Ultrafilters and multidimensional Ramsey theorems (Q584266)

Simultaneous generalizations of Ramsey's theorem and single dimension Ramsey-type theorems are proved using ultrafilters on the set N of natural numbers which have certain special properties. The main result utilizes a ``combinatorically large ultrafilter'' to obtain a very strong generalization of Ramsey's theorem and Van der Waerden's theorem. Examples are given to show directions in which these results can be extended.
