Onshuus–Pillay conjecture on definable groups in P-minimal structures

Let MM be a highly saturated PP-minimal structure over a pp-adic field KK, and let GG be an nn-dimensional definable group. Recall that G00G^{00} is the smallest type-definable subgroup of GG of small index, and that HH is compactly dominated by H/H00H/H^{00} when the quotient map satisfies the compact-domination condition with respect to normalized Haar measure. Onshuus–Pillay conjecture. There is an nn-dimensional definable open subgroup HGH\subseteq G such that

H/H00H/H^{00}

is isomorphic to an nn-dimensional Lie group over KK, and HH is compactly dominated by H/H00H/H^{00}. This conjecture concerns the PP-minimal analogue of Pillay's conjectures on o-minimal groups and combines a Lie-group conclusion with compact domination. The paper states that its main theorem technically resolves the conjecture, although the resulting subgroup may be much smaller than GG and the quotient may have a structure determined only by the dimension.
