Title: Model Theory in Ramsey Theory

Abstract: Classical finite Ramsey theorem states that for any natural number \(m\leq n\) and a number of colours \(k\geq 2\), there is a natural number \(N\) such that whenever we colour \(m\)-tuples of \(\{1,2,\ldots, N\}\) by \(k\) colours, there is an \(n\)-element subset \(Y\) of  \(\{1,2,\ldots, N\}\) whose all \(m\)-element subsets received the same colour. This theorem has generalizations in possibly every area of mathematics. In this talk, we will focus on structural Ramsey theory, which in place of finite sets speaks about finite structures in some first-order language, such as finite graphs, finite Boolean algebras, or finite vector spaces over finite fields. I will talk about recent research in model-theoretic transfer principles of Ramsey properties between classes of finite structure (joint work with Lynn Scow) and from classes of finite structures to their ultraproducts (AIMSQuaREs project with Mirna Dzamonja, Rehana Patel, and Lynn Scow).
