The small index property for the random poset

Martino Lupini

Abstract

Let P be the countable universal homogeneous poset. We prove that every abstract subgroup H ≤ Aut(P) with [Aut(P):H] < 2^{ℵ₀} contains the pointwise stabilizer of a finite subset of P. Thus Aut(P) has the small index property, answering the question recorded as open by Barbina and Macpherson in 2005. No regularity assumption on H is required. The proof equips P with a generic strictly increasing rational-valued rank. Its stabilizer has ample generics, and generic pairs of ranks yield a comeager double coset. We show that the small index property passes from a closed subgroup with such a double coset to the ambient Polish group.
