Berarducci–Peterzil–Pillay's interpretability conjecture for finite central extensions
Berarducci–Peterzil–Pillay's interpretability conjecture for finite central extensions
Let be a definably connected definable group in an o-minimal structure , and let be a finite central subgroup. Write for the definable second cohomology group and for the abstract second cohomology group. The natural inclusion
is defined by viewing definable extensions as abstract extensions.
Berarducci–Peterzil–Pillay's conjecture. The natural inclusion
is an isomorphism.
This is the cohomological reformulation of the conjecture that every abstract finite central extension of a definably connected definable group is naturally interpretable in the o-minimal structure. It is known for abelian groups and, by the theorem stated in the paper, for definably connected solvable definable groups; the general case remains open.
