چکیده
In a connected group of finite Morley rank, if the Sylow 2-subgroups are finite then they are trivial. The proof involves a combination of modeltheoretic ideas with a device originating in black box group theory. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000). 03C60, 20G99.

A new trichotomy theorem for groups of finite Morley rank
The Algebraicity Conjecture for simple groups of finite Morley rank, also known as the Cherlin-Zilber conjecture, states that simple groups of finite Morley rank are simple algebraic groups over algebraically closed fields. In the last 15 years, the main line of attack on this problem has been the so-called Borovik program of transferring methods from finite group theory. This program has led t...
متن کاملDefinably Linear Groups of Finite Morley Rank
Introduction. Zilber’s original trichotomy conjecture proposed an explicit classification of all one-dimensional objects arising in model theory. At one point, classifying the simple groups of finite Morley rank was viewed as a subproblem whose affirmative answer would justify this conjecture. Zilber’s conjecture was eventually refuted by Hrushovski [9], and the classification of simple groups ...
متن کاملMinimal Connected Simple Groups of Finite Morley Rank with Strongly Embedded Subgroups
The Algebraicity Conjecture states that a simple group of finite Morley rank should be isomorphic with an algebraic group. A program initiated by Borovik aims at controlling the 2-local structure in a hypothetical minimal counterexample to the Algebraicity Conjecture. There is now a large body of work on this program. A fundamental division arises at the outset, according to the structure of a ...
متن کاملWeyl groups of small groups of finite Morley rank
We examine Weyl groups of minimal connected simple groups of finite Morley rank of degenerate type. We show that they are cyclic, and lift isomorphically to subgroups of the ambient group.
متن کاملSignalizers and Balance in Groups of Finite Morley Rank
There is a longstanding conjecture, due to Gregory Cherlin and Boris Zilber, that all simple groups of finite Morley rank are simple algebraic groups. The most successful approach to this conjecture has been Borovik’s program analyzing a minimal counterexample, or simple K-group. We show that a simple K-group of finite Morley rank and odd type is either aalgebraic of else has Prufer rank at mos...
