Lie-like Decompositions of Groups Definable in O-minimal Structures
نویسنده
چکیده
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 subgroups, and for every such a K there is a maximal definable torsion-free subgroup H such that G/N can be decomposed as G/N = KH, with K ∩ H = {e}. Thus G is definably homotopy equivalent to K. When G is solvable then G/N is already definably compact. In any case (even when G has no maximal definably compact subgroup) we find a definable Lie-like decomposition of G where the role of maximal tori is played by maximal 0-subgroups.

Solvable groups definable in o-minimal structures
Let N be an o-minimal structure. In this paper we develop group extension theory over N and use it to describe N -definable solvable groups. We prove an o-minimal analogue of the Lie-Kolchin-Mal’cev theorem and we describe N -definable G-modules and N -definable
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...
متن کاملGroups Definable in O-minimal Structures
In this series of lectures, we will a) introduce the basics of ominimality, b) describe the manifold topology of groups definable in o-minimal structures, and c) present a structure theorem for the special case of semi-linear groups, exemplifying their relation with real Lie groups. The structure of these lectures is as follows: (1) Basics of o-minimality: definition, Cell Decomposition Theorem...
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 Note on Generic Subsets of Definable Groups
In this paper we generalize the theory of generic subsets of definably compact definable groups to arbitrary o-minimal structures. This theory is a crucial part of the solution to Pillay’s conjecture connecting definably compact definable groups with Lie groups.
