Semisimple groups interpretable in various valued fields

Abstract

We study infinite groups interpretable in power bounded TT-convex, VV-minimal or pp-adically closed fields. We show that if GG is an interpretable definably semisimple group (i.e., has no definable infinite normal abelian subgroups) then, up to a finite index subgroup, it is definably isogenous to a group G1×G2G_1\times G_2, where G1G_1 is a KK-linear group and G2G_2 is a k\mathbf{k}-linear group. The analysis is carried out by studying the interaction of GG with four distinguished sorts: the valued field KK, the residue field k\mathbf{k}, the value group Γ\Gamma, and the closed 00-balls K/OK/\mathcal{O}.
