Induced Subgraphs and Orbits of the automorphism group action

Finite graphs which are homomogeneous, that is, every isomorphism between induced subgraphs extends to an automorphism, are extremely special and have been classified. Indeed, even the graphs which a …

Topologies on an infinite symmetric group

Let $X$ be an infinite set, and let $G$ be the symmetric group on $X$. I want to understand $G$ by putting a topology on it, without imposing any more structure on $X$. What 'interesting' possibilit …

Distinguishing finite-orbit permutation groups by action on tuples

Having thought about it some more, there ought to be an abundance of examples here. This is not quite an answer as I haven't thought of an explicit example yet, but hopefully I am getting close to un …

Automorphisms of locally finite countable posets-2

If I've understood the hypotheses correctly, the covering relation gives a connected locally finite directed graph: starting from a point $x$, the maximal elements underneath it form a finite antichai …

Distinguishing finite-orbit permutation groups by action on tuples

Let $G$ and $H$ be permutation groups on the natural numbers such that the orbits of $G$ and $H$ are all finite. Suppose that for all $\pi \in Sym(\mathbb{N})$, there is some $N$ (depending on $\pi$) …

A characterisation of Boolean algebras

Let $M$ be a meet-semilattice with a least element $0$. Suppose there is an order-reversing involution $a \mapsto -a$ on $M$ such that for all $a, b \in M$, $a \wedge b = 0$ if and only if $b \le -a$ …

Applications of infinite graph theory

The Rado graph (or countable random graph) is graph theory's answer to the normal distribution. It seems almost any sensible definition of drawing edges on a countable graph 'randomly' or even 'pseud …
