In this paper, we show that there is a net for amenable transformation groups like F{\o}lner net for amenable groups and investigate amenability of a transformation group constructed by semidirect product of groups. We introduce inner…

We give a proof of the existence of generalized definable locally compact models for arbitrary approximate subgroups via an application of topological dynamics in model theory. Our construction is simpler and shorter than the original one…

We introduce an Ulam-type stability condition for positive definite maps defined on a countable group and prove that this condition characterizes amenability.

The main goal of the paper is to present a general model theoretic framework to understand a result of Shalev on probabilistically finite nilpotent groups. We prove that a suitable group where the equation $[x_1,\ldots,x_k]=1$ holds on a…

We prove that in a continuous $\aleph_0$-stable theory every type-definable group is definable. The two main ingredients in the proof are: \begin{enumerate} \item Results concerning Morley ranks (i.e., Cantor-Bendixson ranks) from…

Let $X$ be a definable group definable over a small model $M_0$. Recall that a global type $p$ on $X$ is definable $f$-generic over $M_0$ if every left translate of $p$ is definable over $M_0$. We call $p$ strongly $f$-generic over $M_0$ if…

Let $T$ be a complete, model-complete, geometric dp-minimal $\mathcal{L}$-theory of topological fields of characteristic $0$ and let $T(\partial)$ be the theory of expansions of models of $T$ by a derivation $\partial$. We assume that…

We state conditions for which a definable local homomorphism between two locally definable groups $\mathcal{G}$, $\mathcal{G^{\prime}}$ can be uniquely extended when $\mathcal{G}$ is simply connected (Theorem 2.1). As an application of this…

We discuss definable compactifications and topological dynamics. For G a group definable in some structure M, we define notions of "definable" compactification of G and "definable" action of G on a compact space X (definable G-flow), where…

We determine the structure of solvable Lie groups endowed with invariant stretched non-positive Weyl connections and find classes of solvable Lie groups admitting and not admitting such connections. In dimension 4 we fully classify solvable…

We propose new structures called almost o-minimal structures and $\mathfrak X$-structures. The former is a first-order expansion of a dense linear order without endpoints such that the intersection of a definable set with a bounded open…

We show that amenability of a group acting by homeomorphisms can be deduced from a certain local property of the action and recurrency of the orbital Schreier graphs. This covers amenability of a wide class groups, the amenability of which…

A theorem of Elekes and Szab\'{o} recognizes algebraic groups among certain complex algebraic varieties with maximal size intersections with finite grids. We establish a generalization to relations of any arity and dimension, definable in:…

We consider interpretable topological spaces and topological groups in a $p$-adically closed field $K$. We identify a special class of "admissible topologies" with topological tameness properties like generic continuity, similar to the…

We prove that in an arbitrary o-minimal structure, every interpretable group is definably isomorphic to a definable one. We also prove that every definable group lives in a cartesian product of one-dimensional definable group-intervals (or…

The purpose of this article is to connect the notion of the amenability of a discrete group with a new form of structural Ramsey theory. The Ramsey theoretic reformulation of amenability constitutes a considerable weakening of the Folner…
