A counterexample to the reconstruction of $ω$-categorical structures from their endomorphism monoids

Published 1 Oct 2015 in math.LO | (1510.00356v2)

Abstract: We present an example of two countable $\omega$-categorical structures, one of which has a finite relational language, whose endomorphism monoids are isomorphic as abstract monoids, but not as topological monoids -- in other words, no isomorphism between these monoids is a homeomorphism. For the same two structures, the automorphism groups and polymorphism clones are isomorphic, but not topologically isomorphic. In particular, there exists a countable $\omega$-categorical structure in a finite relational language which can neither be reconstructed up to first-order bi-interpretations from its automorphism group, nor up to existential positive bi-interpretations from its endomorphism monoid, nor up to primitive positive bi-interpretations from its polymorphism clone.
