Ramsey's theorem states that for any coloring of the n-element subsets of N with finitely many colors, there is an infinite set H such that all n-element subsets of H have the same color. The strength of consequences of Ramsey's theorem has…

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…

Gowers' FIN$_k$ theorem, also called Gowers' pigeonhole principle or Gowers' theorem, is a Ramsey-type theorem. It first occurred in the study of Banach space theory and is a natural generalization of Hindman's theorem. In this short note,…

In contrast to the abundance of "direct" Ramsey results for classes of finite structures (such as finite ordered graphs, finite ordered metric spaces and finite posets with a linear extension), in only a handful of cases we have a…

We show that any finite affinely independent set can be isometrically embedded into a regular polygonal torus, that is, a finite product of regular polygons. As a consequence, with a straightforward application of K\v{r}\'{i}\v{z}'s…

Ramsey's theorem states that each coloring has an infinite homogeneous set, but these sets can be arbitrarily spread out. Paul Erdos and Fred Galvin proved that for each coloring f, there is an infinite set that is "packed together" which…

A system of uniform families on an infinite subset $M$ of $\nn$ is a collection $(\cca_{\xi})_{\xi<\omega_1}$ of families of finite subsets of $\nn$ (where, $\cca_k$ consists of all $k$--element subset of $M$, for $k\in \nn$) with the…

I prove forcing preservation theorems for products of definable partial orders preserving the cofinality of the meager or null ideal. Rectangular Ramsey theorems for related ideals follow from the proofs.

I will give a presentation of an abstract approach to finite Ramsey theory found in an earlier paper of mine. I will prove from it a common generalization of Deuber's Ramsey theorem for regular trees and a recent Ramsey theorem of Jasinski…

Ramsey theory for words over a finite alphabet was unified in the work of Carlson and Furstenberg-Katznelson. Carlson, in the same work, outlined a method to extend the theory for words over an infinite alphabet, but subject to a fixed…

Hirst investigated a slight variant of Hindman's Finite Sums Theorem -- called Hilbert's Theorem -- and proved it equivalent over $\RCA_0$ to the Infinite Pigeonhole Principle for all colors. This gave the first example of a natural…

We prove that for any choice of parameters $k,t,\lambda$ the class of all finite ordered designs with parameters $k,t,\lambda$ is a Ramsey class.

In this paper we introduce a new topological Ramsey space whose elements are infinite ordered polyhedra. Then, we show as an application that the set of finite polyhedra satisfies two types of Ramsey property: one, when viewed as a category…

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…

We prove a sharp structural result concerning finite colorings of pairs in well-founded trees.

We build a collection of topological Ramsey spaces of trees giving rise to universal inverse limit structures,extending Zheng's work for the profinite graph to the setting of Fra\"{\i}ss\'{e} classes of finite ordered binary relational…

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…

We determine, up to the equivalence of first-order interdefinability, all structures which are first-order definable in the random partial order. It turns out that these structures fall into precisely five equivalence classes. We achieve…

Every function over the natural numbers has an infinite subdomain on which the function is non-decreasing. Motivated by a question of Dzhafarov and Schweber, we study the reverse mathematics of variants of this statement. It turns out that…

We prove a general Ramsey theorem for trees with a successor operation. This theorem is a common generalization of the Carlson-Simpson Theorem and the Milliken Tree Theorem for regularly branching trees. Our theorem has a number of…
