We study the groups G which are interpretable in the disjoint union of two structures (seen as a two-sorted structure). We show that if one of the two structures is superstable of finite Lascar rank and the Lascar rank is definable, then G is an extension of a group internal to the (possibly) unstable sort by a definable subgroup internal to the stable sort. In the final part of the paper we show that if the unstable sort is an o-minimal expansion of the reals, then G has a natural Lie structure and the extension is a topological cover.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-04-04T14:41:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03C45", "03C64", "22E99" ], "keywords": [ "orthogonal sorts", "groups definable", "finite lascar rank", "unstable sort", "natural lie structure" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1304.1380B" } } }
