oligomorphic permutation group


A permutation groupMathworldPlanetmath acting on a countably infiniteMathworldPlanetmath set is called oligomorphic, if it has finitely many orbits of n-tuples, for all n1.

Ryll-Nardzewski, Engeler, and Svenonius proved that a countably infinite first-order structureMathworldPlanetmath has an oligomorphic automorphism group if and only if the structure is ω-categorical.
