Abstract
Given , is called a \emph{cyclic basis} if , \emph{symmetric} if implies , and \emph{sum-free} if . We ask, for which , can the set of non-identity elements of be partitioned into symmetric sum-free cyclic bases? If, in addition, we require that distinct cyclic bases interact in a certain way, we get a proper relation algebra called a Ramsey algebra. Ramsey algebras (which have also been called Monk algebras) have been constructed previously for . In this manuscript, we provide constructions of Ramsey algebras for every positive integer with , with the exception of and .
