Model theory studies algebraic structures as models of theories. The structural Ramsey theory combines these two fields and is concerned with Ramsey-type questions about certain model-theoretic structures. In 2005, Ne\\v{s}et\\v{r}il initiated a systematic study of the so-called Ramsey classes of finite structures. This thesis is a contribution to the programme; we find Ramsey expansions of the primitive 3-constrained classes from Cherlin's catalogue of metrically homogeneous graphs. A key ingradient is an explicit combinatorial algorithm to fill-in the missing distances in edge-labelled graphs to obtain structures from Cherlin's classes. This algorithm also implies the extension property for partial automorphisms (EPPA), another combinatorial property of classes of finite structures.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-05-16T15:21:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "metrically homogeneous graphs", "combinatorial property", "model theory studies algebraic structures", "finite structures", "ramsey theory looks" ], "tags": [ "dissertation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
