Abstract

A sharply 2-transitive permutation group of finite Morley rank and characteristic 2 splits; a split sharply 2-transitive permutation group of finite Morley rank and characteristic different from 2 is the group of affine transformations of an algebraically closed field. In particular, a sharply 2-transitive permutation group of finite Morley rank of characteristic 3 is the group of affine transformations of an algebraically closed field of characteristic 3.Without any assumption on Morley rank, a sharply 2-transitive permutation group of characteristic 0 splits if its point stabilizers are virtually abelian.
