Abstract colorings, games and ultrafilters

Abstract: The main result provide a common generalization for Ramsey-type theorems concerning finite colorings of edge sets of complete graphs with vertices in infinite semigroups. We capture the essence of theorems proved in different fields: for natural numbers due to Milliken--Tylor, Deuber--Hindman, Bergelson--Hindman, for combinatorial covering properties due to Scheepers and Tsaban, and local properties in function spaces due to Scheepers. To this end, we use idempotent ultrafilters in the \v{C}ech--Stone compactifications of discrete infinite semigroups and topological games. The research is motivated by the recent breakthrough work of Tsaban about colorings and the Menger covering property.
