Abstract

We prove structure theorems for o-minimal definable subsets SGS\subset G of definable groups containing large multiplicative structures, and show definable groups do not have bounded torsion arbitrarily close to the identity. As an application, for certain models of nn-step random walks XX in GG we show upper bounds P(XS)nC\mathbb{P}(X\in S)\le n^{-C} and a structure theorem for the steps of XX when P(XS)nC\mathbb{P}(X\in S)\ge n^{-C'}.
