We prove that for any homogeneous structure $\mathbf{K}$ in a language with finitely many relation symbols of arity at most two satisfying SDAP$^+$ (or LSDAP$^+$), there are spaces of subcopies of $\mathbf{K}$, forming subspaces of the…

In this paper we present a simple approach to big Ramsey combinatorics of the Cantor set $2^\omega$. Using Infinite Dual Ramsey Theorem of Carlson and Simpson, we show that $2^\omega$, viewed as a topological space, has finite big Ramsey…

Application of the Ramsey Infinite Theorem to the variational principles of physics is discussed. According to the Ramsey Infinite Theorem,there exists the infinite, monochromatic chain of the pathways (clique), which are completely built…

We use the model theoretic notion of coheir to give short proofs of old and new theorems in Ramsey Theory. As an illustration we start from Ramsey's theorem itself. Then we prove Hindman's theorem and the Hales-Jewett theorem. Finally, we…

We show that the universal homogeneous partial order has finite big Ramsey degrees and discuss several corollaries. Our proof relies on parameter spaces and the Carlson-Simpson theorem rather than on (a strengthening of) the…

In this paper we provide explicit dual Ramsey statements for several classes of finite relational structures (such as finite linearly ordered graphs, finite linearly ordered metric spaces and finite posets with a linear extension) and…

We consider a Ramsey statement for pairs of maps between trees, where one is an embedding as defined by Deuber and the other is a rigid surjection as defined by Solecki. We show that there is no Ramsey Theorem for pairs of maps where the…

We provide two new proofs of the infinitude of prime numbers, using the additive Ramsey-theoretic result known as Folkman's theorem (alternatively, one can think of these proofs as using Hindman's theorem). This adds to the existing…

We survey some recent results in Ramsey theory. We indicate their connections with topological dynamics. On the foundational side, we describe an abstract approach to finite Ramsey theory. We give one new application of the abstract…

The Carlson-Simpson lemma is a combinatorial statement occurring in the proof of the Dual Ramsey theorem. Formulated in terms of variable words, it informally asserts that given any finite coloring of the strings, there is an infinite…

Ramsey Theorem [6] for pairs is intuitionistically but not classically provable: it is equivalent to a subclassical principle [2]. In this note we show that Ramsey may be restated in an intuitionistically provable form, which is informative…

For finite graphs $G$ and $H$, let $\RR(G,H)$ denote the isomorphism classes of Ramsey-minimal graphs for $(G,H)$. We prove two 1981 conjectures of Burr, Erd\H{o}s, Faudree, Rousseau, and Schelp: Ramsey-finiteness is preserved by adjoining…

We show that the infinite-dimensional versions of Gowers' $\mathrm{FIN}_k$ and $\mathrm{FIN}_{\pm k}$ theorems can be parametrized by an infinite sequence of perfect subsets of $2^\omega$. To do so, we use ultra-Ramsey theory to obtain…

Hindman's theorem says that every finite coloring of the natural numbers has a monochromatic set of finite sums. Ramsey algebras are structures that satisfy an analogue of Hindman's Theorem. This paper introduces Ramsey algebras and…

Ramsey's theorem for $n$-tuples and $k$-colors ($\mathsf{RT}^n_k$) asserts that every k-coloring of $[\mathbb{N}]^n$ admits an infinite monochromatic subset. We study the proof-theoretic strength of Ramsey's theorem for pairs and two…

Ramsey's theorem for pairs asserts that every 2-coloring of the pairs of integers has an infinite monochromatic subset. In this paper, we study a strengthening of Ramsey's theorem for pairs due to Erdos and Rado, which states that every…

Ramsey theory is a central and active branch of combinatorics. Although Ramsey numbers for graphs have been extensively investigated since Ramsey's work in the 1930s, there is still an exponential gap between the best known lower and upper…

In the parlance of relational structures, the Finite Ramsey Theorem states that the class of all finite chains has the Ramsey property. A classical result of J. Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il and V. R\"{o}dl claims that the class of all finite posets…

Analogues of Ramsey's Theorem for infinite structures such as the rationals or the Rado graph have been known for some time. In this context, one looks for optimal bounds, called degrees, for the number of colors in an isomorphic…

A Ramsey-like theorem is a statement of the form ``For every 2-coloring of $[\mathbb{N}]^2$, there exists an infinite set~$H \subseteq \mathbb{N}$ such that $[H]^2$ avoids some pattern''. We prove that none of these statements are…
