Dense free subgroups of automorphism groups of homogeneous partially ordered sets

Abstract

A countable poset is ultrahomogeneous if every isomorphism between its finite subposets can be extended to an automorphism. The groups Aut(A) of such posets A have a natural topology in which Aut(A) are Polish topological groups. We consider the problem whether Aut(A) contains a dense free subgroup of two generators. We show that if A is ultrahomogeneous, then Aut(A) contains such subgroup. Moreover, we characterize whose countable ultrahomogeneous posets A such that for each natural m, the set of all cyclically dense elements g∈Aut(A)m for the diagonal action is comeager in Aut(A)m. In our considerations we strongly use the result of Schmerl which says that there are essentially four types of countably infinite ultrahomogeneous posets.
