This answers one of the main open questions from the 1985 paper of Abraham-Rubin-Shelah. As in their paper, we need to construct names for so-called preassignments of colors in order to add the necessary homogeneous sets. However, these names are constructed over models satisfying the CH. In order to address this difficulty, we show how to construct such names with very strong symmetry conditions. This symmetry allows us to combine them in many different ways, using a new type of poset called a Partition Product, and thereby obtain a model of this axiom in which $2^{aleph_0}=aleph_3$.","PeriodicalId":50144,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematical Logic","volume":"56 1","pages":"2150027:1-2150027:55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2019-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82272482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A closed subgroup [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is called oligomorphic if for each [Formula: see text], its natural action on [Formula: see text]-tuples of natural numbers has only finitely many orbits. We study the complexity of the topological isomorphism relation on the oligomorphic subgroups of [Formula: see text] in the setting of Borel reducibility between equivalence relations on Polish spaces. Given a closed subgroup [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], the coarse group [Formula: see text] is the structure with domain the cosets of open subgroups of [Formula: see text], and a ternary relation [Formula: see text]. This structure derived from [Formula: see text] was introduced in [A. Kechris, A. Nies and K. Tent, The complexity of topological group isomorphism, J.

Coarse groups form our main tool in studying such closed subgroups of [Formula: see text]. We axiomatize them abstractly as structures with a ternary relation. For the oligomorphic groups, and also the profinite groups, we set up a Stone-type duality between the groups and the corresponding coarse groups. In particular, we can recover an isomorphic copy of [Formula: see text] from its coarse group in a Borel fashion. We use this duality to show that the isomorphism relation for oligomorphic subgroups of [Formula: see text] is Borel reducible to a Borel equivalence relation with all classes countable.

Building on the author's result for $mathcal{H}_3$, we prove that for each $kge 4$, $mathcal{H}_k$ has finite big Ramsey degrees: To each finite $k$-clique-free graph $G$, there corresponds an integer $T(G,mathcal{H}_k)$ such that for any coloring of the copies of $G$ in $mathcal{H}_k$ into finitely many colors, there is a subgraph of $mathcal{H}_k$, again isomorphic to $mathcal{H}_k$, in which the coloring takes no more than $T(G, mathcal{H}_k)$ colors. Prior to this article, the Ramsey theory of $mathcal{H}_k$ for $kge 4$ had only been resolved for vertex colorings by El-Zahar and Sauer in 1989. We develop a unified framework for coding copies of $mathcal{H}_k$ into a new class of trees, called strong $mathcal{H}_k$-coding trees, and prove Ramsey theorems for these trees, forming a family of Halpern-Lauchli and Milliken-style theorems which are applied to deduce finite big Ramsey degrees. The approach here streamlines the one in cite{DobrinenH_317} for $mathcal{H}_3$ and provides a general methodology opening further study of big Ramsey degrees for homogeneous structures with forbidden configurations. The results have bearing on topological dynamics via work of Kechris, Pestov, and Todorcevic and recent work of Zucker.","PeriodicalId":50144,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematical Logic","volume":"162 1","pages":"2250018:1-2250018:88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2019-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83856817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
