We give a bibliography of works relating to homogeneous structures in the sense of Fra\"iss\'e, and related topics, mainly through 2016, with some narrow updating through 2021. We first give a list arranged by topics, with references to the…
We develop category-theoretic framework for universal homogeneous objects, with some applications in the theory of Banach spaces, linear orderings, and in topology of compact spaces.
We study classes of graded structures satisfying the properties of amalgamation, joint embedding and hereditariness. Given appropriate conditions, we can build a graded analogue of the Fraisse limit. Some examples such as the class of all…
We classify the metric spaces that can be approximated by finite homogeneous ones.
We show that if g is a generic (in the sense of Baire category) isometry of a generic subspace of the Urysohn metric space U, then g does not extend to a full isometry of U. The same holds for the Urysohn sphere S. Let M be a Fraisse…
Using the model theory of metric structures, I give an alternative proof of the following result by Thomas: If the Continuum Hypothesis fails then there are power of the continuum many universal sofic groups up to isomorphism. This method…
We derive a new sufficient condition for the existence of {\omega}-categorical universal structures in classes of relational structures with constraints, augmenting results by Cherlin, Shelah, Chi, and Hubi\v{c}ka and Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il.…
A general construction of Laakso-type fractal spaces was recently introduced by the first two authors. In this paper, we establish a simple condition characterizing when the Ahlfors regular conformal dimension of a symmetric Laakso-type…
This article is concerned with classes of relational structures that are closed under taking substructures and isomorphism, that have the joint embedding property, and that furthermore have the Ramsey property, a strong combinatorial…
We give an almost entirely model-theoretic account of both Ramsey classes of finite structures and of generalized indiscernibles as studied in special cases in (for example) [7], [9]. We understand "theories of indiscernibles" to be special…
Suppose $\mathscr{L}^-\subseteq \mathscr{L}$ are languages where $\mathscr{L} \setminus\mathscr{L}^-$ is relational. Additionally, let $\mathbf{K}$ be a strong $\textrm{Fra\"iss\'e}$ class in $\mathscr{L}$. We consider the partial ordering,…
We introduce a new class of compact metrizable spaces, which we call fences, and its subclass of smooth fences. We isolate two families $\mathcal F, \mathcal F_0$ of Hasse diagrams of finite partial orders and show that smooth fences are…
We offer a unified treatment of distinct measures of well-posedness for homogeneous conic systems. To that end, we introduce a distance to infeasibility based entirely on geometric considerations of the elements defining the conic system.…
Diversities have recently been developed as multiway metrics admitting clear and useful notions of hyperconvexity and tight span. In this note we consider the analytic properties of diversities, in particular the generalizations of uniform…
We present a construction, called the limit of a tree system of spaces (or, less formally, a tree of spaces). The construction is designed to produce compact metric spaces that resemble fractals, out of more regular spaces, such as closed…
A finite metric space is called here distance degree regular if its distance degree sequence is the same for every vertex. A notion of designs in such spaces is introduced that generalizes that of designs in $Q$-polynomial distance-regular…
The theory of mesoscopic fluctuations is applied to inhomogeneous solids consisting of chaotically distributed regions with different crystalline structure. This approach makes it possible to describe statistical properties of such mixture…
We prove the existence of Sasakian-Einstein metrics on infinitely many rational homology spheres in all odd dimensions greater than 3. In dimension 5 we obain somewhat sharper results. There are examples where the number of effective…
Using a categorial version of Fra\"iss\'e's theorem due to Droste and G\"obel, we derive a criterion for a comma-category to have universal homogeneous objects. As a first application we give new existence result for universal structures…
We realise the algebra $\mathcal W$, the algebra $\mathcal Z_0$ and the algebras $\mathcal Z_0\otimes A$, where $A$ is a unital UHF algebra as Fra\"iss\'e limits of suitable classes of structures. In doing so, we show that such algebras are…
