    We classify irreducible actions of connected groups of finite Morley rank on abelian groups of Morley rank 3

    Simple groups of Morley rank 5 are bad

    Full text link
    By exploiting the geometry of involutions in NN_\circ^\circ-groups of finite Morley rank, we show that any simple group of Morley rank 55 is a bad group all of whose proper definable connected subgroups are nilpotent of rank at most 22. The main result is then used to catalog the nonsoluble connected groups of Morley rank 55

    Chapitre invité dans un ouvrage à paraître. N'a pas encore été relu par nos pairs.The present survey aims at being a list of Conjectures and Problems in an area of model-theoretic algebra wide open for research, not a list of known results. To keep the text compact, it focuses on structures of finite Morley rank, although the same questions can be asked about other classes of objects, for example, groups definable in ω-stable and o-minimal theories. In many cases, answers are not known even in the classical category of algebraic groups over algebraically closed fields

    Involutive automorphisms of NN_\circ^\circ groups of finite Morley rank

    Full text link
    We classify a large class of small groups of finite Morley rank: NN_\circ^\circ-groups which are the infinite analogues of Thompson's NN-groups. More precisely, we constrain the 22-structure of groups of finite Morley rank containing a definable, normal, non-soluble, NN_\circ^\circ-subgroup
