The Small Index Property (countable version)

Definition (Small Index Property - SIP)

Let M be a countable structure. M has the small index property if for any subgroup H of Aut(M) of index less than 2ℵ0, there exists a finite set A ⊂ M such that AutA(M) ⊂ H.

Basic facts on countable SIP

SIP allows us to recover the topological structure of Aut(M) from its pure group structure: Open neighborhoods of 1 in pointwise convergence topology = Subgroups containing pointwise stabilizers AutA(M) for some finite A.

Galois group (of a theory)

The Galois group of a model M, Gal(M) := Aut(M)/Autf (M), is invariant across saturated models of a theory. Possible failures of SIP are encoded in this quotient.

SIP for uncountable structures

We now switch focus to the uncountable, first order, case. Fix λ = λ<λ an uncountable cardinal, and fix M a saturated model of cardinality λ. We now use the topology T λ on Aut(M), whose basic open sets around 1M are stabilizers of subsets of size < λ - as before AutA(M) but now A ⊂ M with |A| < λ.

We now use the topology T λ on Aut(M), whose basic open sets around 1M are stabilizers of subsets of size < λ - as before AutA(M) but now A ⊂ M with |A| < λ. Aut(M) with this topology is of course no longer a Polish space. The techniques from Descriptive Set Theory that have been used for the countable case need to be replaced (Friedman, Hyttinen and Kulikov have a start of Descriptive Set Theory for some uncountable cardinalities, however).

Lascar-Shelah’s Theorem

Theorem (Lascar-Shelah: Uncountable saturated models have the SIP)

Let M be saturated, of cardinality λ = λ<λ and let G be a subgroup of Aut(M) such that [Aut(M) : G] < 2λ. Then there exists A ⊂ M with |A| < λ such that AutA(M) ⊂ G.

Lascar-Shelah’s Theorem

Theorem (Lascar-Shelah: Uncountable saturated models have the SIP)

Let M be saturated, of cardinality λ = λ<λ and let G be a subgroup of Aut(M) such that [Aut(M) : G] < 2λ. Then there exists A ⊂ M with |A| < λ such that AutA(M) ⊂ G. The proof consists of building directly (assuming that G does not contain any open set AutA(M) around the identity) a binary tree of height λ of automorphisms of M in such a way that every two of them are not conjugate. This is enough but requires two crucial notions: generic and existentially closed (sequences of)

  • automorphisms. These are obtained by assuming that G is not
  • pen.

A setting for homogeneity: let (K, ≺K) be an AEC, with LS(K) ≤ λ, |M| = κ > λ, κ<κ = κ. Let K<(M) := {N : N K M, |N| < κ} and fix M ∈ K homogeneous.

A setting for homogeneity: let (K, ≺K) be an AEC, with LS(K) ≤ λ, |M| = κ > λ, κ<κ = κ. Let K<(M) := {N : N K M, |N| < κ} and fix M ∈ K homogeneous. The topology τ cl: base of open neighborhoods given by sets of the form AutX(M) where X ∈ C, where C :=

  • clM (A) : A ⊆ M such that |A| < κ
  • and the “closure

This class of clM-closed sets has enough structure for the proof of SIP.

The main result: SIP for homogeneous AEC.

Theorem (SIP for (Aut(M), T cl) - Ghadernezhad, V.)

Let M be a homogeneous model in an AEC (K, ≺K), with |M| = λ = λ<λ > LS(K), such that K<λ is a strong amalgamation

  • class. Let G ≤ Aut(M) with [Aut(M) : G] ≤ λ (this is, G has small

index in Aut(M)). Then there exists X ∈ C such that AutX(M) ≤ G (i.e., G is open in (Aut(M), T cl)).

Getting many non-conjugates

Proof (rough sketch): suppose G has small index in Aut(M) but is not open (does not contain any basic AutX(M) for X ∈ C. We have enough tools (generic sequences and strong amalgamation bases) to build a Lascar-Shelah tree to reach a contradiction (2λ many branches giving automorphisms of M gσ for σ ∈ 2λ such that if σ = τ ∈ 2λ then g−1

σ

  • gτ /

∈ G). Of course, the possibility of getting these 2λ-many automorphisms requires using the non-openness of G to get the construction going.

Lascar-Shelah tree for our situation

A λ-Lascar-Shelah tree for M and G ≤ Aut(M) is a binary tree of height λ with, for each s ∈ 2<λ, a model Ms ∈ K<(M), gs ∈ Aut(Ms), hs, ks ∈ AutMs(M) such that

◮ hs,0 ∈ G and hs,1 /

∈ G for all s ∈ S;

◮ ks,0 = ks,1 for all s ∈ S; ◮ for s ∈ S and all t ∈ S such that t s :ht [Ms] = Ms (i.e.

ht ∈ Aut{Ms} (M)) and ...;

◮ for s ∈ S and all t ∈ S such that t s : gs · (ht ↾ Ms) · g−1

s

= kt ↾ Ms;

◮ for s ∈ S and β < length (s): as ∈ Ms; ◮ for all s, the families {ht : t s, t ∈ S} and {kt : t s, t ∈ S} are

elements of F (i.e. they are generic).

Generic seqences and Strong amalgamation bases

The main technical tools in the construction of a LS tree are

◮ Guaranteeing generic sequences of automorphisms

(g ∈ Aut(M) is generic if ∀N ∈ K<(M) such that g ↾ N ∈ Aut(N) ∀N1 ≻K N, N1 ∈ K<(M) ∀h ⊃ g ↾ N, h ∈ Aut(N1) ∃α ∈ AutN(M) such that g ⊃ α ◦ h ◦ α−1),

◮ showing they are unique up to conjugation, ◮ getting a generic sequence F = (gi : i ∈ I) such that

  • 1. the set {i ∈ I : gi ↾ M0 = h and gi /

∈ G} has cardinality κ for all M0 ∈ K< (M) and h ∈ Aut (M0);

  • 2. the set {i ∈ I : gi ∈ G} has cardinality κ.

Very recent updates

◮ In November 2016 - about a week ago, Sébastien Vasey has

posted a paper on the ArXiV proving that quasiminimal pregeometries do not require the exchange axiom of

  • pregeometries. This makes it in principle easier to prove that

classes are quasiminimal!

◮ Vasey has also suggested that our theorem applies to wider

classes (excellent classes, and even wider: certain “non-forking frames”). This is work in progress now.
