Abstract: Arithmetic Ramsey theory deals with configurations that can be found in large subsets of the integers, e.g. sets of positive upper density or sets coming from a finite partition of the integers. In the first half of the talk I will give a survey on this one hundred year old area of mathematics. In the second half, I will talk about how these configurations in the integers can be transferred to the primes, thanks to the revolutionary works of Green, Tao and Ziegler. The talk will include joint works with Julia Wolf and Anh Le.
