Pillay–Yao conjecture on almost periodicity of global f-generic types
Pillay–Yao conjecture on almost periodicity of global f-generic types
Let be a group definable in a NIP structure. Say that is dfg if it has a definable global f-generic type, and call a global f-generic type almost periodic when its orbit under lies in a minimal closed invariant subset of the relevant type space. Pillay–Yao conjecture. If is a dfg group definable in a NIP structure, then every global f-generic type of is almost periodic.
The conjecture concerns the relationship between definability and dynamical behavior of generic types in NIP structures. The paper proves it in the -adic setting using its structure theorem for dfg groups and a result on trigonalizable groups, while the stated general NIP version is not resolved here.
