We study the existence of uncountable first-order structures that are homogeneous with respect to their finitely generated substructures. In many classical cases this is either well-known or follows from general facts, for example, if the language is finite and relational then ultrapowers provide arbitrarily large such structures. On the other hand, there are no general results saying that uncountable homogeneous structures with a given age exist. We examine the monoid of self-embeddings of a fixed countable homogeneous structure and, using abstract Fraïssé theory, we present a method of constructing an uncountable homogeneous structure, based on the amalgamation property of this monoid.
期刊介绍:
The journal Annals of Pure and Applied Logic publishes high quality papers in all areas of mathematical logic as well as applications of logic in mathematics, in theoretical computer science and in other related disciplines. All submissions to the journal should be mathematically correct, well written (preferably in English)and contain relevant new results that are of significant interest to a substantial number of logicians. The journal also considers submissions that are somewhat too long to be published by other journals while being too short to form a separate memoir provided that they are of particular outstanding quality and broad interest. In addition, Annals of Pure and Applied Logic occasionally publishes special issues of selected papers from well-chosen conferences in pure and applied logic.
