Description:
Groups of Finite Morley rank arise in model theory as a
structurally significant class of groups which contains all
finite groups and all algebraic groups over algebraically
closed fields. It has been conjectured,about 20 years ago,
that all infinite simple groups in this class are algebraic. The
conjecture is still open;a concerted attack on it which is
currently under way is based on ideas and technique from
the classification of finite simple groups.
The aim of the Conference is to introduce group and model theorists (and especially young researchers) to the surprising richness of results and open problems arising in the theory of groups of finite Morley rank and in the adjacent areas of model theoretic algebra: theories of stable groups (of which groups of finite Morley rank constitute a special case), pseudofinite groups, groups definable in o-minimal structures.
