| dc.description.abstract | There is a longstanding conjecture, due to Gregory Cherlin and Boris Zilber, that all simple groups of finite Morley rank are simple algebraic groups. One of the major theorems in the area is Borovik's trichotomy theorem. The 'trichotomy' here is a case division of the generic minimal counterexamples within odd type, that is, groups with a large and divisible Sylow° 2-subgroup. The so-called 'uniqueness case' in the trichotomy theorem is the existence of a proper 2-generated core. It is our aim to drive the presence of a proper 2-generated core to a contradiction, and hence bind the complexity of the Sylow° 2-subgroup of a minimal counterexample to the Cherlin-Zilber conjecture. This paper shows that the group in question is a minimal connected simple group and has a strongly embedded subgroup, a far stronger uniqueness case. As a corollary, a tame counterexample to the Cherlin-Zilber conjecture has Prüfer rank at most two. © 2008 London Mathematical Society. | en_US |
