Ramsey’s Theorem and Higher Dimensional Versions

Thm. (Ramsey) Given n, l ≥ 1 and a coloring c : [ω]n → l , there is aninfinite set M ⊆ ω such that c is monochromatic on [M]n.

Ramsey’s Theorem can be extended to clopen sets on the Baire space.

Def. A set F ⊆ [ω]<ω is Nash-Williams if or a, b ∈ F , a 6< b.

Thm. (Nash-Williams) Every Nash-Williams set F ⊆ [ω]<ω is Ramsey:Given a coloring c on a front F into 2 colors, there is an M ∈ [ω]ω suchthat c is monochromatic on F|M := {a ∈ F : a ⊆ M}.

Extensions of Ramsey’s Theorem to higher dimensions

The Nash-Williams Theorem was later extended by Galvin and Prikry toall metrically Borel subsets of the Baire space.

Silver extended it to all metrically analytic subsets of the Baire space.

The optimal extension of Ramsey’s Theorem to infinite dimensions isEllentuck’s Theorem.

Ellentuck Space ([ω]ω,⊆, r)

Connection with Mathias Forcing

Mathias forcing M has conditions 〈a,X 〉, where a ∈ [ω]<ω, X ∈ [ω]ω,and max(a) < min(X ).

〈b,Y 〉 ≤ 〈a,X 〉 iff b w a, Y ⊆ X , and b \ a ⊆ X .

Mathias forcing is equivalent to forcing using the basic open sets in theEllentuck space, ordered by ⊆.

Connections with Forcing and Ultrafilters

Def. An ultrafilter U on ω is Ramsey if given any coloring c : [ω]n → l ,there is a U ∈ U which is homogenous for c.

P(ω)/fin, or equivalently, ([ω]ω,⊆∗), forces a Ramsey ultrafilter.

Ramsey ultrafilters have complete combinatorics. One way to statethis is that if there is a supercompact cardinal in V , then any Ramseyultrafilter in V is generic for the forcing ([ω]ω,⊆∗) over the Solovaymodel L(R).

For an ultrafilter U , let MU denote Mathias forcing where the tails aremembers of U .

M is forcing equivalent to P(ω)/Fin ∗MU , where U is the Ramseyultrafilter forced by P(ω)/Fin.

Abstract Topological Ramsey Spaces (R,≤, r)

R is a set. ≤ is quasi-order on R.

For each n, rn(·) := r(n, ·) is a restriction map on domain R giving then-th approximation to X .

ARn = {rn(X ) : X ∈ R} AR =⋃

For a ∈ AR, Y ∈ R, a < Y iff rn(Y ) = a for some n.

Basic open sets: [a,X ] = {Y ∈ R : a < Y ≤ X}.

Thm. (D./Todorcevic) (R1,≤) is a topological Ramsey space and isdense below any member of P1.

The generic filter forced by (R1,≤∗) induces an ultrafilter on AR1.Call it U1. U1 is weakly Ramsey: U1 → (U1)2k,2.

Prop. For each n ≥ 2, U1 → (U1)nk,2n−1 .

This is stated in [Laflamme 89]. An elegant proof using topologicalRamsey space methods is given in Navarro Flores’ Masters Thesis.

Thm. (D.) Three examples of sets of pure candidates in [RS] containdense subsets forming topological Ramsey spaces.

For two of these spaces, the pigeonhole principles rely on the followingproduct tree Ramsey theorem.

The proof built on the following Product Tree Theorem.

Thm. (Di Prisco/Llopis/Todorcevic) There is an R : (N+)<ω → N+

such that for every infinite sequence (mj)j<ω of positive integers and forevery coloring

c :⋃n<ω

∏j≤n

R(m0, . . . ,mj)→ 2,

there exist Hj ⊆ R(m0, . . . ,mj), |Hj | = mj , for j < ω, such that c isconstant on the product

∏j≤n Hj for infinitely many n < ω.

Remark. The difference is that we need sets of size k to be able tomove up and down indices of the product.

Conclusion for Day 1

Topological Ramsey spaces provide a unifying framework for manyultrafilters satisfying partition properties and, moreover, yield ultrafilterswith complete combinatorics. They also motivate new Ramsey theorems.

With further work (tomorrow), we obtain:

1 New canonical equivalence relations on fronts and barriers.

2 Exact Rudin-Keisler and Tukey structures as well as the structure ofthe Rudin-Keisler classes inside the Tukey types.
