Abstract

Let KK be a pp-adically closed field and GG a group interpretable in KK. We show that if GG is definably semisimple (i.e. GG has no definable infinite normal abelian subgroups) then there exists a finite normal subgroup HH such that G/HG/H is definably isomorphic to a KK-linear group. The result remains true in models of Th(Qpan)\mathrm{Th}(\mathbb{Q}_p^{an}).
