Abstract

A countable poset is ultrahomogeneous if every isomorphism between its finite subposets can be extended to an automorphism. The groups Aut(A)\operatorname{Aut}(A) of such posets AA have a natural topology in which Aut(A)\operatorname{Aut}(A) are Polish topological groups. We consider the problem whether Aut(A)\operatorname{Aut}(A) contains a dense free subgroup of two generators. We show that if AA is ultrahomogeneous, then Aut(A)\operatorname{Aut}(A) contains such subgroup. Moreover, we characterize whose countable ultrahomogeneous posets AA such that for each natural mm, the set of all cyclically dense elements gˉAut(A)m\bar{g}\in\operatorname{Aut}(A)^m for the diagonal action is comeager in Aut(A)m\operatorname{Aut}(A)^m. In our considerations we strongly use the result of Schmerl which says that there are essentially four types of countably infinite ultrahomogeneous posets.
