The Ramsey-type rank-pattern dichotomy for simplices

At least 2 years old · documented by

Let Δn={(x1,…,xn)∈[0,1]n:x1≤⋯≤xn}\Delta^n=\{(x_1,\ldots,x_n)\in[0,1]^n: x_1\leq\cdots\leq x_n\}, and let F⊆ΔnF\subseteq\Delta^n. Write Fc=Δn∖FF^c=\Delta^n\setminus F. The rank of a set is defined by the preceding rank condition, and an nn-pattern is a partition pattern of a finite set whose blocks each have size nn. An nn-pattern is essential for FF if it has a copy in F∩Da,bnF\cap D^n_{a,b} for every 0≤a<b≤10\leq a<b\leq1, where Da,bn={x∈Δn:xi∈(a,b) for all i≤n}D^n_{a,b}=\{x\in\Delta^n: x_i\in(a,b)\text{ for all }i\leq n\}. Ramsey-type rank-pattern dichotomy. At least one of the following holds:

rank⁡(Fc)=∞,\operatorname{rank}(F^c)=\infty,

or every finite nn-pattern is essential for FF. This asserts a dichotomy between infinite rank of the complement and the presence of every finite pattern at every scale. The result is presented as a conjectural Ramsey-type phenomenon in the supplied text; its resolution is not specified.
