Abstract

Let M be an o-minimal expansion of an ordered field. Let φ be a formula in the language of ordered domains. In this note we establish some topological properties which are transferred from φM to φR and vice versa. Then, we apply these transfer results to give a new proof of a result of M. Edmundo—based on the work of A. Strzebonski—showing the existence of torsion points in any definably compact group defined in an o-minimal expansion of an ordered field.
