The topology of definable sets in an o-minimal expansion of a group is not fully understood due to the lack of a triangulation theorem. Despite the general validity of the cell decomposition theorem, we do not know whether any definably compact set is a definable CW-complex. Moreover the closure of an o-minimal cell can have arbitrarily high Betti numbers. Nevertheless we prove that the cohomology groups of a definably compact set over an o-minimal expansion of a group are finitely generated and invariant under elementary extensions and expansions of the language.

AbstractWe prove that forp-optimal fields (a very large subclass ofp-minimal fields containing all the known examples) a cell decomposition theorem follows from methods going back to Denef’s paper [7]. We derive from it the existence of definable Skolem functions and strongp-minimality. Then we turn to stronglyp-minimal fields satisfying the Extreme Value Property—a property which in particular holds in fields which are elementarily equivalent to ap-adic one. For such fieldsK, we prove that every definable subset ofK×Kdwhose fibers overKare inverse images by the valuation of subsets of the value group is semialgebraic. Combining the two we get a preparation theorem for definable functions onp-optimal fields satisfying the Extreme Value Property, from which it follows that infinite sets definable over such fields are in definable bijection iff they have the same dimension.

AbstractWe prove a cell decomposition theorem for Presburger sets and introduce a dimension theory for Z-groups with the Presburger structure. Using the cell decomposition theorem we obtain a full classification of Presburger sets up to definable bijection. We also exhibit a tight connection between the definable sets in an arbitrary p-minimal field and Presburger sets in its value group. We give a negative result about expansions of Presburger structures and prove uniform elimination of imaginaries for Presburger structures within the Presburger language.

We introduce a new notion of tame geometry for structures admitting an abstract notion of balls. The notion is named b-minimality and is based on definable families of points and balls. We develop a dimension theory and prove a cell decomposition theorem for b-minimal structures. We show that b-minimality applies to the theory of Henselian valued fields of characteristic zero, generalizing work by Denef–Pas [25, 26]. Structures which are o-minimal, v-minimal, or p-minimal and which satisfy some slight extra conditions are also b-minimal, but b-minimality leaves more room for nontrivial expansions. The b-minimal setting is intended to be a natural framework for the construction of Euler characteristics and motivic or p-adic integrals. The b-minimal cell decomposition is a generalization of concepts of Cohen [11], Denef [15], and the link between cell decomposition and integration was first made by Denef [13].

If (Y, µ) is an H-Space (here all our spaces are assumed to be finitely generated) with homotopy associative multiplication µ. and X is a finite CW complex then [X, Y] has the structure of a nilpotent group. Using this and the relationship between the localizations of nilpotent groups and topological spaces one can demonstrate various properties of [X,Y] (see [1], [2], [6] for example). If µ is not homotopy associative then [X, Y] has the structure of a nilpotent loop [7], [9]. However this algebraic structure is not rich enough to reflect certain significant properties of [X, Y]. Indeed, we will show that there is no theory of localization for nilpotent loops which will correspond to topological localization or will restrict to the localization of nilpotent groups.

Given a group [Formula: see text] with bounded torsion that acts properly on a systolic complex, we show that every solvable subgroup of [Formula: see text] is finitely generated and virtually abelian of rank at most [Formula: see text]. In particular, this gives a new proof of the above theorem for systolic groups. The main tools used in the proof are the Product Decomposition Theorem and the Flat Torus Theorem.

We show that the first L2-betti number of a finitely generated residually finite group can be estimated from below by using ordinary first betti numbers of finite index normal subgroups. As an application, we construct a finitely generated infinite residually finite torsion group with positive first L2-betti number.

We extend Auslander and Buchsbaum's Euler characteristic from the category of finitely generated modules of finite projective dimension to the category of modules of finite G-dimension using Avramov and Martsinkovsky's notion of relative Betti numbers. We prove analogues of some properties of the classical invariant and provide examples showing that other properties do not translate to the new context. One unexpected property is in the characterization of the extremal behavior of this invariant: the vanishing of the Euler characteristic of a module $M$ of finite G-dimension implies the finiteness of the projective dimension of $M$. We include two applications of the Euler characteristic as well as several explicit calculations.

Let Π be a finite group and denote by MΠ the class of finitely generated Z-free ZΠ-modules. In [2] we defined a certain equivalence relation on MΠ and constructed the abelian semigroup T(Π), which was studied in [3] (see [1] and [5], too).

In this paper we treat cohomology groups H1(G, C2q-1, M) of meromorphic Eichler integrals for a finitely generated Fuchsian group G of the first kind. According to L. V. Ahlfors [2] and L. Bers [4], H1(G, C2q-1, M) is the space of periods of meromorphic Eichler integrals for G. In the previous paper [8], we had period relations and inequalities of holomorphic Eichler integrals for a certain Kleinian groups.

AbstractWe show that every compactum has cohomological dimension 1 with respect to a finitely generated nilpotent group G whenever it has cohomological dimension 1 with respect to the abelianization of G. This is applied to the extension theory to obtain a cohomological dimension theory condition for a finite-dimensional compactum X for extendability of every map from a closed subset of X into a nilpotent CW-complex M with finitely generated homotopy groups over all of X.
