Ramsey monoids

Recently, Solecki introduced the notion of Ramsey monoid to produce a common generalization to theorems such as Hindman's theorem, Carlson's theorem, and Gowers' FIN$_k$ theorem. He proved that an entire class of finite monoids is Ramsey. Here we improve this result, enlarging this class and finding a simple algebraic characterization of finite Ramsey monoids. We extend in a similar way a result of Solecki regarding a second class of monoids connected to the Furstenberg-Katznelson Ramsey Theorem. The results obtained suggest a possible connection with Schützenberger's theorem and finite automata theory.

Ramsey's coheirs

We use the model theoretic notion of coheir to give short proofs of old and new theorems in Ramsey Theory. As an illustration we start from Ramsey's theorem itself. Then we prove Hindman's theorem and the Hales-Jewett theorem. Finally, we prove two Ramsey theoretic principles that have among their consequences partition theorems of Carlson and of Gowers.
