    Some Ramsey theorems for finite nn-colorable and nn-chromatic graphs

    Full text link
    Given a fixed integer nn, we prove Ramsey-type theorems for the classes of all finite ordered nn-colorable graphs, finite nn-colorable graphs, finite ordered nn-chromatic graphs, and finite nn-chromatic graphs.Comment: 7 page

    Ramsey properties of products and pullbacks of categories and the Grothendieck construction

    Full text link
    In this paper we provide purely categorical proofs of two important results of structural Ramsey theory: the result of M.\ Soki\'c that the free product of Ramsey classes is a Ramsey class and the result of M.\ Bodirsky that adding constants to the language of a Ramsey class preserves the Ramsey property. The proofs that we present here ignore the model-theoretic background of these statements. Instead, they focus on categorical constructions by which the classes can be constructed, generalizing the original statements along the way. It turns out that the restriction to classes of relational structures, although fundamental for the original proof strategies, is not relevant for the statements themselves. The categorical proofs we present here remove all the restrictions on the signature of first-order structures and provide the information not only about the Ramsey property but also about the Ramsey degrees

    Ramsey precompact expansions of homogeneous directed graphs

    Full text link
    In 2005, Kechris, Pestov and Todorcevic provided a powerful tool to compute an invariant of topological groups known as the universal minimal flow, immediately leading to an explicit representation of this invariant in many concrete cases. More recently, the framework was generalized allowing for further applications, and the purpose of this paper is to apply these new methods in the context of homogeneous directed graphs. In this paper, we show that the age of any homogeneous directed graph allows a Ramsey precompact expansion. Moreover, we verify the relative expansion properties and consequently describe the respective universal minimal flows

    We study in this paper some connections between the Fraisse theory of amalgamation classes and ultrahomogeneous structures, Ramsey theory, and topological dynamics of automorphism groups of countable structures.Comment: 73 pages, LaTeX 2e, to appear in Geom. Funct. Ana
