Abstract

A relational structure R\mathrm{R} is {\em rainbow Ramsey} if for every finite induced substructure C\mathrm{C} of R\mathrm{R} and every colouring of the copies of C\mathrm{C} with countably many colours, such that each colour is used at most kk times for a fixed kk, there exists a copy R\mathrm{R}^\ast of R\mathrm{R} so that the copies of C\mathrm{C} in R\mathrm{R^\ast} use each colour at most once. We show that certain ultrahomogenous binary relational structures, for example the Rado graph, are rainbow Ramsey. Via compactness this then implies that for all finite graphs B\mathrm{B} and C\mathrm{C} and kωk \in \omega, there exists a graph A\mathrm{A} so that for every colouring of the copies of C\mathrm{C} in A\mathrm{A} such that each colour is used at most kk times, there exists a copy B\mathrm{B}^\ast of B\mathrm{B} in A\mathrm{A} so that the copies of C\mathrm{C} in B\mathrm{B^\ast} use each colour at most once.
