Classical Ramsey theory has successfully extended to relational structures, yielding a wealth of results that have profoundly influenced other areas of mathematics. Interestingly, the same development has not occurred in the case of dual…
Close connections between various notions of entropy and the apparatus of category theory have been observed already in the 1980s and more vigorously developed in the past ten years. The starting point of the paper is the recent categorical…
Showing that the Ramsey property holds for a class of finite structures can be an extremely challenging task and a slew of sophisticated methods have been proposed in literature. In this paper we propose a new strategy to show that a class…
We survey recent developments concerning two properties of classes of finite structures: the Ramsey property and the extension property for partial automorphisms (EPPA).
In this paper we provide purely categorical proofs of two important results of structural Ramsey theory: the result of M.\ Soki\'c that the free product of Ramsey classes is a Ramsey class and the result of M.\ Bodirsky, M.\Pinsker and T.\…
Ramsey theory looks for regularities in large objects. Model theory studies algebraic structures as models of theories. The structural Ramsey theory combines these two fields and is concerned with Ramsey-type questions about certain…
Ramsey algebras is an attempt to investigate Ramsey spaces generated by algebras in a purely combinatorial fashion. Previous studies have focused on the basic properties of Ramsey algebras and the study of a few specific examples. In this…
This article is concerned with classes of relational structures that are closed under taking substructures and isomorphism, that have the joint embedding property, and that furthermore have the Ramsey property, a strong combinatorial…
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 present a new, category theoretic point of view on finite Ramsey theory. Our aims are as follows: -- to define the category theoretic notions needed for the development of finite Ramsey Theory, -- to state, in terms of these notions, the…
One way of studying a relational structure is to investigate functions which are related to that structure and which leave certain aspects of the structure invariant. Examples are the automorphism group, the self-embedding monoid, the…
In 2012 M. Soki\'c proved that the class of all finite permutations has the Ramsey property. Using different strategies the same result was then reproved in 2013 by J. B\"ottcher and J. Foniok, in 2014 by M. Bodirsky and in 2015 yet another…
We investigate the notion of a semi-retraction between two first order structures (in typically different signatures) that was introduced by the second author as a link between the Ramsey property and generalized indiscernible sequences. We…
We state the Ramsey property of classes of ordered structures with closures and given local properties. This generalises many old and new results: the Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il-R\"{o}dl Theorem, the author's Ramsey lift of bowtie-free graphs as well…
We show that every free amalgamation class of finite structures with relations and (symmetric) partial functions is a Ramsey class when enriched by a free linear ordering of vertices. This is a common strengthening of the…
We develop a representation theory of categories as a means to explore characteristic structures in algebra. Characteristic structures play a critical role in isomorphism testing of groups and algebras, and their construction and…
We consider finitary approximations of the (embedding) Ramsey property. Using a class of homogeneous reducts of random ordered hypergraphs, we prove that these properties form a strict hierarchy. We also show that every class of finite…
It was shown in \cite{sc12} that for a certain class of structures $\I$, $\I$-indexed indiscernible sets have the modeling property just in case the age of $\I$ is a Ramsey class. We expand this known class of structures from ordered…
In the course of classifying the homogeneous permutations, Cameron introduced the viewpoint of permutations as structures in a language of two linear orders, and this structural viewpoint is taken up here. The majority of this thesis is…
We construct of the main object of the Partite Lemma as the colimit over a certain diagram. This gives a purely category theoretic take on the Partite Lemma and establishes the canonicity of the object. Additionally, the categorical point…
