New Ramsey Classes from Old
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 tau-reduct is from C_2. We prove that when C_1 and C_2 are Ramsey, then
C_1 wedge C_2 is also Ramsey. We also discuss variations of this statement, and
give several examples of new Ramsey classes derived from those general results.Comment: 11 pages. In the second version, to be submitted for journal

Ramsey Properties of Permutations
The age of each countable homogeneous permutation forms a Ramsey class. Thus,
there are five countably infinite Ramsey classes of permutations.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures; v2: updated info on related work + some other

The origin of the Japanese and Korean accent systems
S.R. Ramsey writes (1979: 162): "The patterning of tone marks in Old Kyoto texts divides the vocabulary into virtually the same classes as those arrived at by comparing the accent distinctions found in the modern dialects. This means that the Old Kyoto dialect had a pitch system similar to that of proto-Japanese. The standard language of the Heian period may not actually be the ancestor of all the dialects of Japan, but at least as far as the accent system is concerned, it is close enough to the proto system to be used as a working model. The significance of this fact is important: It means that each of the dialects included in the comparison has as much to tell, at least potentially, as any other dialect about Old Kyoto accent.

Large stars with few colors
A recent question in generalized Ramsey theory is that for fixed positive
integers , at least how many vertices can be covered by the vertices
of no more than monochromatic members of the family in every edge
coloring of with colors. This is related to an old problem of Chung
and Liu: for graph and integers what is the smallest positive
integer such that every coloring of the edges of with
colors contains a copy of with at most colors. We answer this question
when is a star and is either or generalizing the well-known
result of Burr and Roberts
A Folkman Linear Family
For graphs and , let signify that any red/blue edge
