Residually Dominated Groups in Henselian Valued Fields of Equicharacteristic Zero

Abstract

We introduce \emph{residually dominated groups} in pure henselian valued fields of equicharacteristic zero, as an analogue of stably dominated groups introduced by Hrushovski and Rideau-Kikuchi. We show that when GG is a residually dominated group, there is a finite-to-one group homomorphism from its connected component into a connected stably dominated group, and we study the functoriality and universality properties of this map. Moreover, we prove that residual domination is witnessed by a group homomorphism into a definable group in the residue field. In our proofs, we use the results of Montenegro, Onshuus, and Simon on groups definable in NTP2\mathrm{NTP}_2-theories that extend the theory of fields. Along the way, we also provide an algebraic characterization of residually dominated types, generalizing the work by Ealy, Haskell and Simon for stably dominated types in algebraically closed valued fields, and we study their properties.
