Abstract:
W. T. Gowers' theorem asserts that for every Lipschitz function and , there exists an infinite-dimensional subspace of such that the oscillation of on is at most . The proof of this theorem has been reduced by W. T. Gowers to the proof of a new Ramsey type theorem. Our aim is to present a proof of the last result.
