  1. Self-dual Ramsey theorem Definition A function s : [ L ] → [ K ] is a rigid surjection if it is surjective and images of initial segments of [ L ] are initial segments of [ K ]. s is a rigid surjection iff s ( x ) ≤ 1 + max y < x s ( y ) for each x ∈ [ L ]. Theorem (Graham–Rothschild) Given K, L and d > 0 there exists M such that for each d-coloring of all rigid surjections [ M ] → [ K ] there exists a rigid surjection t 0 : [ M ] → [ L ] such that { s ◦ t 0 : s : [ L ] → [ K ] a rigid surjection } is monochromatic.

  2. Self-dual Ramsey theorem Definition A pair ( s , i ) is a connection between L and K if s : [ L ] → [ K ], i : [ K ] → [ L ] and for each x ∈ [ K ] s ( i ( x )) = x and ∀ y < i ( x ) s ( y ) ≤ x . S� lawomir Solecki (University of Illinois) Abstract approach to Ramsey May 2011 8 / 42

  3. Self-dual Ramsey theorem Definition A pair ( s , i ) is a connection between L and K if s : [ L ] → [ K ], i : [ K ] → [ L ] and for each x ∈ [ K ] s ( i ( x )) = x and ∀ y < i ( x ) s ( y ) ≤ x . So, i is a left inverse of s and at each x ∈ [ K ] the value i ( x ) is picked only from those elements of s − 1 ( x ) that are “visible from x ,” S� lawomir Solecki (University of Illinois) Abstract approach to Ramsey May 2011 8 / 42

So, i is a left inverse of s and at each x ∈ [ K ] the value i ( x ) is picked only from those elements of s − 1 ( x ) that are “visible from x ,” that is, from those y ′ ∈ s − 1 ( x ) for which s ↾ ( { y : y < y ′ } ) ≤ x .
