Let be a group definable in an o-minimal structure . A subset of is -definable if is definable in the structure (while definable means definable in the structure ). Assume has no -definable proper subgroup of finite index. In this paper we prove that if has no nontrivial abelian normal subgroup, then is the direct product of -definable subgroups such that each is definably isomorphic to a semialgebraic linear group over a definable real closed field. As a corollary we obtain an o-minimal analogue of Cherlin's conjecture.

Genus zero Willmore surfaces immersed in the three-sphere correspond via the stereographic projection to minimal surfaces in Euclidean three-space with finite total curvature and embedded planar ends. The critical values of the Willmore functional are , where , with . When the ambient space is the four-sphere , the regular homotopy class of immersions of the two-sphere is determined by the self-intersection number ; here we shall prove that the possible critical values are , where . Moreover, if , the corresponding immersion, or its antipodal, is obtained, via the twistor Penrose fibration , from a rational curve in and, if , via stereographic projection, from a minimal surface in with finite total curvature and embedded planar ends. An immersion lies in both families when the rational curve is contained in some or (equivalently) when the minimal surface of is complex with respect to a suitable complex structure of .

The Truncated Complex -Moment Problem for entails determining whether there exists a positive Borel measure on such that ( ) and . For a semi-algebraic set determined by a collection of complex polynomials , we characterize the existence of a finitely atomic representing measure with the fewest possible atoms in terms of positivity and extension properties of the moment matrix and the localizing matrices . We prove that there exists a -atomic representing measure for supported in if and only if and there is some rank-preserving extension for which , where or .

An exact sequence involving either of these groups is obtained, which is a variation of the exact sequence due to G.I. Kac. If , there follows a bijection between the set of all cleft Hopf algebra extensions of by and the set of all Lie bialgebra extensions of by .

Subamalgam -suborders of a tiled -order are studied in the paper by means of the integral Tits quadratic form . A criterion for a subamalgam -order to be of tame lattice type is given in terms of the Tits quadratic form and a forbidden list of minor -suborders of presented in the tables.

This allows us to define generalized translation operators and to develop harmonic analysis associated with . By use of the Riemann method, we provide an integral representation and we deduce more precise information on these operators.
For each irrational number , with continued fraction expansion , we classify, up to translation, the one dimensional almost periodic tilings which can be constructed by the projection method starting with a line of slope . The invariant is a sequence of integers in the space and whenever modulo the equivalence relation generated by tail equivalence and . Each tile in a tiling , of slope , is coded by an integer . Using a composition operation, we produce a sequence of tilings . Each tile in gets absorbed into a tile in . A choice of a starting tile in will thus produce a sequence in . This is the invariant.

However, the situations differ widely with and , and the interesting cases occur either at the critical Sobolev exponent () or in the Hardy-critical setting () or in the more general Hardy-Sobolev setting when . In these cases some compactness can be restored by establishing Palais-Smale type conditions around appropriately chosen dual sets. Many of the results are new even in the case , especially those corresponding to singularities (i.e., when .
