Abstract

We study the pp-adic algebraic groups GG from the definable topological-dynamical point of view. We consider the case that MM is an arbitrary pp-adic closed field and GG an algebraic group over Qp{\mathbb Q}_p admitting an Iwasawa decompostion G=KBG=KB, where KK is open and definably compact over Qp{\mathbb Q}_p, and BB is a borel subgroup of GG over Qp{\mathbb Q}_p. Our main result is an explicit description of the minimal subflow and Ellis Group of the universal definable G(M)G(M)-flow SG(Mext)S_G(M^{\text{ext}}). We prove that the Ellis group of SG(Mext)S_G(M^{\text{ext}}) is isomorphic to the Ellis group of SB(Mext)S_B(M^{\text{ext}}), which is B/B0B/B^0. As applications, we conclude that the Ellis groups corresponding to GL(n,M)\text{GL}(n,M) and SL(n,M)\text{SL}(n,M) are isomorphic to (Z^×Zp)n(\hat {\mathbb Z} \times {\mathbb Z}_p^*)^n and (Z^×Zp)n1(\hat {\mathbb Z} \times {\mathbb Z}_p^*)^{n-1} respectively, generalizing the main result of Penazzi, Pillay, and Yao in Some model theory and topological dynamics of pp-adic algebraic groups, Fundamenta Mathematicae, 247 (2019), pp. 191--216.
