    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

    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 PSL2_2, PSL3_3, PSp4_4, and G2_2 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
