A topological group $G$ is {\em extremely amenable} if every compact $G$-space has a $G$-fixed point. Let $X$ be compact and $G\subset{\mathrm{Homeo}} (X)$. We prove that the following are equivalent: (1) $G$ is extremely amenable; (2)…

The rank rk(G) of a profinite group G is the supremum of d(H), where H ranges over all closed subgroups of G and d(H) denotes the minimal cardinality of a topological generating set for H. A compact topological group G admits the structure…

In this work we study some examples of groups definable and type-definable in NSOP1 theories. We exhibit some behaviors of these groups that differ from the ones of simple groups. We take interest in the notions of generics and stabilizers,…

We work over an o-minimal expansion of a real closed field. The o-minimal homotopy groups of a definable set are defined naturally using definable continuous maps. We prove that any two semialgebraic maps which are definably homotopic are…

Let N be an o-minimal expansion of a real closed field. We develop cohomology theory for the category of N-definable manifolds and N-definable maps, and use this to solve the Peterzil-Steinhorn problem on the existence of torsion points on…

We discuss the Bohr compactification of a pseudofinite group, motivated by a question of Boris Zilber. Basically referring to results in the literature we point out (i) the Bohr compactification of an ultraproduct of finite simple groups is…

We study the notion of dp-minimality, beginning by providing several essential facts, establishing several equivalent definitions, and comparing dp-minimality to other minimality notions. The rest of the paper is dedicated to examples. We…

We are concerned with topology of Hensel minimal structures on non-trivially valued fields $K$, whose axiomatic theory was introduced in a recent paper by Cluckers-Halupczok-Rideau. We additionally require that every definable subset in the…

Let $k$ be a nonperfect separably closed field. Let $G$ be a (possibly non-connected) reductive group defined over $k$. We study rationality problems for Serre's notion of complete reducibility of subgroups of $G$. In our previous work, we…

Let $H$ be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, $B(H)$ the $C^*$-algebra of all bounded linear operators on $H,$ $U(B(H))$ the unitary group of $B(H)$ and ${\cal K}\subset B(H)$ the ideal of compact operators. Let $G$ be a…

In this article, we introduce an interesting topology-like concept concerning groups (and with almost the same method it can be defined for other algebraic systems). Given an arbitrary group $G$, we define a {\em topo-system} on $G$ as a…

A subgroup $A$ of a finite group $G$ is said to be a $CAP$-subgroup of $G$, if for any chief factor $H/K$ of $G$, either $A H= AK$ or $A\cap H = A \cap K$. Let $p$ be a prime, $S$ be a $p$-group and $\mathcal{F}$ be a saturated fusion…

We revisit Kolchin's results on definability of differential Galois groups of strongly normal extensions, in the case where the field of constants is not necessarily algebraically closed. In certain classes of differential topological…

Let $G$ be a connected, absolutely almost simple, algebraic group defined over a finitely generated, infinite field $K$, and let $\Gamma$ be a Zariski dense subgroup of $G(K)$. We show, apart from some few exceptions, that the…

We prove Zilber's Trichotomy Conjecture for strongly minimal expansions of two-dimensional groups, definable in o-minimal structures: Theorem. Let M be an o-minimal expansion of a real closed field, (G;+) a 2-dimensional group definable in…

Any simple pseudofinite group G is known to be isomorphic to a (twisted) Chevalley group over a pseudofinite field. This celebrated result mostly follows from the work of Wilson in 1995 and heavily relies on the classification of finite…

In this paper, we show that VC-minimal ordered fields are real closed. We introduce a notion, strictly between convexly orderable and dp-minimal, that we call dp-small, and show that this is enough to characterize many algebraic theories.…

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a connected reductive almost simple group over the Witt ring $W(\mathbb{F})$ for $\mathbb{F}$ a finite field of characteristic $p$. Let $R$ and $R'$ be complete noetherian local $W(\mathbb{F})$ -algebras with residue…

Let p be a prime. We classify finitely generated pro-p groups G which satisfy d(H) = d(G) for all open subgroups H of G. Here d(H) denotes the minimal number of topological generators for the subgroup H. Within the category of p-adic…

Let $G$ be the automorphism group of an extension $F|k$ of algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero and of transcendence degree $n$, $1\le n\le\infty$. In this paper we (i) construct some maximal closed non-open subgroups $G_v$,…
