Abstract

Showing that the Ramsey property holds for a class of finite structures can be an extremely challenging task and a slew of sophisticated methods have been proposed in literature.In this paper we propose a new strategy to show that a class of structures has the Ramsey property. The strategy is based on a relatively simple result in category theory and consists of establishing a pre-adjunction between the category of structures which is known to have the Ramsey property, and the category of structures we are interested in.We demonstrate the applicability of this strategy by providing short proofs of three important well known results: we show the Ramsey property for the category of all finite linearly ordered posets with embeddings, for the category of finite convexly ordered ultrametric spaces with embeddings, and for the category of all finite linearly ordered metric spaces (rational metric spaces) with embeddings.
