## Abstract Suppose __G__ is a definably connected, definable group in an o‐minimal expansion of an ordered group. We show that the o‐minimal universal covering homomorphism $ \tilde p $: $ \tilde G $→ __G__ is a locally definable covering homomorphism and __π__~1~(__G__) is isomorphic to the o‐min

✦ Synopsis
Let R be an o-minimal expansion of an ordered group (R; 0; 1; +; ¡) with distinguished positive element 1: We ÿrst prove that the following are equivalent: (1) R is semi-bounded, (2) R has no poles, (3) R cannot deÿne a real closed ÿeld with domain R and order ¡, (4) R is eventually linear and (5) every R-deÿnable set is a ÿnite union of cones. As a corollary we get that Th(R) has quantiÿer elimination and universal axiomatization in the language with symbols for the ordered group operations, bounded R-deÿnable sets and a symbol for each deÿnable endomorphism of the group (R; 0;

## Abstract We prove a definable analogue to Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem for o‐minimal structures of real closed field expansions: A continuous definable function mapping from the unit simplex into itself admits a fixed point, even though the underlying space is not necessarily topologically comp
We study subgroups G of GL n, R definable in o-minimal expansions M s Ž . Ž. R, q, и , . . . of a real closed field R. We prove several results such as: a G can be defined using just the field structure on R together with, if necessary, power Ž . functions, or an exponential function definable in M.
