A permutation group acting transitively on certain collections of models

It is shown, from $σ$-centered Martin's Axiom, that there exists a proper dense subgroup of the symmetric group on a countably infinite set whose natural action on sufficiently flexible relational structures is transitive. This allows us to give consistent positive answers to some questions of Peter M. Neumann from the 1980s.

Abstract

It is shown, from $σ$-centered Martin's Axiom, that there exists a proper dense subgroup of the symmetric group on a countably infinite set whose natural action on sufficiently flexible relational structures is transitive. This allows us to give consistent positive answers to some questions of Peter M. Neumann from the 1980s.
