We consider groups of finite Morley rank with solvable local subgroups of even and mixed types. We also consider miscellaneous aspects of small groups of finite Morley rank of odd type.

The paper contains versions of the Strong Embedding Theorem and the Uniqueness Subgroup Theorem for groups of finite Morley rank and odd type which are needed for the study of permutations actions and modules in the finite Morley rank…

We prove a general dichotomy theorem for groups of finite Morley rank with solvable local subgroups and of Pr\"ufer p-rank at least 2, leading either to some p-strong embedding, or to the Pr\"ufer p-rank being exactly 2.

We prove that in a connected group of finite Morley rank the centralizers of decent tori are connected. We then apply this result to the analysis of minimal connected simple groups of finite Morley rank. Our applications include general…

This paper contains a stronger version of a final identification theorem for the `generic' groups of finite Morley rank.

Let FL_s(K) be the finitary linear group of degree s over an associative ring K with unity. We prove that the torsion subgroups of FL_s(K) are locally finite for certain classes of rings K. A description of some f.g. solvable subgroups of…

Here we analyze a proper 2-generated core in a minimal counter example to the Cherlin-Zilber Algebraicity Conjecture for simple groups of finite Morley rank. We ultimately show that such a group is strongly embedded and the ambiant group is…

This article proves a version of the Feit-Thompson theorem for simple groups of finite Morley rank: a connected groups of finite Morley rank with a finite Sylow 2-subgroup has a trivial Sylow 2-subgroups.

We show that locally solvable subgroups of PLo(I) are countable. Then for each countable ordered set, we construct a locally solvable subgroup of Thompson's Group F. We develop machinery for understanding embeddings from solvable subgroups…

We classify a large class of small groups of finite Morley rank: $N_\circ^\circ$-groups which are the infinite analogues of Thompson's $N$-groups. More precisely, we constrain the $2$-structure of groups of finite Morley rank containing a…

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,…

One of the central tools in the classification of simple algebraic groups is the distinction between semisimple subgroups and unipotent subgroups. It is not a priori clear how to make this distinction for torsion-free subgroups of a group…

We do two things. 1. As a corollary to a stronger linearisation result (Theorem A), we prove the finite Morley rank version of the Lie-Kolchin-Malcev theorem on Lie algebras (Corollary A2). 2. We classify Lie ring actions on modules of…

This paper develops some general results about actions of finite groups on (infinite) abelian groups in the finite Morley rank category. They are linked to a range of problems on groups of finite Morley rank discussed in [16]. Crucially,…

We deal with two forms of the "uniqueness cases" in the classification of large simple $K^*$-groups of finite Morley rank of odd type, where large means the $m_2(G)$ at least three. This substantially extends results known for even larger…

We study a model theoretic context (finite thorn rank, NIP, with finitely satisfiable generics) which is a common generalization of groups of finite Morley rank and definably compact groups in o-minimal structures. We show that assuming…

We prove several results about groups of finite Morley rank without unipotent p-torsion: p-torsion always occurs inside tori, Sylow p-subgroups are conjugate, and p is not the minimal prime divisor of our approximation to the ``Weyl…

We define a class $\mathcal{U}$ of solvable groups of finite abelian section rank which includes all such groups that are virtually torsion-free as well as those that are finitely generated. Assume that $G$ is a group in $\mathcal{U}$ and…

We prove that if the group of fixed points of a generic automorphism of a simple group of finite Morley rank is pseudofinite, then this group is an extension of a (twisted) Chevalley group over a pseudofinite field. On the way to obtain…

We develop the theory of p-Lie algebras of finite Morley rank. In particular, we obtain a quite complete characterization in the soluble case
