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…

The main results of this paper (a) extend the finite Ramsey partition theorem, and (b) employ this extension to obtain a stronger form of the infinite Nash-Williams partition theorem, and also a new proof of Ellentuck's, and hence…

We amalgamate two generalizations of Ramsey's Theorem--Ramsey classes and the Erd\H{o}s-Rado Theorem--into the notion of a combinatorial Erd\H{o}s-Rado class. These classes are closely related to Erd\H{o}s-Rado classes, which are those from…

We discuss a variant of the Ramsey and the directed Ramsey problem. First, consider a complete graph on $n$ vertices and a two-coloring of the edges such that every edge is colored with at least one color and the number of bicolored edges…

We prove that the primes of the form $x^2+y^2+1$ contain arbitrarily long non-trivial arithmetic progressions.

Given any number field, we prove that there exist arbitrarily shaped constellations consisting of pairwise non-associate prime elements of the ring of integers. This result extends the celebrated Green-Tao theorem on arithmetic progressions…

This paper provides a new and more direct proof of the assertion that a Turing computable function of the natural numbers is primitive recursive if and only if the time complexity of the corresponding Turing machine is bounded by a…

We discuss the externally definable Ramsey property, a weakening of the Ramsey property for ultrahomogeneous structures, where the only colourings considered are those that are externally definable: that is, definable with parameters in an…

We compare the strength of polychromatic and monochromatic Ramsey theory in several set-theoretic domains. We show that the rainbow Ramsey theorem does not follow from ZF, nor does the rainbow Ramsey theorem imply Ramsey's theorem over ZF.…

In this paper we investigate algebraic properties of big Ramsey degrees in categories satisfying some mild conditions. As the first nontrivial consequence of the generalization we advocate in this paper we prove that small Ramsey degrees…

Our main result is a robust generalisation of the Cockayne-Lorimer theorem on the multicolour Ramsey number of matchings. It is moreover a generalisation of the transference generalisation of Cockayne-Lorimer, which (informally) says that…

An ordered graph $\mathcal{G}$ is a simple graph together with a total ordering on its vertices. The (2-color) Ramsey number of $\mathcal{G}$ is the smallest integer $N$ such that every 2-coloring of the edges of the complete ordered graph…

This is an exposition of recent developments in the theory of bounded differences between primes. Readers are expected to be beginners of analytic number theory. The present text is a substantially improved and augmented version of the one…

The transference principle of Green and Tao enabled various authors to transfer Szemer\'edi's theorem on long arithmetic progressions in dense sets to various sparse sets of integers, mostly sparse sets of primes. In this paper, we provide…

Conventional Ramsey-theoretic investigations for edge-colourings of complete graphs are framed around avoidance of certain configurations. Motivated by considerations arising in the field of Qualitative Reasoning, we explore edge colourings…

Ramsey quantifiers are a natural object of study not only for logic and computer science, but also for the formal semantics of natural language. Restricting attention to finite models leads to the natural question whether all Ramsey…

Let $K_m^{(3)}$ denote the complete $3$-uniform hypergraph on $m$ vertices and $S_n^{(3)}$ the $3$-uniform hypergraph on $n+1$ vertices consisting of all $\binom{n}{2}$ edges incident to a given vertex. Whereas many hypergraph Ramsey…
