We study definable J-sets for definable groups and compare them with weakly generic sets. We show that the property that J-sets coincide with weakly generic sets is invariant on enough saturated models, and hence a model-theoretical…

For a group $G$ definable in a first order structure $M$ we develop basic topological dynamics in the category of definable $G$-flows. In particular, we give a description of the universal definable $G$-ambit and of the semigroup operation…

We study projectivity in the category of $G$-flows and affine $G$-flows for Polish groups $G$. We also introduce the notion of \emph{proximally irreducible} extensions between affine $G$-flows. Using this we provide a characterization of…

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…

We consider definable topological dynamics for $NIP$ groups admitting certain decompositions in terms of specific classes of definably amenable groups. For such a group, we find a description of the Ellis group of its universal definable…

We continue the study of a class of topological $\mathcal{L}$-fields endowed with a generic derivation $\delta$, focussing on describing definable groups. We show that one can associate to an $\mathcal{L}_{\delta}$ definable group a type…

An action of a group $G$ on a compact space $X$ is called weakly almost periodic if the orbit of every continuous function on $X$ is weakly relatively compact in $C(X)$. We observe that for a topological group $G$ the following are…

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 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,…

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…

The aim of this paper is to develop the theory of groups definable in the $p$-adic field ${\mathbb Q}_p$, with ``definable $f$-generics" in the sense of an ambient saturated elementary extension of ${\mathbb Q}_p$. We call such groups…

We study idempotent measures and the structure of the convolution semigroups of measures over definable groups. We isolate the property of generic transitivity and demonstrate that it is sufficient (and necessary) to develop stable group…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated amenable group. We study the space of shifts on $G$ over a given finite alphabet $A$. We show that the zero entropy shifts are generic in this space, and that more generally the shifts of entropy $c$ are…

In this paper we study groups definable in existentially closed partial differential fields of characteristic 0 with an automorphism which commutes with the derivations. In particular, we study Zariski dense definable subgroups of simple…

In topological dynamics, the dynamical behavior sometimes has a sharp contrast when the action is by semigroups or monoids to when the action is by groups. In this article we bring out this contrast while discussing the equivalence of…

We show that if $G$ is an amenable group and $A\subseteq G$ has positive upper Banach density, then there is an identity neighborhood $B$ in the Bohr topology on $G$ that is almost contained in $AA^{-1}$ in the sense that $B\backslash…
