The Lascar groups and the 1st homology groups in model theory
Let be a strong type of an algebraically closed tuple over
B=\acl^{\eq}(B) in any theory . Depending on a ternary relation \indo^*
satisfying some basic axioms (there is at least one such, namely the trivial
independence in ), the first homology group can be introduced,
similarly to \cite{GKK1}. We show that there is a canonical surjective
homomorphism from the Lascar group over to . We also notice that
the map factors naturally via a surjection from the `relativised' Lascar group
of the type (which we define in analogy with the Lascar group of the theory)
onto the homology group, and we give an explicit description of its kernel. Due
to this characterization, it follows that the first homology group of is
independent from the choice of \indo^*, and can be written simply as
. As consequences, in any , we show that
unless is trivial, and we give a criterion for the equality of stp and
Lstp of algebraically closed tuples using the notions of the first homology
group and a relativised Lascar group. We also argue how any abelian connected
compact group can appear as the first homology group of the type of a model.Comment: 30 pages, no figures, this merged with the article arXiv:1504.0772
