ABELIAN GROUPS DEFINABLE IN p-ADICALLY CLOSED FIELDS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 July 2023
Abstract
Recall that a group G has finitely satisfiable generics (fsg) or definable f-generics (dfg) if there is a global type p on G and a small model $M_0$ such that every left translate of p is finitely satisfiable in
$M_0$ or definable over
$M_0$, respectively. We show that any abelian group definable in a p-adically closed field is an extension of a definably compact fsg definable group by a dfg definable group. We discuss an approach which might prove a similar statement for interpretable abelian groups. In the case where G is an abelian group definable in the standard model
$\mathbb {Q}_p$, we show that
$G^0 = G^{00}$, and that G is an open subgroup of an algebraic group, up to finite factors. This latter result can be seen as a rough classification of abelian definable groups in
$\mathbb {Q}_p$.
