Abstract: Suppose $M$ is a countable ab-initio (uncollapsed) generic structure which is obtained from a pre-dimension function with rational coefficients. We show that if $H$ is a subgroup of $mboxAutleft(Might)$ with $left[mboxAutleft(Might):Hight]<2^{alep{h}_0}$, then there exists a finite set $AsubseteqM$ such that $mbox{Aut}_{A}left(Might)subseteqH$. This shows that $mboxAutleft(Might)$ has the small index property.

Review text

Automorphism groups of Hruskovski ab-initio generic structures are the matter of this dissertation.NEWLINENEWLINEFirst, the collapsed case is considered. It is proved that the automorphism group of a collapsed ab-initio generic structure contains no non-trivial bounded automorphism. Using this and a result of Lascar, the author deduces that the automorphism group of Hruskovski's ``new strongly minimal set is simple.NEWLINENEWLINEIn the uncollapsed case it is shown that the automorphism group is boundedly simple modulo the automorphisms fixing every dimension-zero set pointwise. Even the automorphism groups of the generalized \(n\)-gons constructed by Katrin Tent are shown to be boundedly simple, which implies that there are simple groups with a spherical BN-pair of rank 2 which are non-Moufang and hence not of algebraic origin.NEWLINENEWLINEThe final part of the dissertation examines the small index property in automorphism groups of ab-initio generic structures. In particular it is shown that the automorphism groups of the almost strongly minimal generalized \(n\)-gons have an ``almost small index property.
