geq 4 tw_{\lfloor k/4\rfloor -3}(2)$, where $tw$ is the tower function defined by ${tw}_1(x)=x$ and ${tw}_{i+1}(x)=2^{{tw}_i(x)}$. We also give proofs of $R_k(k+1,k+2)\geq 4 tw_{k-7}(2)$, $R_k(k+1,2k+1)\geq 4 tw_{k-3}(2)$, and $R_k(k+2,k+2)\geq 4 tw_{k-4}(2)$.
