Abstract

Let M\mathcal M be a weakly o-minimal non-valuational structure, and N\mathcal N its canonical o-minimal extension (by Wencel). We prove that every group GG definable in M\mathcal M is a subgroup of a group KK definable in N\mathcal N, which is canonical in the sense that it is the smallest such group. As an application, we obtain that G00=GK00G^{00}= G\cap K^{00}, and establish Pillay's Conjecture in this setting: G/G00G/G^{00}, equipped with the logic topology, is a compact Lie group, and if GG has finitely satisfiable generics, then dimLie(G/G00)=dim(G)\dim_{Lie}(G/G^{00})= \dim(G).
