An infinitary polynomial van der Waerden theorem (Q1291118)

The paper studies the existence of monochromatic structures of infinite cardinality for finite colorings of semigroups. The main result of the paper can be viewed both as an infinitary version of a polynomial van der Waerden theorem of Bergelson and Leibmann and as a polynomial version of an infinitary van der Waerden theorem of Furstenberg. An extension of this result to VIP-systems in general countable abelian semigroups is discussed.
