We survey results and open problems relating degree conditions with tree containment in graphs, random graphs, digraphs and hypergraphs, and their applications in Ramsey theory.
A matching is indecomposable if it does not contain a nontrivial contiguous segment of vertices whose neighbors are entirely contained in the segment. We prove a Ramsey-like result for indecomposable matchings, showing that every…
We prove that under a principle of Ramsey regularity there are no infinite maximal almost disjoint families with respect to the transfinitely iterated Fr\'echet ideals. The results of the present paper were announced by the authors in the…
In this paper we describe the Fra\"iss\'e limit of finite MV-algebras and then prove that finite MV-algebras verify the Ramsey property. Then we show that MV-algebras are just a special case of a more general situation. In fact, under…
Let C_1 and C_2 be strong amalgamation classes of finite structures, with disjoint finite signatures sigma and tau. Then C_1 wedge C_2 denotes the class of all finite (sigma cup tau)-structures whose sigma-reduct is from C_1 and whose…
Every statement of the Ramsey theory of finite structures corresponds to the fact that a particular category has the Ramsey property. We can, then, compare the strength of Ramsey statements by comparing the ``Ramsey strength'' of the…
There is a long history of studying Ramsey theory using the algebraic structure of Stone-Cech compactification of discrete semigroup. It has been shown that various Ramsey theoretic structures are contained in different algebraic large…
We prove that every finite distributive lattice is isomorphic to a final segment of the d.c.e. Turing degrees (i.e., the degrees of differences of computably enumerable sets). As a corollary, we are able to infer the undecidability of 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…
We develop the theory of weak Fraisse categories, where the crucial concept is the weak amalgamation property, discovered relatively recently in model theory. We show that, in a suitable framework, every weak Fraisse category has its unique…
In this paper we present a simple approach to big Ramsey combinatorics of the Cantor set $2^\omega$. Using Infinite Dual Ramsey Theorem of Carlson and Simpson, we show that $2^\omega$, viewed as a topological space, has finite big Ramsey…
We prove that hypergraphs defined by low-degree polynomial inequalities contain large homogeneous subsets. Formally, let $H$ be an $r$-uniform hypergraph on $N$ vertices that is semialgebraic of constant description complexity, and each…
Ramsey's theorem states that for all finite colorings of an infinite set, there exists an infinite homogeneous subset. What if we seek a homogeneous subset that is also order-equivalent to the original set? Let $S$ be a linearly ordered set…
A general method for constructing a new class of topological Ramsey spaces is presented. Members of such spaces are infinite sequences of products of Fra\"iss\'e classes of finite relational structures satisfying the Ramsey property. The…
Building on previous work of the author, for each finite triangle-free graph $\mathbf{G}$, we determine the equivalence relation on the copies of $\mathbf{G}$ inside the universal homogeneous triangle-free graph, $\mathcal{H}_3$, with the…
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…
We define the continuous modeling property for first-order structures and show that a first-order structure has the continuous modelling property if and only if its age has the embedding Ramsey property. We use generalized indiscernible…
We calibrate the reverse mathematical strength of a family of extensions of Ramsey's theorem to finite colorings of certain subsets of the natural numbers of unbounded finite dimension. Specifically, we analyze the principles…
We prove that among the finite dimensional algebras of finite representation type those that are string algebras are precisely the ones that have the property that the middle term of an arbitrary extension of indecomposable modules has at…
Homogenization is a powerful way of taming a class of finite structures with several interesting applications in different areas, from Ramsey theory in combinatorics to constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) in computer science, through…
