Definable groups in models of Presburger arithmetic. (English) Zbl 1481.03025

Summary: This paper is devoted to understand groups definable in Presburger Arithmetic. We prove the following theorems:
Theorem 1. Every group definable in a model of Presburger Arithmetic is abelian-by-finite.
Theorem 2. Every bounded abelian group definable in a model \((\mathbb{Z}, +, <)\) of Presburger Arithmetic is definably isomorphic to \((\mathbb{Z},+)^n\) mod out by a lattice.
