We introduce the notion of limiting theories, giving examples and providing a sufficient condition under which the first order theory of a structure is the limit of the first order theories of a collection of substructures. We also give a…

For each $n\geq 2$, we show that the class of all finite $n$-dimensional partial orders, when expanded with $n$ linear orders which realize the partial order, forms a Fra\"iss\'e class and identify its Fra\"iss\'e limit…

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.…

We consider classes of arbitrary (finite or infinite) graphs of bounded shrub-depth, specifically the class $\mathrm{TM}_{r, p}(d)$ of $p$-labeled arbitrary graphs whose underlying unlabeled graphs have tree models of height $d$ and $r$…

Ramsey's theorem for pairs asserts that every 2-coloring of the pairs of integers has an infinite monochromatic subset. In this paper, we study a strengthening of Ramsey's theorem for pairs due to Erdos and Rado, which states that every…

Let $\mathbf{k}$ denote the totally ordered set (or chain) on $k$ elements. The product $\mathbf{k}^t=\mathbf{k}\times\cdots\times\mathbf{k}$ is a poset called a grid. This paper discusses several loosely related results on the Ramsey…

We recover the rays in the tensor product of Hilbert spaces within a larger class of so called `states of compoundness', structured as a complete lattice with the `state of separation' as its top element. At the base of the construction…

We consider a new kind of interpretation over relational structures: finite sets interpretations. Those interpretations are defined by weak monadic second-order (WMSO) formulas with free set variables. They transform a given structure into…

Automatic structures are infinite structures that are finitely represented by synchronized finite-state automata. This paper concerns specifically automatic structures over finite words and trees (ranked/unranked). We investigate the…

In this paper we are interested in the existence of small and big Ramsey degrees of classes of finite unary algebras in arbitrary (not necessarily finite) algebraic language $\Omega$. We think of unary algebras as $M$-sets where $M =…

Ramsey's theorem states that each coloring has an infinite homogeneous set, but these sets can be arbitrarily spread out. Paul Erdos and Fred Galvin proved that for each coloring f, there is an infinite set that is "packed together" which…

We show that the theories of partially ordered sets, lattices, semilattices, Boolean algebras, Heyting algebras with a further coarser partial order, or a linearization, or an auxiliary relation have the strong amalgamation property,…

A structure $\mathcal{M}$ in a first-order language $\mathcal{L}$ is \emph{indivisible} if for every coloring of $M$ in two colors, there is a monochromatic $\mathcal{M}^{\prime} \subseteq \mathcal{M}$ such that…

We characterize the group property of being with infinite conjugacy classes (or icc, i.e. infinite and of which all conjugacy classes except {1} are infinite) for groups which are defined by an extension of groups. We give characterizations…

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…
