Weak regularity and one-parameter subgroups of definable $p$-adic Lie groups

Abstract

We prove that every group GG definable in the pure pp-adic field Qp\mathbb{Q}_p is weakly regular. We show that every one-parameter subgroup is definable. We also show that its one-parameter core GuG_u, together with a suitable regular open subgroup GΩG_\Omega, is definable. Finally, we show that if HH is a dfg component of GG, then Gu=(Hg)u:gGG_u=\langle(H^g)_u:g\in G\rangle. In fact, GuG_u is a finite product of the one-parameter cores of finitely many conjugates of HH. In particular, when GG is definably amenable, Gu=HuG_u=H_u.
