FINITE EXTENSIONS OF MINIMAL TRANSFORMATION GROUPS ( i )
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we shall study homomorphisms p: W — Y on minimal transformation groups. We shall prove, in the case that W and Y are metrizable, that W is a finite (iV-to-1) extension of Y if and only if W is an Nfold covering space of Y and pisa covering map. This result places no further restrictions on the acting group. We shall then use this characterization to investigate the question of lifting an equicontinuous structure from Y to W. We show that, under very weak restrictions on the acting group, this lifting is always possible when If is a finite extension of Y.

On Central Extensions and Definably Compact Groups in O-minimal Structures
We prove several structural results on definably compact groups G in o-minimal expansions of real closed fields such as (i) G is definably an almost direct product of a semisimple group and a commutative group, (ii) (G, ·) is elementarily equivalent to (G/G, ·). We also prove results on the internality of finite covers of G in an o-minimal environment, as well as deducing the full compact domin...
متن کاملBrandt extensions and primitive topologically periodic inverse topological semigroups
In this paper we find sufficient conditions on primitive inverse topological semigroup S under which: the inversion inv : (H(S)) (H(S)) is continuous; we show that every topologically periodic countable compact primitive inverse topological semigroups with closed H-classes is topologically isomorphic to an orthogonal sum P i2= Bi (Gi) of topological Brandt extensions Bi (Gi) of countably compac...
متن کاملExtensions of Cantor Minimal Systems and Dimension Groups
Given a factor map p : (X, T )→ (Y, S) of Cantor minimal systems, we study the relations between the dimension groups of the two systems. First, we interpret the torsion subgroup of the quotient of the dimension groups K0(X)/K0(Y ) in terms of intermediate extensions which are extensions of (Y, S) by a compact abelian group. Then we show that, by contrast, the existence of an intermediate non-a...
متن کاملInvariance results for definable extensions of groups
We show that in an o-minimal expansion of an ordered group finite definable extensions of a definable group which is defined in a reduct are already defined in the reduct. A similar result is proved for finite topological extensions of definable groups defined in o-minimal expansions of the ordered set of real numbers. ∗With partial support from the FCT (Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia) pr...
متن کاملRecent results on syntactic groups of codes
Finite permutation groups can be considered as building blocks of finite transformation monoids. Indeed, by the Krohn-Rhodes Theorem, any finite transformation monoid divides a semidirect product of permutation groups and three element transformation monoids. Given a transformation monoid M on a finite set, defined by a finite set of generators, it is in general non-trivial to obtain a descript...
