  20. The Ramsey Classes Classifying Homoge- Ramsey precompact expansions of homogeneous neous directed graphs — Jakub Jasi´ Structures nski, Claude Laflamme, Lionel Gregory Nguyen Van Thé, Robert Woodrow Cherlin (arxiv 24 Oct 2013–23 Jul 2014 (v3)) Introduction In 2005, Kechris, Pestov and Todorcevic The finite case provided a powerful tool . . . More recently, the Directed Graphs framework was generalized allowing for further Homogeneous applications, and the purpose of this paper is to Ordered Graphs apply these new methods in the context of Graphs as homogeneous directed graphs. In this paper, we Metric Spaces show that the age of any homogeneous directed graph allows a Ramsey precompact expansion. Moreover, we . . . describe the respective universal minimal flows [for Aut (Γ) ] .
