Canonical partition theorems for parameter sets

AbstractA canonical (i.e., unrestricted) version of the partition theorem for k-parameter sets of Graham and Rothschild (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc.159 (1971), 257–291) is proven. Some applications, e.g., canonical versions, of the Rado-Folkman-Sanders theorem and of the partition theorem for finite Boolean algebras are given. Also the Erdös-Rado canonization theorem (J. London Math. Soc.25 (1950), 249–255) turns out to be an immediate corollary
