Abstract

Answering a question of Junker and Ziegler, we construct a countable first order structure which is not ω-categorical, but does not have any proper nontrivial reducts, in either of two senses (model-theoretic, and group-theoretic). We also construct a strongly minimal set which is not ω-categorical but has no proper nontrivial reducts in the model-theoretic sense.
