Frank Wagner's Baldwin–Saxl conjecture for type definable groups

From papers

Let TT be a dependent theory. A group GG is type definable if it is defined by a possibly infinite collection of formulas. Let p(x,y)p(x,y) be a type, and let aii<ω\langle a_i\mid i<\omega\rangle be an indiscernible sequence such that Gi=p(x,ai)GG_i=p(x,a_i)\leq G.

Frank Wagner's conjecture. There is some nn such that, for every finite set vωv\subseteq\omega, the intersection

ivGi\bigcap_{i\in v}G_i

is equal to a sub-intersection involving nn of the groups GiG_i.

This is the proposed extension of the Baldwin–Saxl chain condition from definable groups to type definable groups in dependent theories. The statement is presented as the main motivation for the open question of whether infinite type definable fields in dependent theories are Artin–Schreier closed; its resolution status is not specified in the source.
