Groups of finite Morley rank with a generically multiply transitive action on an abelian group

Abstract

We investigate the configuration where a group of finite Morley rank acts definably and generically mm-transitively on an elementary abelian pp-group of Morley rank nn, where pp is an odd prime, and mnm\geqslant n. We conclude that m=nm=n, and the action is equivalent to the natural action of GLn(F)\operatorname{GL}_n(F) on FnF^n for some algebraically closed field FF. This strengthens our earlier result in arXiv:1802.05222, and partially answers two problems posed in [9].
