Nonstandard natural numbers in Ramsey Theory
Mauro Di Nasso, Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Pisa,
In Ramsey Theory, ultrafilters often play an instrumental role. By using nonstandard models of the integers, one can replace those third-order objects (ultrafilters are families of subsets) by simple points. In this talk we present a nonstandard technique that is grounded on the above observation, and show its use in proving some new results in Ramsey Theory of Diophantine equations.
