THE EMBEDDING PROPERTY FOR SORTED PROFINITE GROUPS

From MaRDI portal
Publication:6095970



Abstract: We study the embedding property in the category of sorted profinite groups. We introduce a notion of the sorted embedding property (SEP), analogous to the embedding property for profinite groups. We show that any sorted profinite group has a universal SEP-cover. Our proof gives an alternative proof for the existence of a universal embedding cover of a profinite group. Also our proof works for any full subcategory of the sorted profinite groups, which is closed under taking finite quotients, fibre product, and inverse limit. We also introduce a weaker notion of finitely sorted embedding property (FSEP), and it turns out to be equivalent to SEP. The advantage of FSEP is to be able to be axiomatized in the first order language of sorted complete systems. Using this, we show that any sorted profinite group having SEP has the sorted complete system whose theory is omega-stable under the assumption that the set of sorts is countable. In this case, as a byproduct, we get the uniqueness of a universal SEP-cover of a sorted profinite group, which generalizes the uniqueness of an embedding cover of a profinite group.
