Universality for and in Induced-Hereditary Graph Properties

Izak Broere, Johannes Heidema (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

The well-known Rado graph R is universal in the set of all countable graphs I, since every countable graph is an induced subgraph of R. We study universality in I and, using R, show the existence of 2 א0 pairwise non-isomorphic graphs which are universal in I and denumerably many other universal graphs in I with prescribed attributes. Then we contrast universality for and universality in induced-hereditary properties of graphs and show that the overwhelming majority of induced-hereditary properties...

When is the orbit algebra of a group an integral domain ? Proof of a conjecture of P.J. Cameron

Maurice Pouzet (2008)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Cameron introduced the orbit algebra of a permutation group and conjectured that this algebra is an integral domain if and only if the group has no finite orbit. We prove that this conjecture holds and in fact that the age algebra of a relational structure R is an integral domain if and only if R is age-inexhaustible. We deduce these results from a combinatorial lemma asserting that if a product of two non-zero elements of a set algebra is zero then there is a finite common tranversal of their...
