Definable quotients Definition For Γ ⊆ G , we say that G / Γ is definable (interpretable) if there exists a definable (interpretable) group G and a locally definable surjective homomorphism φ : G → G . Example � R , <, + , a � a large ordered, divisible, abelian group. Take G = � n ( − na , na ) , a locally definable subgroup. Γ = Z a ⊆ G . Then G / Γ is definable: There is a locally definable surjection φ : G → � [ − a , a ] , + mod a � . Y. Peterzil (University of Haifa) Definable quotients 5

M is an arbitrary κ -saturated structure. Fact For G a locally definable group, and Γ � G a small normal subgroup. The group G / Γ is definable (interpretable) in M iff there exists a definable X ⊆ G such that (i) G = Γ · X (ii) X ∩ Γ is finite. (The group Γ is “a lattice in G ” and the set X is a “fundamental set” ) . Proof IF : We assume G = Γ X . The set XX − 1 definable ⇒ XX − 1 ⊆ FX (for finite F ⊆ Γ ) ⇒ XX − 1 ∩ Γ ⊆ FX ∩ Γ = F ( X ∩ Γ) is finite. ⇒ ‘ x 1 Γ = x 2 Γ ′ is definable for x 1 , x 2 ∈ X . Similarly, the relation x 1 x 2 Γ = x 3 Γ is definable for x 1 , x 2 , x 3 ∈ X . ⇒ can define a group on X / Γ ( ∼ = G / Γ ). Y. Peterzil (University of Haifa) Definable quotients 6
