Abstract: By recent work on some conjectures of Pillay, each definably compact group G in a saturated o-minimal expansion of an ordered field has a normal ``infinitesimal subgroup G00 such that the quotient G/G00, equipped with the ``logic topology, is a compact (real) Lie group. Our first result is that the functor GmapstoG/G00 sends exact sequences of definably compact groups into exacts sequences of Lie groups. We then study the connections between the Lie group G/G00 and the o-minimal spectrum widetildeG of G. We prove that G/G00 is a topological quotient of widetildeG. We thus obtain a natural homomorphism Psi from the cohomology of G/G00 to the (v{C}ech-)cohomology of widetildeG. We show that if G00 satisfies a suitable contractibility conjecture then widetildeG00 is acyclic in v{C}ech cohomology and Psi is an isomorphism. Finally we prove the conjecture in some special cases.
