Abstract:
A group
$G$ is said to be rigid if it contains a normal series
$$
G=G_1>G_2>\dots>G_m>G_{m+1}=1,
$$
whose quotients
$G_i/G_{i+1}$ are Abelian and, treated as right
$\mathbb{Z}[G/G_i]$-modules, are torsion-free. A rigid group
$G$ is divisible if elements of the quotient
$G_i/G_{i+1}$ are divisible by nonzero elements of the ring
$\mathbb{Z}[G/G_i]$. Every rigid group is embedded in a divisible one.
THEOREM. Let
$G$ be a divisible rigid group. Then the coincedence of
$\exists$-types of same-length tuples of elements of the group
$G$ implies that these tuples are conjugate via an authomorphism of
$G$.
As corollaries we state that divisible rigid groups are strongly
$\aleph_0$-homogeneous and that the theory of divisible
$m$-rigid groups admits quantifier elimination down to a Boolean combination of
$\exists$-formulas.
Keywords:
rigid group, divisible group, strongly ℵ<sub>0</sub>-homogeneous group, quantifier elimination.
