The Bergman property for endomorphism monoids of some Fra\"{\i}ss\'e limits

Group Theory 2014-03-10 v3 Logic

Abstract

Based on an idea of Y. P\'eresse and some results of Maltcev, Mitchell and Ru\v{s}kuc, we present sufficient conditions under which the endomorphism monoid of a countably infinite ultrahomogeneous first-order structure has the Bergman property. This property has played a prominent role both in the theory of infinite permutation groups and, more recently, in semigroup theory. As a byproduct of our considerations, we establish a criterion for a countably infinite ultrahomogeneous structure to be homomorphism-homogeneous.
