Rank 3 Bingo
We classify irreducible actions of connected groups of finite Morley rank on
abelian groups of Morley rank 3
Binding groups, permutation groups and modules of finite Morley rank
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
Signalizers and balance in groups of finite Morley rank
We show that a minimal counter example to the Cherlin-Zilber Algebraicity
Conjecture for simple groups of finite Morley rank has Prufer 2-rank at most
two. This article covers the signalizer functor theory and identifies the
groups of Lie rank at least three; leaving the uniqueness case analysis to
previous articles. This result signifies the end of the general methods used to
handle large groups; hereafter each individual group PSL, PSL, PSp,
and G will require its own identification theorem
Model Theory and Groups
The aim of the workshop was to discuss the connections between model theory and group theory. Main topics have been the interaction between geometric group theory and model theory, the study of the asymptotic behaviour of geometric properties on groups, and the model theoretic investigations of groups of finite Morley rank around the Cherlin-Zilber Conjecture
