Recall that f is an automorphism of A iff f is an isomorphism of A onto itself and recall that a structure A is rigid iff the only automorphism of A is the identity function from A onto A. We define G_n to be the set of simple graphs with node set {1,...,n} and G to be the union (for all finite n) of G_n. Let R contained in G be the set of rigid simple graphs and let R_n = R (intersect) G_n. Now recall that the infinitary logic L_(infinity,w) extends FO with infinitary conjunctions and disjunctions. L_(infinity,w)^k uses at most k variables in this logic. The finite variable infinitary logic is the union of L_(infinity,w)^k for all natural numbers k. The question is to show that R is not finite variable infinitary logic-definable over G. It may be useful to use the result lim(n->infinity) |R_n|/|G_n| = 1 (this can be used w/o proof). Desired timeframe: 5 days |
