Ineffably Ramsey cardinal

Ineffably Ramsey cardinal

In mathematics, an ineffably Ramsey cardinal (named after Frank P. Ramsey and after ineffable cardinals) is a certain kind of large cardinal number.

Formally, a cardinal number &kappa; such that for every function "f": [ &kappa;] < &omega; &rarr; {0, 1} (with [&kappa;] < &omega; denoting the set of all finite subsets of &kappa;) there is a stationary set "A" that is homogeneous for "f" (i.e.: for every "n", "f" is constant on the "n"-tuples from "A") is called Ramsey.

It is obvious from the definition that an ineffably Ramsey cardinal is both Ramsey and totally ineffable.
