    Abstract

    We prove for many groups considered in classical mathematics (Chevalley
    groups over infinite fields, connected perfect linear algebraic groups,
    infinite permutation and infinite dimensional general linear groups), a model
    theoretical phenomenon called absolutely connectedness. Namely, G is absolutely
    connected if for an arbitrary first order structure on G, working in a
    saturated extension, G does not have any proper definable, type definable or
    invariant under structure automorphisms subgroups of bounded index i.e.
    G=G^0=G^00=G^{\infty}.
