A relational structure is homomorphism-homogeneous if any homomorphism between its finite substructures extends to an endomorphism of the structure in question. In this note, we characterise all permutations on a finite set enjoying this property. To accomplish this, we switch from the more traditional view of a permutation as a set endowed with two linear orders to a different representation by a single linear order (considered as a directed graph with loops) whose non-loop edges are coloured in two colours, thereby `splitting' the linear order into two posets.

AbstractWe prove two results about the embeddability relation between Borel linear orders: For η a countable ordinal, let 2η (resp. 2< η) be the set of sequences of zeros and ones of length η (resp. < η), equipped with the lexicographic ordering. Given a Borel linear order X and a countable ordinal ξ, we prove the following two facts.(a) Either X can be embedded (in a (X, ξ) way) in 2ωξ or 2ωξ + 1 continuously embeds in X.(b) Either X can embedded (in a (X, ξ) way) in 2<ωξ or 2ωξ continuously embeds in X. These results extend previous work of Harrington, Shelah and Marker.

Let G be a transitive permutation group acting on a finite set of order n. We discuss certain types of transversals for a point stabiliser A in G: free transversals and global transversals. We give sufficient conditions for the existence of such transversals, and show the connection between these transversals and combinatorial problems of decomposing the complete directed graph into edge disjoint cycles. In particular, we classify all the inner-transitive Oberwolfach factorisations of the complete directed graph. We mention also a connection to Frobenius theorem.

If σ is the order type of a recursive linear order which has a nontrivial automorphism, we let denote the least complexity in the arithmetical hierarchy such that every recursive order of type σ has a nontrivial automorphism of complexity . In Chapter 16 of his book Linear orderings [R], Rosenstein discussed the problem of determining for certain order types σ. For example Rosenstein proved that , where ζ is the order type of the integers, by constructing a recursive linear order of type ζ which has no nontrivial Σ1-automorphism and showing that every recursive linear order of type ζ has a nontrivial Π1-automorphism. Rosenstein also considered linear orders of order type 2 · η, where 2 is the order type of a two-element chain and η is the order type of the rational numbers. It is easily seen that any recursive linear order of type 2 · η has a nontrivial ⊿2-automorphism; he showed that there is a recursive linear order of type 2 · η that has no nontrivial Σ1-automorphism. This left the question, posed in [R] and also by Lerman and Rosenstein in [LR], of whether or ⊿2. The main result of this article is that :

For an ultrafilter [Formula: see text] on a cardinal [Formula: see text] we wonder for which pair [Formula: see text] of regular cardinals, we have: for any [Formula: see text]-saturated dense linear order [Formula: see text] has a cut of cofinality [Formula: see text] We deal mainly with the case [Formula: see text]

A directed graph is also called as a quiver  where  is a finite set of vertices,  is a set of arrows, and  are two maps from  to . A representation  of a quiver  is an assignment of a vector space  to each vertex  of  and a linear mapping  to each arrow.  We denote by  the direct sum of representasions  and  of a quiver  . A representation  is called indecomposable if  is not ishomorphic to a direct sum of non-zero representations. This paper study about the properties of indecomposable representations. These properties will be used to investigate the necessary and sufficient condition of indecomposable representations.

The Ultrapower construction, which builds a new structure AI/D from a relational structure A and an ultrafilter D on a set I, is by now a familiar tool in Model Theory and many other branches of mathematics. In this note we present a result that belongs in the theory of ordered sets, i.e. where the relational structure A has just a single binary relation <, which satisfies the axioms for a strict linear order. We assume that the reader is familiar with the definition and standard notation for ultrapowers, as may be found, for example, in [1]. We differ from [1] only in our eschewing of Gothic capitals.

