Abstract

We study the action of G = SL(2,R), viewed as a group definable in thestructureM= (R,+,×), on its type spaceSG(M). We identify a minimal closedG-flowI, and an idempotentr∈I(with respect to the Ellis semigroup structure∗onSG(M)). We also show that the “ideal group” (r∗I,∗) is nontrivial (in fact it will be the group with 2 elements), yielding a negative answer to a question of
