Abstract

Several canonical partition theorems are obtained, including a simultaneous generalization of Neumer's lemma and the Erdös-Rado theorem. The canonical partition relation for infinite cardinals is completely determined, answering a question of Erdös and Rado. Counterexamples are given showing that in several ways these results cannot be improved.
