Almost any reasonable class of finite relational structures has the Ramsey property or a precompact Ramsey expansion. In contrast to that, the list of classes of finite algebras with the precompact Ramsey expansion is surprisingly short. In…

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…

We present some general results implying nonfinite axiomatisability of many additively idempotent semirings with finitely based semigroup reducts. The smallest is a $3$-element commutative example, which we show also has \texttt{NP}-hard…

Furstenberg, using tools from topological dynamics, defined the notion of a central subset of positive integers, and proved a powerful combinatorial theorem about such sets. Using the algebraic structure of the Stone-\v{C}ech…

The main result provide a common generalization for Ramsey-type theorems concerning finite colorings of edge sets of complete graphs with vertices in infinite semigroups. We capture the essence of theorems proved in different fields: for…

The paper describes the algebraic structure of the graded algebra of differentially homogeneous polynomials of fixed finite order. We show that it is a finitely generated algebra, and we exhibit a minimal set of generators. Along the way,…

For a finite lattice $\Lambda$, $\Lambda$-ultrametric spaces are a convenient language for describing structures equipped with a family of equivalence relations. When $\Lambda$ is finite and distributive, there exists a generic…

The Ramsey Choice principle for families of $n$-element sets, denoted $\mathrm{RC}_n$, states that every infinite set $X$ has an infinite subset $Y\subseteq X$ with a choice function on $[Y]^n := \{z\subseteq Y : |z| = n\}$. We investigate…

In this paper, we study definably compact semigroups in o-minimal structures, aiming to extend the theory of definable groups to a broader algebraic setting. We show that any definably compact semigroup contains idempotents and admits a…

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…

The theory of finitely supported algebraic structures represents a reformulation of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory in which every construction is finitely supported according to the action of a group of permutations of some basic elements…

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 continue the exploration of various aspects of divisibility of ultrafilters, adding one more relation to the picture: multiplicative finite embeddability. We show that it lies between divisibility relations $\mid_M$ and…

We present several combinatorial properties of semiselective ideals on the set of natural numbers. The continuum hypothesis implies that the complement of every selective ideal contains a selective ultrafilter, however for semiselective…

In this paper we show that a countable structure admitting a finite monomorphic decomposition has finite big Ramsey degrees if and only if so does every monomorphic part in its minimal monomorphic decomposition. The necessary prerequisite…

In recent years, there has been much progress in the field of structural Ramsey theory, in particular in the study of big Ramsey degrees. In all known examples of infinite structures with finite big Ramsey degrees, there is in fact a single…
