Abstract

We study automorphism groups of trivial strongly minimal structures. First we give a characterization of structures of bounded valency through their groups of automorphisms. Then we characterize the triplets of groups which can be realized as the automorphism group of a non algebraic component, the subgroup stabilizer of a point and the subgroup of strong automorphisms in a trivial strongly minimal structure, and also we give a reconstruction result. Finally, using HNN extensions we show that any profinite group can be realized as the stabilizer of a point in a strongly minimal structure of bounded valency.
