Groups, measures, and the NIP

چکیده
We discuss measures, invariant measures on definable groups, and genericity, often in an NIP (failure of the independence property) environment. We complete the proof of the third author’s conjectures relating definably compact groups G in saturated o-minimal structures to compact Lie groups. We also prove some other structural results about such G, for example the existence of a left invariant finitely additive probability measure on definable subsets of G. We finally introduce a new notion “compact domination” (domination of a definable set by a compact space) and raise some new conjectures in the o-minimal case.

On NIP and invariant measures
We study forking, Lascar strong types, Keisler measures and definable groups, under an assumption of NIP (not the independence property), continuing aspects of the paper [16]. Among key results are (i) if p = tp(b/A) does not fork over A then the Lascar strong type of b over A coincides with the compact strong type of b over A and any global nonforking extension of p is Borel definable over bdd...
متن کاملA Note on Generically Stable Measures and fsg Groups
We prove (Proposition 2.1) that if μ is a generically stable measure in an NIP theory, and μ(φ(x, b)) = 0 for all b then for some n, μ(∃y(φ(x1, y)∧ ..∧φ(xn, y))) = 0. As a consequence we show (Proposition 3.2) that if G is a definable group with fsg in an NIP theory, and X is a definable subset of G then X is generic if and only if every translate of X does not fork over ∅, precisely as in stab...
متن کاملPseudofinite groups with NIP theory and definability in finite simple groups
We show that any pseudofinite group with NIP theory and with a finite upper bound on the length of chains of centralisers is soluble-by-finite. In particular, any NIP rosy pseudofinite group is soluble-by-finite. This generalises, and shortens the proof of, an earlier result for stable pseudofinite groups. An example is given of an NIP pseudofinite group which is not soluble-by-finite. However,...
متن کاملKernicterus in Two Generations: A Need for More Aggressive Preventive Measures
Bilirubin induced brain damage is still a common cause of morbidity and mortality in Nigerian infants. No much success has been recorded in decades despite the fact that brain damage from bilirubin toxicity in the newborn is easily preventable with affordable and effective means. We report a case of a newborn with acute bilirubin encephalopathy. This case was considered of interest because the ...
متن کاملGenerically stable and smooth measures in NIP theories
We formulate the measure analogue of generically stable types in first order theories with NIP (without the independence property), giving several characterizations, answering some questions from [9], and giving another treatment of uniqueness results from [9]. We introduce a notion of “generic compact domination”, relating it to stationarity of Keisler measures, and also giving group versions....
