Hindman-like theorems with uncountably many colours and finite monochromatic sets
Abstract
A particular case of the Hindman--Galvin--Glazer theorem states that, for every partition of an infinite abelian group into two cells, there will be an infinite such that the set of its finite sums is monochromatic. It is known that the same statement is false, in a very strong sense, if one attempts to obtain an uncountable (rather than just infinite) . On the other hand, a recent result of Komj\'ath states that, for partitions into uncountably many cells, it is possible to obtain monochromatic sets of the form , for of some prescribed finite size, when working with sufficiently large Boolean groups. In this paper, we provide a generalization of Komj\'ath's result, and we show that, in a sense, this generalization is the strongest possible.
