Fraisse Limits and Tensor Spaces

In model theory Fraisse limits are certain highly homogeneous countable structures -- examples include the rational numbers as the unique dense linear order without endpoints, and the Rado graph as the "unique infinite random graph".  I will discuss the basics of this theory, and then discuss some recent work with Andrew Snowden extending this notion to linear algebraic settings where we construct certain ultrahomogenous tensor spaces.
