Title
The Reducts of the homogeneous Binary Branching C-Relation.
Abstract
Let (L; C) be the (up to isomorphism unique) countable homogeneous structure carrying a binary branching C-relation. We study the reducts of (L; C), i.e., the structures with domain L that are first-order definable in (L; C). We show that up to existential interdefinability, there are finitely many such reducts. This implies that there are finitely many reducts up to first-order interdefinability, thus confirming a conjecture of Simon Thomas for the special case of (L; C). We also study the endomorphism monoids of such reducts and show that they fall into four categories.
