A Ramsey-type phenomenon in two and three dimensional simplices

Abstract

We develop a Ramsey-like theorem for subsets of the two and three-dimensional simplex. A generalization of the combinatorial theorem presented here to all dimensions would produce a new proof that ${\text{Homeo}}_{+}[0,1]$ is extremely amenable (a theorem due to Pestov) using general results of Uspenskij on extreme amenability in homeomorphism groups.
