%0 Journal Article %T The automorphism group of a saturated model has a large dense free subgroup %A Garvin Melles %A Saharon Shelah %J Mathematics %D 1993 %I arXiv %X We prove that for a stable theory $T,$ if $M$ is a saturated model of $T$ of cardinality $\lambda$ where $\lambda > \big|T\big|,$ then $Aut(M)$ has a dense free subgroup on $2^{\lambda}$ generators. This affirms a conjecture of Hodges. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/9304201v1
