Abstract

Given an infinite set Ω\Omega and a ring RR as well as a group GG acting on them, we show that GG and a subgroup HH share the same canonical relational structure on Ω\Omega if and only if the restriction functor gives an equivalence from the category of discrete representations of GG to that of HH. Moreover, the age of this relational structure satisfies the strong amalgamation property if and only if there is a canonical isomorphism from the category of finite substructures of Ω\Omega and embeddings to the opposite category of the orbit category of GG. As an application, we prove that finitely generated discrete representations of highly homogeneous groups over the polynomial ring k[Ω]k[\Omega] are Noetherian.
