Combining two classical notions in extremal combinatorics, the study of Ramsey-Tur\'an theory seeks to determine, for integers $m\le n$ and $p \leq q$, the number $\mathsf{RT}_p(n,K_q,m)$, which is the maximum size of an $n$-vertex…

We study in this paper some connections between the Fraisse theory of amalgamation classes and ultrahomogeneous structures, Ramsey theory, and topological dynamics of automorphism groups of countable structures.

We apply some basic notions from combinatorial topology to establish various algebraic properties of edge ideals of graphs and more general Stanley-Reisner rings. In this way we provide new short proofs of some theorems from the literature…

Hindman's celebrated Finite Sums Theorem, and its high-dimensional version due to Milliken and Taylor, are extended from covers of countable sets to covers of arbitrary topological spaces with Menger's classic covering property. The methods…

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…

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…

Persistent homology, a technique from computational topology, has recently shown strong empirical performance in the context of graph classification. Being able to capture long range graph properties via higher-order topological features,…

The present work aims to exploit the interplay between the algebraic properties of rings and the graph-theoretic structures of their associated graphs. We introduce commutatively closed graphs and investigate properties of commutatively…

In this paper we study a very general finite Ramsey theorem, where both the sets being colored and the homogeneous set must satisfy some largeness notion. For the homogeneous set this has already been done using the notion of…

We introduce the Insertion Chain Complex, a higher-dimensional extension of insertion graphs, as a new framework for analyzing finite sets of words. We study its topological and combinatorial properties, in particular its homology groups,…

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…

At the beginning of 1950's Erd\H os and Rado suggested the investigation of the Ramsey-type results where the number of colors is not finite. This marked the birth of the so-called canonizing Ramsey theory. In 1985 Pr\"omel and Voigt made…

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 propose a new family of combinatorial inference problems for graphical models. Unlike classical statistical inference where the main interest is point estimation or parameter testing, combinatorial inference aims at testing the global…

We examine properties of generic automorphisms of the random poset, with the goal of explicitly characterizing them. We associate to each automorphism an auxiliary first-order structure, consisting of the random poset equipped with an…

As a result of 33 intercontinental Zoom calls, we characterise big Ramsey degrees of the generic partial order. This is an infinitary extension of the well known fact that finite partial orders endowed with linear extensions form a Ramsey…

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…

A graph on $n$ vertices is said to be \emph{$C$-Ramsey} if every clique or independent set of the graph has size at most $C \log n$. The only known constructions of Ramsey graphs are probabilistic in nature, and it is generally believed…
