On limits of betweenness relations (Q6095994)

Infinite primitive Jordan groups were first studied in [\textit{S. A. Adeleke} and \textit{P. M. Neumann}, J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 53, No. 2, 209--229 (1996; Zbl 0865.20005); \textit{S. A. Adeleke} and \textit{D. Macpherson}, Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3) 72, No. 1, 63--123 (1996; Zbl 0839.20002)]; in the latter paper it is shown that such groups are either \(k\)-transitive for all \(k\) or preserve at least one of 12 specified orders or relations on the underlying set. In the present paper, the authors describe a construction of \(2^{\aleph _{0}}\) non-isomorphic Jordan groups which preserve a limit of betweenness relations. The construction involves a limit of \(B\)-relations (see [\textit{M. Bhattacharjee} and \textit{D. Macpherson}, J. Group Theory 9, No. 1, 59--94 (2006; Zbl 1103.20001)]) via finite trees of \(B\)-sets but is too complicated to summarize here.
