The NIP conjecture for omega-categorical groups

At least 15 years old · documented by

Let GG be a group whose first-order theory is NIP, and suppose that GG is ω\omega-categorical, meaning that its theory has at most one countable model up to isomorphism. A group is nilpotent-by-finite if it has a nilpotent normal subgroup of finite index.

NIP conjecture for omega-categorical groups. Every ω\omega-categorical group with NIP is nilpotent-by-finite.

This would extend the known result that omega-categorical stable groups are nilpotent-by-finite. The conjecture concerns the broader NIP setting and is presented as an open problem.
