This paper began as a generalization of a part of the author's PhD thesis about ACFA and ended up with a characterization of groups definable in T_A. The thesis concerns minimal formulae in ACFA of the form "p lies on an algebraic curve A…

We prove several theorems relating amenability of groups in various categories (discrete, definable, topological, automorphism group) to model-theoretic invariants (quotients by connected components, Lascar Galois group, G-compactness,…

Assume $G$ is a definable group in a stable structure $M$. Newelski showed that the semigroup $S_G(M)$ of complete types concentrated on $G$ is an inverse limit of the $\infty$-definable (in $M^{eq}$) semigroups $S_{G,\Delta}(M)$. He also…

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…

Let $G$ be a compact $p$-adic analytic group. We recall the well-understood finite radical $\Delta^+$ and FC-centre $\Delta$, and introduce a $p$-adic analogue of Roseblade's subgroup $\mathrm{nio}(G)$, the unique largest orbitally sound…

We show that for algebraic groups over local fields of characteristic zero, the following are equivalent: Every homomorphism has a closed image, every unitary representation decomposes into a direct sum of finite-dimensional and mixing…

Let $G$ be a $p$-adic group which splits over an unramified extension and $Rep_{\Lambda}^{0}(G)$ the abelian category of smooth level $0$ representations of $G$ with coefficients in $\Lambda=\overline{\mathbb{Q}}_{\ell}$ or…

Let $G$ be a $p$-adic group that splits over an unramified extension. We decompose $Rep_{\Lambda}^{0}(G)$, the abelian category of smooth level $0$ representations of $G$ with coefficients in $\Lambda=\overline{\mathbb{Q}}_{\ell}$ or…

The notion of a proper Ellis semigroup compactification is introduced. Ellis's functional approach shows how to obtain them from totally bounded equiuniformities on a phase space $X$ when the acting group $G$ is with the topology of…

The aim of this paper is to describe all definable subgroups of SL2(K), for K a p-adically closed field. We begin by giving some "frame subgroups" which contain all nilpotent or solvable subgroups of SL2(K). A complete description is givien…

In this paper we study the dynamics of Bernoulli flows and their subflows over general countable groups from the symbolic and topological perspectives. We study free subflows (subflows in which every point has trivial stabilizer), minimal…

We investigate generalizations along the lines of the Mordell--Lang conjecture of the author's $p$-adic formal Manin--Mumford results for $n$-dimensional $p$-divisible formal groups $\mathcal{F}$. In particular, given a finitely generated…

It is known that a group G definable in the field of p-adic numbers is definably locally isomorphic to the group of Q_p-points of a connected algebraic group H defined over Q_p. We show that if H is commutative then G is…

The algebraic entropy h, defined for endomorphisms f of abelian groups G, measures the growth of the trajectories of non-empty finite subsets F of G with respect to f. We show that this growth can be either polynomial or exponential. The…

Consider the pair $(G,P)$ consisting of an abelian lattice-ordered discrete group $G$ and its positive cone $P$. Let $\alpha$ be an action of $P$ by extendible endomorphisms of a $C^*$-algebra $A$. We show that the Nica-Toeplitz algebra…

Our aim is to find some new links between linear (circular) orderability of groups and topological dynamics. We suggest natural analogs of the concept of algebraic orderability for topological groups involving order-preserving actions on…

We consider $G$, a linear group defined over $k$, an algebraically closed field. By considering $k$ as an embedded residue field of an algebraically closed valued field $K$, we can associate to it a compact $G$-space $S^\mu_G(k)$,…

It is a Theorem of W.~ W. Comfort and K.~ A. Ross that if $G$ is a subgroup of a compact Abelian group, and $S$ denotes those continuous homomorphisms from $G$ to the one-dimensional torus, then the topology on $G$ is the initial topology…

Every topological group $G$ has up to isomorphism a unique minimal $G$-flow that maps onto every minimal $G$-flow, the universal minimal flow $M(G).$ We show that if $G$ has a compact normal subgroup $K$ that acts freely on $M(G)$ and there…

We consider a short exact sequence $1\to H\to G\to K\to 1$ of Polish groups and consider what can be deduced about the dynamics of $G$ given information about the dynamics of $H$ and $K$. We prove that if the respective universal minimal…
