Abstract

Partition relations were introduced in 1952 by Paul Erdős and Richard Rado to generalize Ramsey’s Theorem, yielding a seemingly inexhaustible supply of interesting problems. Unlike other classical problems these are far from being completely solved; indeed, there are only a few new deep results. We showcase modern methods of combinatorial set theory by giving new complete proofs of some of these deep results in a unified framework of nonreflecting ideals, using elementary submodels. In the last section we give a separate overview of the recent deep developments for countable underlying sets.
