Definable-envelope conjecture for nilpotent and soluble subgroups of NTP2 groups
Definable-envelope conjecture for nilpotent and soluble subgroups of NTP2 groups
Let be an group and let be a subgroup of .
Definable-envelope conjecture. If is nilpotent (respectively, soluble), then there is a definable nilpotent (respectively, soluble) group finitely many of whose translates cover . If is additionally normal, then there is a definable normal nilpotent (respectively, soluble) group containing .
This conjecture seeks an analogue of definable-envelope results known for groups in and simple theories. The source presents it as a natural direction for further research, without resolving it.
