Macpherson showed that for primitive actions, the growth is at least exponential (if the sequence is not constant equal to 1). The best lower bound previously known for the base of the exponential was obtained by Merola. We establishing the optimal value of 2 in the case where the structure is unstable. This allows us to improve on Merola's bound and also obtain the optimal value for structures homogeneous in a finite relational language. Finally, we show that the study of sequences (f_n) of sub-exponential growth reduces to the omega-stable case.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-10-15T17:31:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03C15", "03C68", "05A16", "20B27" ], "keywords": [ "finite substructures", "omega-categorical structures", "optimal value", "finite relational language", "sub-exponential growth reduces" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
