We give a characterizations of Ramsey ultrafilters on $\mathscr P(\omega)$ in terms of functions $f:\omega^n\to\omega$ and their ultrafilter extensions. To do this, we prove that for any partition $\mathcal P$ of $[\omega]^n$ there is a…

We study the structured rainbow Ramsey theory at uncountable cardinals. When compared to the usual rainbow Ramsey theory, the variation focuses on finding a rainbow subset that not only is of a certain cardinality but also satisfies certain…

Ramsey's theorem asserts that every $k$-coloring of $[\omega]^n$ admits an infinite monochromatic set. Whenever $n \geq 3$, there exists a computable $k$-coloring of $[\omega]^n$ whose solutions compute the halting set. On the other hand,…

The classical result in the theory of random graphs, proved by Erdos and Renyi in 1960, concerns the threshold for the appearance of the giant component in the random graph process. We consider a variant of this problem, with a Ramsey…

We study the strength of $\RRT^3_2$, Rainbow Ramsey Theorem for colorings of triples, and prove that $\RCA + \RRT^3_2$ implies neither $\WKL$ nor $\RRT^4_2$. To this end, we establish some recursion theoretic properties of cohesive sets and…

A finite set $X$ in a Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ is called Ramsey if for every $k$ there exists an integer $n$ such that whenever $\mathbb{R}^n$ is coloured with $k$ colours, there is a monochromatic copy of $X$. Graham conjectured that…

We show that the Ramsey number is linear for every uniform hypergraph with bounded-degree. This is a hypergraph extension of the famous theorem for ordinary graphs which Chv\'atal et al. showed in 1983. Our proof is simple, contains the…

The celebrated theorem of Kechris, Pestov and Todor\v{c}evi\'c connecting structural Ramsey theory with topological dynamics has as a consequence that the Fra\"{\i}ss\'e limit of a Ramsey class of non-trivial finite relational structures…

One of the consequences of the Compactness Principle in structural Ramsey theory is that the small Ramsey degrees cannot exceed the corresponding big Ramsey degrees, thereby justifying the choice of adjectives. However, it is unclear what…

The class of finite distributive lattices, as many other classes of structures, does not have the Ramsey property. It is quite common, though, that after expanding the structures with appropriately chosen linear orders the resulting class…

Motivated by a Tukey classification problem we develop here a new topological Ramsey space $\mathcal{R}_1$ that in its complexity comes immediately after the classical is a natural Ellentuck space \cite{MR0349393}. Associated with…

It has become obvious in the recent development that the structural Ramsey property is a categorical property: it depends not only on the choice of objects, but also on the choice of morphisms involved. In this paper we explicitely put the…

We introduce the notion of a {\it semi-retraction}. Given two structures $\A$ and $\B$, $\A$ is a semi-retraction of $\B$ if there exist quantifier-free type respecting maps $f: \B \raw \A$ and $g: \A \raw \B$ such that $f \circ g$ is an…

In a seminal work, Cheng and Xu proved that for any positive integer \(r\), there exists an integer \(n_0\), independent of \(r\), such that every \(r\)-coloring of the \(n\)-dimensional Euclidean space \(\mathbb{E}^n\) with \(n \ge n_0\)…

This paper introduces the concept of a productive notion of big Ramsey degree and showcases its versatility through a handful of applications. The main focus is notably providing sufficient conditions for the existence of a finite canonical…

Generalised indiscernibles highlight a strong link between model theory and structural Ramsey theory. In this paper, we use generalised indiscernibles as tools to prove results in both these areas. More precisely, we first show that a…

A relational structure $\mathrm{R}$ is {\em rainbow Ramsey} if for every finite induced substructure $\mathrm{C}$ of $\mathrm{R}$ and every colouring of the copies of $\mathrm{C}$ with countably many colours, such that each colour is used…

Erd\H{o}s and Rado [P. Erd\H{o}s, R. Rado, A combinatorial theorem, Journal of the London Mathematical Society 25 (4) (1950) 249-255] introduced the Canonical Ramsey numbers $\text{er}(t)$ as the minimum number $n$ such that every…
