Linear groups of finite Morley rank

Logic 2008-11-15 v2 Group Theory

Abstract

We show that a non-algebraic simple group of finite Morley rank with a definable representation over a field has no involutions, and otherwise resembles a bad group. In particular, the modern form of the Cherlin-Zilber alebaricity conjecture hold for such groups.
