Stable Group Theory and Approximate Subgroups
نویسنده
چکیده
We note a parallel between some ideas of stable model theory and certain topics in finite combinatorics related to the sum-product phenomenon. For a simple linear group G, we show that a finite subset X with |XXX|/|X| bounded is close to a finite subgroup, or else to a subset of a proper algebraic subgroup of G. We also find a connection with Lie groups, and use it to obtain some consequences suggestive of topological nilpotence. Modeltheoretically we prove the independence theorem and the stabilizer theorem in a general first-order setting.

SEMINAR NOTES on Hrushovski’s Stable group theory and approximate subgroups
Next we had talks on Hrushovski’s paper above. The notes below on sections 2 and 3 are a record of talks by Henson and myself, assume only rudimentary knowledge of model theory, and give detailed proofs. If possible we choose notations and formulations similar to those in Hrushovski’s paper. More to follow. Needless to say, the source for all this is [3] to which we also refer for references to...
متن کاملOn Superstable Groups
S. Shelah [20] has given a description of all countable complete theories T that permit a classification of their models. A necessary condition for T is superstability. A stable (superstable) group is a group interpreted in some stable (superstable) structure. It is equivalent to say that the groups investigated have additional relations and functions such that the whole structure is stable (su...
متن کاملModule approximate amenability of Banach algebras
In the present paper, the concepts of module (uniform) approximate amenability and contractibility of Banach algebras that are modules over another Banach algebra, are introduced. The general theory is developed and some hereditary properties are given. In analogy with the Banach algebraic approximate amenability, it is shown that module approximate amenability and contractibility are the same ...
متن کاملEmbeddings and chains of free groups
We build two nonabelian CSA-groups in which maximal abelian subgroups are conjugate and divisible, as the countable unions of increasing chains of CSA-groups and by keeping the constructions as free as possible in each case. For n ≥ 1, let Fn denote the free group on n generators. We view all groups G as first-order structures 〈G, ·, , 1〉, where ·, , and 1 denote respectively the multiplication...
متن کاملEffectiveness of group counseling based on choice theory on increasing intimacy and marital satisfaction and reducing marital conflicts in married women
Introduction: Marriage is described as the most important and the most basic human relationship. Increasing intimacy and marital satisfaction and reducing marital conflicts are among the most important components of a stable marriage. Counselling and therapies based on choice theory have been used as one of the effective methods on improving stable marriage components. This study was performed ...
