Automorphism groups of countable structures and groups of measurable functions
Abstract
Let be a topological group and let be the Lebesgue measure on the interval . We let to be the topological group of all -equivalence classes of -measurable functions defined on [0,1] with values in , taken with the pointwise multiplication and the topology of convergence in measure. We show that for a Polish group , if has ample generics, then has ample generics, thus the converse to a result of Ka\"{i}chouh and Le Ma\^{i}tre. We further study topological similarity classes and conjugacy classes for many groups and , where is a countable structure. We make a connection between the structure of groups generated by tuples, the Hrushovski property, and the structure of their topological similarity classes. In particular, we prove the trichotomy that for every tuple of , where is a countable structure such that algebraic closures of finite sets are finite, either the countable group is precompact, or it is discrete, or the similarity class of is meager, in particular the conjugacy class of is meager. We prove an analogous trichotomy for groups .
