Given a countable set S of positive reals, we study finite-dimensional Ramsey-theoretic properties of the countable ultrametric Urysohn space QS with distances in S.
Big Ramsey Degrees and Divisibility in Classes of Ultrametric Spaces
Abstract Given a countable set $S$ of positive reals, we study finite-dimensional Ramsey-theoretic properties of the countable ultrametric Urysohn space ${{\text{Q}}_{S}}$ with distances in $S$ .
Automorphism Groups of Countably Categorical Linear Orders are Extremely Amenable
• Mathematics, Computer Science

• 2013
It is shown that the automorphism groups of countably categorical linear orders are extremely amenable, and this fact is used to derive the structural Ramsey theorem for certain families of finite ordered structures with finitely many partial equivalence relations with convex classes. Expand
Structural Ramsey Theory and the Extension Property for Partial Automorphisms
We survey recent developments concerning two properties of classes of finite structures: the Ramsey property and the extension property for partial automorphisms (EPPA).

Abstract In this paper we show the extent to which a finite tree of fixed height is a Ramsey object in the class of trees of the same height can be measured by its symmetry group.
