Ramsey expansions of S-metric spaces
Abstract
Let S⊆ ℝ+ be a subset of positive reals. We say that a metric space is an S-metric space if the range of the metric is a subset of S∪ {0}. In 2007, Delhommé, Laflamme, Pouzet, and Sauer characterized those sets S for which the class of all finite S-metric spaces has the amalgamation property. Given an amalgamation class, a natural question is what its Ramsey expansion is. Ramsey expansions are known for classes of S-metric spaces for which S∪{0} carries a natural distance monoid structure, for example for S=ℚ+ or when S is topologically closed. In this paper, we extend this result to all amalgamation classes of finite S-metric spaces, thereby completing the Ramsey-theoretic classification of amalgamation classes of finite S-metric spaces.
