We study definably primitive pseudo-finite permutation groups of finite $SU$-rank. We show that if $(G,X)$ is such a permutation group, then the rank of $G$ can be bounded in terms of the rank of $X$, providing an analogue of a theorem of…

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…

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,…

We give a review of one of the lines in development of the theory of groups of finite Morley rank. These groups naturally appear in model theory as model-theoretic analogues of Galois groups, therefore their actions and their role as…

A binding group theorem is proved in the context of quantifier-free internality to the fixed field in difference-closed fields of characteristic zero. This is articulated as a statement about the birational geometry of isotrivial algebraic…

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 show that a generically sharply $t$-transitive permutation group of finite Morley rank on a set of rank $r$ satisfies $t\le r+2$ provided the pointwise stabilizer of a generic $(t-1)$-tuple is an $L$-group, which holds, for example, when…

Working in a theory with an integer-valued dimension on interpretable sets, we classify pseudofinite definably primitive permutation groups acting on one-dimensional sets which satisfy a version of chain condition on centralizers and on…

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 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 give an algebraic description of the structure of the analytic universal cover of a complex abelian variety which suffices to determine the structure up to isomorphism. More generally, we classify the models of theories of "universal…

Let $p$ be a prime number. We consider diagonal $p$-permutation functors over a (commutative, unital) ring $\mathsf{R}$ in which all prime numbers different from $p$ are invertible. We first determine the finite groups $G$ for which the…

Let $G$ be an infinite simple group of finite Morley rank and of Pr\"{u}fer $2$-rank $1$ which admits a supertight automorphism $\alpha$ such that the fixed-point subgroup $C_G(\alpha^n)$ is pseudofinite for all integers $n > 0$. We prove…

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…

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 every finite dimensional representation of a finite group over a field of characteristic p admits a finite resolution by p-permutation modules. The proof involves a reformulation in terms of derived categories.

Classification and invariants, with respect to basis changes, of finite dimensional algebras are considered. An invariant open, dense (in the Zariscki topology) subset of the space of structural constants is defined. The algebras with…

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

We prove that if $G$ is a group of finite Morley rank which acts definably and generically sharply $n$-transitively on a connected abelian group $V$ of Morley rank $n$ with no involutions, then there is an algebraically closed field $F$ of…

It is known that a group G definable in the field of p-adic numbers is definably locally isomorphic to the group of Q_p-points of a connected algebraic group H defined over Q_p. We show that if H is commutative then G is…
