Assume true for $r$ and all $k$. By \nameref{prop:3.7}, there exists $S$ and $N$ such that we have a $X^N$ (copy) on which the colouring is $\{1, 2, \ldots, r\}$-invariant on $X^N$ (for any $N$). We will choose $N$ to be as big as we want. \textbf{The clever bit:} \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=0.6\linewidth]{images/9cdf25da7b7e48af.png} \end{center} We will colour $(m - 1)$ sets in $[N]$ say $a_1 < a_2 < \cdots < a_{m - 1}$ as follows. \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=0.6\linewidth]{images/b1637d680d2f4b8e.png} \end{center} $c'(\{a_1, \ldots, a_{m + 1}\}) = (c(w_1), c(w_2), \ldots, c(w_r))$ is a $k^r$ colouring of $[N]^{(m - 1)}$. As $N$ can be taken as big as needed, by Ramsey there exists a $m$-monochromatic set. By relabeling, we may assume that this set is $\{1, 2, \ldots, m\}$ coordinates. \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=0.6\linewidth]{images/e8408da002054225.png} \end{center} Now we look at the following: \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=0.6\linewidth]{images/786a1bb0410a45f1.png} \end{center} with this we note that the colour of $y_i$ is the same as the colour of $x_{i + 1}$. Now look at: $(1, 2, \ldots, m)$, $2, 3, \ldots, m, 1)$, \ldots, $(r + 1, \ldots, r, r - 1)$. monochromatic copy of $\{1, 2, \ldots, r + 1\}$. They all have the same colour (ignoring this). \end{proof} \begin{remark*} Same proof works for any cyclic set: i.e. a set $\{x_1, \ldots, x_n\}$ such that the map $x_i \mapsto x_{i + 1}$ (modulo $n$) is a symmetry of the set. Or equivalently, there exists a cyclic transitive symmetry group on $X$. \end{remark*} \begin{example*} Given by rotation $120^\circ$ and reflection. Generates order $6$. \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=0.6\linewidth]{images/6f8d1f0d632443ef.png} \end{center} This is \gls{eram}. \end{example*} \nonexaminableon A soluble group is ``built'' up from cyclic groups. \begin{theorem*}[Kriz] If $X$ hs a soluble, transitive symmetry group, then $X$ is \gls{eram}. \end{theorem*} Rival conjecture to the \gls{spher} conjecture (2010, Leader, Russell, Walters): $X$ is \gls{eram} if and only if $X$ is subtransitive (subtransitive means that it can be embedded in a transitive set, i.e. it can be embedded in a set that has a transitive isometry group). Why are they rival? \gls{spher} does not imply sub-transitive. sub-transitive does imply \gls{spher}: let $X$ be sub-transitive. Embed into $Y$ transitive. There exists a unique minimal sphere containing $Y$, which is preserved by the isometry group. For \gls{spher} doesn't imply sub-transitive: the \emph{kite}. \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=0.6\linewidth]{images/c014d8add226433b.png} \end{center} This is not sub-transitive. What happens if the kite is \gls{eram}? It would disprove the 2010 conjecture. If not \gls{eram}, it would disprove the original conjecture. It is believed that the transitive conjecture is true. It could also be the case that neither is true :?. \nonexaminableoff
