Abstract

We study the definable topological dynamics (G,SG(M))(G,S_G(M)) of a definable group acting on its type space, where MM is a structure and GG is a group definable in MM. In \cite{Newelski-I}, Newelski raised a question of whether weakly generic types coincide with almost periodic types in definable topological dynamics. In \cite{YZ-Sta}, we introduced the notion of stationarity, showing the answer is positive when GG is a stationary definably amenable group definable over the field of pp-adic numbers or an oo-minimal expansion of real closed field. In this paper, we continue with the work of \cite{YZ-Sta}, focusing on the case where GG is a commutative group definable over the field of pp-adic numbers, and showing that weakly generic types coincide with almost periodic types if and only if either GG has definable ff-generics or GG is stationary.
