Cherlin¿s Conjecture for Finite Primitive Binary Permutation Groups

af Nick Gill

This book gives a proof of Cherlin¿s conjecture for finite binary primitive permutation groups. Motivated by the part of model theory concerned with Lachlan¿s theory of finite homogeneous relational structures, this conjecture proposes a classification of those finite primitive permutation groups that have relational complexity equal to 2. The first part gives a full introduction to Cherlin¿s conjecture, including all the key ideas that have been used in the literature to prove some of its speci... (Læs mere)
