We survey some results on the structure of the groups which are definable in theories of fields involved in the applications of model theory to Diophantine geometry. We focus more particularly on separably closed fields of finite degree of…

By using the triangulated category of \'etale motives over a field $k$, for a smooth projective variety $X$ over $k$, we define the group $\text{CH}^\text{\'et}_0(X)$ as an \'etale analogue of 0-cycles. We study the properties of…

We show that the fundamental groupoid~\(\Pi_1(X)\) of a locally path connected semilocally simply connected space~\(X\) can be equipped with a \emph{natural} topology so that it becomes a topological groupoid; we also justify the necessity…

Let $k$ be a field, $K/k$ a field extension, $X$ a connected scheme proper over $k$, $x_K\in X_K(K)$ lying over $x\in X(k)$, $\mathcal{C}_X$ and $\mathcal{C}_{X_K}$ the Tannakian categories over $X$ and $X_K$ respectively,…

A unital $\ell$-group is an abelian group equipped with a translation invariant lattice-order and with a distinguished strong unit, i.e. an element whose positive integer multiples eventually dominate every element of $G$.If $X$ is a…

We study the notion of fundamental group in the framework of descent-exact homological categories. This setting is sufficiently wide to include several categories of "algebraic" nature such as the almost abelian categories, the semi-abelian…

Let $f:X\to Y$ be a surjective morphism of integral schemes. Then $X$ is said to be quasi-galois closed over $Y$ by $f$ if $X$ has a unique conjugate over $Y$ in an algebraically closed field. Such a notion has been applied to the…

The goal of this paper is to obtain restrictions on the prime to p quotient of the \'etale fundamental group of a smooth projective variety in characteristic $p\ge 0$. The results are analogues some theorems in the study of K\"ahler groups.…

Let $K$ be a $p$-adically closed field and $G$ a group interpretable in $K$. We show that if $G$ is definably semisimple (i.e. $G$ has no definable infinite normal abelian subgroups) then there exists a finite normal subgroup $H$ such that…

We define a notion of an arithmetic set in an arbitrary countable group and study properties of these sets in the cases of Abelian groups and non-abelian free groups.

We study the subgroup structure of the \'etale fundamental group $\Pi$ of a projective curve over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. We obtain an analog of the diamond theorem for $\Pi$. As a consequence we show that most…

We outline the recent classification of differential structures for all main classes of quantum groups. We also outline the algebraic notion of `quantum manifold' and `quantum Riemannian manifold' based on quantum group principal bundles, a…

In this note we generalize Nori's definition of the fundamental group scheme from a rational point to an arbitrary base point so that when we take $X$ to be a field $k$ and the point to be $k\subseteq \bar{k}$ we still get a non trivial…

This article provides a basic introduction to some concepts of non-commutative geometry. The importance of quantum groups and quantum spaces is stressed. Canonical non-commutativity is understood as an approximation to the quantum group…

We study groups definable in existentially closed geometric fields with commuting derivations. Our main result is that such a group can be definably embedded in a group interpretable in the underlying geometric field. Compared to earlier…

This submission replaces the arXiv:1012.5381 submission with the same title, which had been withdrawn as it contained a mistake, repaired in this submission: on $X$ projective smooth over an algebraically closed field of characteristic…

Let $X$ be a normal algebraic variety over a finitely generated field $k$ of characteristic zero, and let $\ell$ be a prime. Say that a continuous $\ell$-adic representation $\rho$ of $\pi_1^{\text{\'et}}(X_{\bar k})$ is arithmetic if there…

We define a homomorphism from (a certain extension of) the fundamental group of the Hamiltonian automorphism group of a symplectic manifold to the group of invertibles in its quantum cohomology ring. The manifold must satify a technical…

We reformulate several basic notions of notions in finite group theory in terms of iterations of the lifting property (orthogonality) with respect to particular morphisms. Our examples include the notions being nilpotent, solvable, perfect,…

This paper aims at developing model-theoretic tools to study interpretable fields and definably amenable groups, mainly in $\mathrm{NIP}$ or $\mathrm{NTP_2}$ settings. An abstract theorem constructing definable group homomorphisms from…
