Isomorphic and Strongly Connected Components

We study the partial orderings of the form $\langle {\mathbb P} ({\mathbb X}), \subset \rangle $, where ${\mathbb X}$ is a binary relational structure with the connectivity components isomorphic to a strongly connected structure ${\mathbb Y}$ and ${\mathbb P} ({\mathbb X})$ is the set of (domains of) substructures of ${\mathbb X}$ isomorphic to ${\mathbb X}$. We show that, for example, for a countable ${\mathbb X}$, the poset $\langle {\mathbb P} ({\mathbb X}), \subset \rangle $ is either isomorphic to a finite power of ${\mathbb P} ({\mathbb Y})$ or forcing equivalent to a separative atomless $σ$-closed poset and, consistently, to $P(ω)/$Fin. In particular, this holds for each ultrahomogeneous structure ${\mathbb X}$ such that ${\mathbb X}$ or ${\mathbb X} ^c$ is a disconnected structure and in this case ${\mathbb Y}$ can be replaced by an ultrahomogeneous connected digraph.

Forcing With Copies of Countable Ordinals

Let αbe a countable ordinal and ¶(α) the collection of its subsets isomorphic to α. We show that the separative quotient of the set ¶(α) ordered by the inclusion is isomorphic to a forcing product of iterated reduced products of Boolean algebras of the form P(ω^γ)/I(ω^γ), where γis a limit ordinal or 1 and I(ω^γ) the corresponding ordinal ideal. Moreover, the poset ¶(α) is forcing equivalent to a two-step iteration P(ω)/Fin * π, where πis an ω_1-closed separative pre-order in each extension by P(ω)/Fin and, if the distributivity number is equal toω_1, to P(ω)/Fin. Also we analyze the quotients over ordinal ideals P(ω^δ)/I(ω^δ) and their distributivity and tower numbers.
