Topological groups, \mu-types and their stabilizers

We consider an arbitrary topological group $G$ definable in a structure $\mathcal M$, such that some basis for the topology of $G$ consists of sets definable in $\mathcal M$. To each such group $G$ we associate a compact $G$-space of partial types $S^\mu_G(M)=\{p_\mu:p\in S_G(M)\}$ which is the quotient of the usual type space $S_G(M)$ by the relation of two types being "infinitesimally close to each other". In the o-minimal setting, if $p$ is a definable type then it has a corresponding definable subgroup $Stab_\mu(p)$, which is the stabilizer of $p_\mu$. This group is nontrivial when $p$ is unbounded in the sense of $\mathcal M$; in fact it is a torsion-free solvable group. Along the way, we analyze the general construction of $S^\mu_G(M)$ and its connection to the Samuel compactification of topological groups.
