TITLE: Reference for statement that almost every $n$-element partial order has trivial automorphism group
QUESTION [5 upvotes]: I'm looking for a reference for the statement that almost every partial order on $n$ elements has trivial automorphism group.  I've been told that this is a folklore result.  Does anyone know of a good reference?

REPLY [3 votes]: Prömel (1987) proves a more general statement of rigidity for many classes of structures. In particular he has:
Corollary 2.3. Let $P^u(n)$ denote the number of unlabeled partial orders
on an $n$-element set. Then there exists a constant $s$ such that for all $n$
$$
P^u(n) \le \frac{P(n)}{n!} \left(1 + \frac{s}{2^{n/4}} \right),
$$
and as a consequence,
Corollary 2.3.a. Almost all partial orders are rigid, i.e., have no non-trivial automorphism.
