Abstract
In this paper we provide purely categorical proofs of two important results of structural Ramsey theory: the result of M. Sokić that the free product of Ramsey classes is a Ramsey class, and the result of M. Bodirsky, M. Pinsker and T. Tsankov that adding constants to the language of a Ramsey class preserves the Ramsey property. The proofs that we present here ignore the model-theoretic background of these statements. Instead, they focus on categorical constructions by which the classes can be constructed generalizing the original statements along the way. It turns out that the restriction to classes of relational structures, although fundamental for the original proof strategies, is not relevant for the statements themselves. The categorical proofs we present here remove all restrictions on the signature of first-order structures and provide the information not only about the Ramsey property but also about the Ramsey degrees.
期刊介绍：
Applied Categorical Structures focuses on applications of results, techniques and ideas from category theory to mathematics, physics and computer science. These include the study of topological and algebraic categories, representation theory, algebraic geometry, homological and homotopical algebra, derived and triangulated categories, categorification of (geometric) invariants, categorical investigations in mathematical physics, higher category theory and applications, categorical investigations in functional analysis, in continuous order theory and in theoretical computer science. In addition, the journal also follows the development of emerging fields in which the application of categorical methods proves to be relevant.
Applied Categorical Structures publishes both carefully refereed research papers and survey papers. It promotes communication and increases the dissemination of new results and ideas among mathematicians and computer scientists who use categorical methods in their research.
