    On Ramsey properties of classes with forbidden trees

    Get PDF
    Let F be a set of relational trees and let Forbh(F) be the class of all structures that admit no homomorphism from any tree in F; all this happens over a fixed finite relational signature σ\sigma. There is a natural way to expand Forbh(F) by unary relations to an amalgamation class. This expanded class, enhanced with a linear ordering, has the Ramsey property.Comment: Keywords: forbidden substructure; amalgamation; Ramsey class; partite method v2: changed definition of expanded class; v3: final versio

    Principal Bundles and the Dixmier Douady Class

    Get PDF
    A systematic consideration of the problem of the reduction and extension of the structure group of a principal bundle is made and a variety of techniques in each case are explored and related to one another. We apply these to the study of the Dixmier-Douady class in various contexts including string structures, U-res bundles and other examples motivated by considerations from quantum field theory.Comment: 28 pages, latex, no figures, uses amsmath, amsthm, amsfonts.
