Simple Locally Finite Groups of Finite Morley Rank and Odd Type

  • Chapter
Finite and Locally Finite Groups

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 471))

Abstract

The paper is devoted to a discussion of possible approaches to the classification of simple infinite groups of finite Morley rank. As an application of methods borrowed from finite group theory we classify locally finite simple groups of finite Morley rank with Černikov Sylow 2-subgroups (without using the classification of finite simple groups).
