Definable topological dynamics for trigonalizable algebraic groups over \(\mathbb{Q}_P\). (English) Zbl 1521.03092

Summary: We study the flow \((G(\mathbb{Q}_p),S_G(\mathbb{Q}_p))\) of trigonalizable algebraic group acting on its type space, focusing on the problem raised in [A. Pillay and the author, Adv. Math. 290, 483–502 (2016; Zbl 1386.03042)] of whether weakly generic types coincide with almost periodic types if the group has global definable f-generic types, equivalently whether the union of minimal subflows of a suitable type space is closed. We shall give a description of f-generic types of trigonalizable algebraic groups, and prove that every f-generic type is almost periodic.
