Abstract

We prove generic differentiability in PP-minimal theories, strengthening an earlier result of Kuijpers and Leenknegt. Using this, we prove Onshuus and Pillay's PP-minimal analogue of Pillay's conjectures on o-minimal groups. Specifically, let GG be an nn-dimensional definable group in a highly saturated model MM of a PP-minimal theory. Then there is an open definable subgroup HGH \subseteq G such that HH is compactly dominated by H/H00H/H^{00}, and H/H00H/H^{00} is a pp-adic Lie group of the expected dimension. Additionally, the generic differentiability theorem immediately implies a classification of interpretable fields in PP-minimal theories, by work of Halevi, Hasson, and Peterzil.
