Logic 2017-05-04 v3 Group Theory

Abstract

The Fitting subgroup of a type-definable group in a simple theory is relatively definable and nilpotent. Moreover, the Fitting subgroup of a supersimple hyperdefinable group has a normal hyperdefinable nilpotent subgroup of bounded index, and is itself of bounded index in a hyperdefinable subgroup.
