We adapt the notion of a (relatively) definable subset of Aut(M) when M is a saturated model to the case Aut(M/A) when M is atomic and strongly omega-homogeneous over A. We discuss the existence and uniqueness of invariant measures on the…

We study the automorphism group of the algebraic closure of a substructure A of a pseudo-finite field F. We show that the behavior of this group, even when A is large, depends essentially on the roots of unity in F. For almost all…

We examine properties of generic automorphisms of the random poset, with the goal of explicitly characterizing them. We associate to each automorphism an auxiliary first-order structure, consisting of the random poset equipped with an…

Let $G$ be a finite group. Then there exists a first-order statement $S(G)$ in the language of rings without parameters and depending only on $G$ such that, for any field $K$, we have that $K\models S(G)$ if and only if $K$ has a Galois…

We prove the Galois correspondence between the subgroups of a finite automorphism group G of a simple vertex operator algebra V and the vertex operator subalgebras of V containing the set V^G of G-invariants.

Generalizing the $\omega$-categorical context, we introduce a notion, which we call the Lascar Property, that allows for a fine analysis of the topological isomorphisms between automorphism groups of countable structures satisfying this…

One way of studying a relational structure is to investigate functions which are related to that structure and which leave certain aspects of the structure invariant. Examples are the automorphism group, the self-embedding monoid, the…

For a finite group G of Lie type and a prime p, we compare the automorphism groups of the fusion and linking systems of G at p with the automorphism group of G itself. When p is the defining characteristic of G, they are all isomorphic,…

The paper follows two interconnected directions. 1. Let $G$ be a Roelcke precompact closed subgroup of the group $\Sym(\omega)$ of permutations of the natural numbers. Then $\Inn(G)$ is closed in $\Aut(G)$, where $\Aut(G)$ carries the…

We investigate the automorphisms of some $\kappa$- existentially closed groups. In particular, we prove that $Aut(G)$ is the union of subgroups of level preserving automorphisms and $|Aut(G)|=2^{\kappa}$ whenever $\kappa$ is inaccessible…

We study the algebraic properties of binary relations whose underlying digraph is smooth, that is has no source or sink. Such objects have been studied as surjective hyper-operations (shops) on the corresponding vertex set, and as binary…

The purpose of this paper is to constructively develop a Galois theory on irreducible shifts of finite type (SFTs) and to analyze the automorphism groups of SFTs using this framework. Let $X$ and $Y$ be irreducible SFTs. We demonstrate that…

Pippenger's Galois theory of finite functions and relational constraints is extended to the infinite case. The functions involved are functions of several variables on a set $A$ and taking values in a possibly different set $B$, where any…

We present an example of two countable $\omega$-categorical structures, one of which has a finite relational language, whose endomorphism monoids are isomorphic as abstract monoids, but not as topological monoids -- in other words, no…

If G is a (connected) complex Lie Group and Z is a generalized flag manifold for G, the the open orbits D of a (connected) real form G_0 of G form an interesting class of complex homogeneous spaces, which play an important role in the…

Let $R$ be a commutative $k-$algebra over a field $k$. Assume $R$ is a noetherian, infinite, integral domain. The group of $k-$automorphisms of $R$,i.e.$Aut_k(R)$ acts in a natural way on $(R-k)$.In the first part of this article, we study…

We present a Galois theory connecting finitary operations with pairs of finitary relations one of which is contained in the other. The Galois closed sets on both sides are characterised as locally closed subuniverses of the full iterative…

We investigate the relationship between axiomatic set theory and the first-order theory of homeomorphism groups of manifolds in the language of group theory, concentrating on first-order rigidity and type versus conjugacy. We prove that…

This work is motivated by the papers [EG85] and [Ngu15] in which the following two problems are solved. Let $\mathcal{O}$ is a finitely generated $\mathbb{Z}$-algebra that is an integrally closed domain of characteristic zero, consider the…

We make explicit certain results around the Galois correspondence in the context of definable automorphism groups, and point out the relation to some recent papers dealing with the Galois theory of algebraic differential equations when the…
