      Groups of finite Morley rank \(G\) are abstract groups, equipped with a notion of dimension that assigns to every definable set \(X \subseteq G\) a natural number, called \textit{Morley rank} and denoted by \(\mathrm{rk}(X)\), satisfying well-known axioms. The main result proved in this paper is Theorem 1: Let \(G\) and \(V\) be groups of finite Morley rank, \(V\) a connected abelian group without involutions and \(\mathrm{rk}(V)=n\). Assume that \(G\) acts on \(V\) definably, and the action is generically sharply \(m\)-transitive for \(m \geq n\). Then \(m=n\), and there is an algebraically closed field \(\mathbb{F}\) such that \(V \simeq \mathbb{F}^{n}\) and \(G \simeq \mathrm{GL}(V)\), and the action is the natural action.
