Let Ω be the Fraisse limit of a class of relational structures. We seek to answer the following semigroup theoretic question about Ω. What are the group H -classes, i.e. the maximal subgroups, of End(Ω)? Fraisse limits for which we answer this question include the random graph R, the random directed graph D, the random tournament T , the random bipartite graph B, Henson’s graphs Gn (n ≥ 3) and the total order Q. The maximal subgroups of End(Ω) are closely connected to the automorphism groups of the relational structures induced by the images of idempotents from End(Ω). In [BD00] and [Dol12] it was shown that the relational structure induced by the image of an idempotent from End(Ω) is algebraically closed. Accordingly, we investigate which groups can be realised as the automorphism group of an algebraically closed relational structure in order to determine the maximal subgroups of End(Ω) in each case. In particular, we show that if Γ is a countable graph and Ω = R,D,B, then there exist 2א0 maximal subgroups of End(Ω) which are isomorphic to Aut(Γ). Additionally, we provide a complete description of the subsets of Q which are the image of an idempotent from End(Q). We call these subsets retracts of Q and show that if Ω is a total order and f : Ω → Q is an embedding such that im f is a retract of Q, then there exist 2א0 maximal subgroups of End(Q) isomorphic to Aut(Ω). We also show that any countable maximal subgroup of End(Q) must be isomorphic to Z for some n ∈ N. As a consequence of the methods developed, we are also able to show that when Ω = R,D,B,Q there exist 2א0 regular D-classes of End(Ω) and when Ω = R,D,B there exist 2א0 J -classes of End(Ω). Additionally we show that if Ω = R,D then all regular D-classes contain 2א0 group H -classes. On the other hand, we show that when Ω = B,Q there exist regular D-classes which contain countably many group H -classes.
