Abstract:
This talk will introduce homogeneous structures, which have an extremely transitive automorphism group, and Fraisse's theory connecting them to amalgamation classes, which are classes of finite structures satisfying a simple combinatorial property. Remaining time will be spent discussing recent results in the direction of classifying the homogeneous structures of n linear orders.
