Abstract

We discuss the Bohr compactification of a pseudofinite group, motivated by a question of Boris Zilber. We point out that (i) the Bohr compactification of an ultraproduct of finite simple groups is trivial, and (ii) the “definable” Bohr compactification of any pseudofinite group $G$, relative to an ambient nonstandard model of set theory in which $G$ is definable, is commutative-by-profinite.
