Abstract

We disprove a conjecture from Kubiś and Mašulović [2] by showing the existence of a Fraïssé class \(\mathcal {C}\) which does not admit a Katětov functor. On the other hand, we show that the automorphism group of the Fraïssé limit of \(\mathcal {C}\) is universal, as it happens in the presence of a Katětov functor.
