Title: Uniform homogeneity

Abstract. A mathematical structure is called homogeneous if every isomorphism between its small substructures extends to an automorphism. Typically, "small" means "finite" or "finitely generated". A stronger variant, which we call "uniform homogeneity" requires that for each small substructure there is a suitable extension operator. We shall present examples of homogeneous but uniformly homogeneous structures. The talk is based on two works: one joint with S. Shelah (https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.09650), another one joint with B. Kuzeljevic (https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.13643).

Title: Abstract Banach-Mazur game

Abstract. We will discuss an infinite game in which two players alternately choose some objects (structures) from a given class. The only rule is that at each move the structure chosen by the player should extend the one chosen in the previous move by the opponent. One of the players wins if the limit of the chain of structures resulting from the play is isomorphic to some concrete (fixed in advance) object. We will show some basic results and relevant examples concerning the existence of winning strategies.
