On groups and fields definable in 1-h-minimal fields

Abstract

We show that an infinite group $G$ definable in a $1$-h-minimal field admits a strictly $K$-differentiable structure with respect to which $G$ is a (weak) Lie group, and show that definable local subgroups sharing the same Lie algebra have the same germ at the identity. We conclude that infinite fields definable in $K$ are definably isomorphic to finite extensions of $K$ and that $1$-dimensional groups definable in $K$ are finite-by-abelian-by-finite. Along the way we develop the basic theory of definable weak $K$-manifolds and definable morphisms between them.
