Contractible definable neighborhood basis for the infinitesimal subgroup

Let GG be a definably compact group, let M0M_0 be the parameter structure over which GG is defined, and let G00G^{00} denote the infinitesimal subgroup. Contractibility conjecture. There is a decreasing sequence of M0M_0-definable, definably contractible open subsets XiGX_i\subseteq G such that

G00=iNXi,G^{00}=\bigcap_{i\in\operatorname{\mathbb N}}X_i,

with

X0X1X2.X_0\supset X_1\supset X_2\supset\cdots.

Such a sequence would provide a contractible definable neighborhood basis for G00G^{00} and is used in the source's discussion of contractibility and the resulting cohomological consequences.
