The existence of G00 and torsion-freeness in the abelian case
Complexo Interdisciplinar, Sala B3-01

A. USVYATSOV & P. ELEFTHERIOU (CMAF - Universidade de Lisboa)

Abstract:

Eleftheriou will finish the proof of the existence of G00. If time allows, Usvyatsov will prove the following theorem: Let G be a definably compact definably connected abelian group definable in an o-minimal expansion of a field. Then G^{00} is torsion free. The proof splits into two parts: 1. For every definable set X, Stab(X) is a type-definable subgroup of G. This uses some general nonsense about generic sets. 2. Stab(X) is of bounded index in G. This uses dependence and Keisler measures.
