Problem Statement

Let \Psi\equal{}\langle A;...\rangle be an arbitrary, countable algebraic structure (that is, Ψ \Psi can have an arbitrary number of finitary operations and relations). Prove that Ψ \Psi has as many as continuum automorphisms if and only if for any finite subset A A' of A A there is an automorphism πA \pi_{A'} of Ψ \Psi different from the identity automorphism and such that (x) \pi_{A'}\equal{}x for every xA x \in A'.
