چکیده
We prove that groups definable in o-minimal structures have Cartan subgroups, and only finitely many conjugacy classes of such subgroups. We also delineate with precision how these subgroups cover the ambient group.

متن کاملConjugacy of Carter Subgroups in Groups of Finite Morley Rank
The Cherlin-Zil’ber Conjecture states that all simple groups of finite Morley rank are algebraic. We prove that any minimal counterexample to this conjecture has a unique conjugacy class of Carter subgroups, which are defined as being the definable connected nilpotent subgroups of finite index in their normalizers, and which are analogous to Cartan subgroups in algebraic
متن کاملLie-like Decompositions of Groups Definable in O-minimal Structures
There are strong analogies between groups definable in o-minimal structures and real Lie groups. Nevertheless, unlike the real case, not every definable group has maximal definably compact subgroups. We study definable groups G which are not definably compact showing that they have a unique maximal normal definable torsion-free subgroup N ; the quotient G/N always has maximal definably compact ...
متن کاملA descending chain condition for groups definable in o-minimal structures
We prove that if G is a group definable in a saturated o-minimal structure, then G has no infinite descending chain of type-definable subgroups of bounded index. Equivalently, G has a smallest (necessarily normal) type-definable subgroup G of bounded index and G/G equipped with the “logic topology” is a compact Lie group. These results give partial answers to some conjectures of the fourth auth...
متن کاملA survey on groups definable in o-minimal structures
Groups definable in o-minimal structures have been studied for the last twenty years. The starting point of all the development is Pillay’s theorem that a definable group is a definable group manifold (see Section 2). This implies that when the group has the order type of the reals, we have a real Lie group. The main lines of research in the subject so far have been the following: (1) Interpret...
