We define a collection of topological Ramsey spaces consisting of equivalence relations on $\omega$ with the property that the minimal representatives of the equivalence classes alternate according to a fixed partition of $\omega$. To prove…

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…

We give an abstract approach to finite Ramsey theory and prove a general Ramsey-type theorem. We deduce from it a self-dual Ramsey theorem, which is a new result naturally generalizing both the classical Ramsey theorem and the dual Ramsey…

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…

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 explore the relation between various versions of Ramsey theorem and bounding schemes in model ${N}$ of a fragment of arithmetic $F$. Our goal is to recast, in a different framework, and extend some results of Hirst \cite{Hirst-1987}, see…

We prove some results on the border of Ramsey theory (finite partition calculus) and model theory. Also a beginning of classification theory of finite models in undertaken.

We study the reverse mathematics of pigeonhole principles for finite powers of the ordinal $\omega$. Four natural formulations are presented and their relative strengths are compared. In the analysis of the pigeonhole principle for…

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…

In a recent paper \cite{So} S. Solecki proves a finite self dual Ramsey theorem that in a natural way gives simultaneously the classical finite Ramsey theorem \cite{Ra} and the Graham-Rothschild theorem \cite{Gr-Ro}. In this paper we prove…

We investigate infinite sets that witness the failure of certain Ramsey-theoretic statements, such as Ramsey's or (appropriately phrased) Hindman's theorem; such sets may exist if one does not assume the Axiom of Choice. We obtain very…

The infinite pigeonhole principle for $k$ colors ($\mathsf{RT}_k$) states, for every $k$-partition $A_0 \sqcup \dots \sqcup A_{k-1} = \mathbb{N}$, the existence of an infinite subset~$H \subseteq A_i$ for some~$i < k$. This seemingly…

We prove a generalization of the infinite quantum Ramsey theorem of Kennedy et al. (arXiv:1711.09526), showing that it follows from an archetypical "selective" pattern satisfied by certain families of projections in an infinite-dimensional…

In 2007, Terence Tao wrote on his blog an essay about soft analysis, hard analysis and the finitization of soft analysis statements into hard analysis statements. One of his main examples was a quasi-finitization of the infinite pigeonhole…

We prove a Ramsey theorem for finite sets equipped with a partial order and a fixed number of linear orders extending the partial order. This is a common generalization of two recent Ramsey theorems due to Soki\'c. As a bonus, our proof…

We give an almost entirely model-theoretic account of both Ramsey classes of finite structures and of generalized indiscernibles as studied in special cases in (for example) [7], [9]. We understand "theories of indiscernibles" to be special…

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…

Recently, Solecki introduced the notion of Ramsey monoid to produce a common generalization to theorems such as Hindman's theorem, Carlson's theorem, and Gowers' FIN$_k$ theorem. He proved that an entire class of finite monoids is Ramsey.…
