Ramsey theory without pigeonhole principle and the adversarial Ramsey principle

Logic 2020-01-22 v3 Combinatorics

Abstract

We develop a general framework for infinite-dimensional Ramsey theory with and without pigeonhole principle, inspired by Gowers' Ramsey-type theorem for block sequences in Banach spaces and by its exact version proved by Rosendal. In this framework, we prove the adversarial Ramsey principle for Borel sets, a result conjectured by Rosendal that generalizes at the same time his version of Gowers' theorem and Borel determinacy of games on integers.
