Abstract
When studying the automorphism group Aut(M) of a model M, one is interested to what extent M is recoverable from Aut(M). We show that if M is a countable arithmetically saturated of Peano Arithmetic, then Aut(M) can recognize if a maximal open subgroup is a stabilizer of a nonstandard element, which is smaller than any nonstandard definable element.
We use that fact to show that if M1, M2 are countable arithmetically saturated models of Peano Arithmetic such that Aut(M1) ≅ Aut( M2), then (ω, Rep(Th(M1))) [special characters omitted] iff (ω, Rep(Th(M2)) [special characters omitted]. Here: [special characters omitted] is Ramsey's Theorem stating that every 2-coloring of [ω] n has an infinite homogeneous set; and if T ⊃ PA is a complete and consistent theory, then we define Rep(T) = {ω ∩ X : X is a definable set in a prime model of T}.
Using this result we show the existence of countable arithmetically saturated models M0, M1, M2, M3 of Peano Arithmetic such that they have the same standard system and Aut(Mi) [special characters omitted] Aut(Mj), where i < j < 4.
We also show the similar results for saturated models of Peano Arithmetic of cardinality [special characters omitted].