Let be a finite set of (nonlogical) predicate symbols. By an -structure, we mean a relational structure appropriate for . Let be the set of all -structures with universe {1, …, n}. For each first-order -sentence σ (with equality), let μn(σ) be the fraction of members of for which σ is true. We show that μn(σ) always converges to 0 or 1 as n → ∞, and that the rate of convergence is geometrically fast. In fact, if T is a certain complete, consistent set of first-order -sentences introduced by H. Gaifman [6], then we show that, for each first-order -sentence σ, μn(σ) →n 1 iff T ⊩ ω. A surprising corollary is that each finite subset of T has a finite model. Following H. Scholz [8], we define the spectrum of a sentence σ to be the set of cardinalities of finite models of σ. Another corollary is that for each first-order -sentence a, either σ or ˜σ has a cofinite spectrum (in fact, either σ or ˜σ is “nearly always“ true).Let be a subset of which contains for each in exactly one structure isomorphic to . For each first-order -sentence σ, let νn(σ) be the fraction of members of which a is true. By making use of an asymptotic estimate [3] of the cardinality of and by our previously mentioned results, we show that vn(σ) converges as n → ∞, and that limn νn(σ) = limn μn(σ).If contains at least one predicate symbol which is not unary, then the rate of convergence is geometrically fast.

This paper looks at linear orders in the following way. A preordering is given, which is linear and recursively enumerable. By performing the natural identification, one obtains a linear order for which equality is not necessarily recursive. A format similar to Metakides and Nerode's [3] is used to study these linear orders. In effective studies of linear orders thus far, the law of antisymmetry (x ≦ y ∧ y ≦ x ⇒ y) has been assumed, so that if the order relation x ≦ y is r.e. then x < y is also r.e. Here the assumption is dropped, so that x < y may not be r.e. and the equality relation may not be recursive; the possibility that equality is not recursive leads to new twists which sometimes lead to negative results.Reported here are some interesting preliminary results with simple proofs, which are obtained if one looks at these objects with a view to doing recursion theory in the style of Metakides and Nerode. (This style, set in [3], is seen in many subsequent papers by Metakides and Nerode, Kalantari, Remmel, Retzlaff, Shore, and others, e.g. [1], [4], [6], [7], [8], [11]. In a sequel, further investigations will be reported which look at r.e. presented linear orders in this fashion and in the context of Rosenstein's comprehensive work [10].Obviously, only countable linear orders are under consideration here. For recursion-theoretic notation and terminology see Rogers [9].

AbstractWe address the following question: Can we expand an NIP theory by adding a linear order such that the expansion is still NIP? Easily, if acl(A)=A for all A, then this is true. Otherwise, we give counterexamples. More precisely, there is a totally categorical theory for which every expansion by a linear order has IP. There is also an ω-stable NDOP theory for which every expansion by a linear order interprets pseudofinite arithmetic.

International audience Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite acyclic directed graph. Being motivated by a study of certain aspects of cluster algebras, we are interested in a class of triangulations of the cone of non-negative flows in $G, \mathcal F_+(G)$. To construct a triangulation, we fix a raming at each inner vertex $v$ of $G$, which consists of two linear orders: one on the set of incoming edges, and the other on the set of outgoing edges of $v$. A digraph $G$ endowed with a framing at each inner vertex is called $framed$. Given a framing on $G$, we define a reflexive and symmetric binary relation on the set of extreme rays of $\mathcal F_+ (G)$. We prove that that the complex of cliques formed by this binary relation is a pure simplicial complex, and that the cones spanned by cliques constitute a unimodular simplicial regular fan $Σ (G)$ covering the entire $\mathcal F_+(G)$. Soit $G=(V,E)$ un graphe orientè, fini et acyclique. Nous nous intéressons, en lien avec l’étude de certains aspects des algèbres amassées, à une classe de triangulations du cône des flots positifs de $G, \mathcal F_+(G)$. Pour construire une triangulation, nous ajoutons une structure en chaque sommet interne $v$ de $G$, constituée de deux ordres totaux : l'un sur l'ensemble des arcs entrants, l'autre sur l'ensemble des arcs sortants de $v$. On dit alors que $G$ est structurè. On définit ensuite une relation binaire réflexive et symétrique sur l'ensemble des rayons extrêmes de $\mathcal F_+ (G)$. Nous démontrons que le complexe des cliques formè par cette relation binaire est un complexe simplicial pur, et que le cône engendré par les cliques forme un éventail régulier simplicial unimodulaire $Σ (G)$ qui couvre complètement $\mathcal F_+(G)$.
