Fields of finite Morley rank (Q2747712)

In this note the author generalizes an old remark of Lascar and Pillay saying that in a strongly minimal set with infinite (model-theoretic) algebraic closure of the empty set, every algebraically closed substructure is already an elementary one. Wagner proves that in a field \(K\) with finite Morley rank, for every parameter set \(A\subseteq K^{\text{eq}}\) the prime model over \(A\) is equal to the (model-theoretic) algebraic closure of \(A\). A similar result is obtained for minimal groups of finite Morley rank with infnite \(\text{acl}(\emptyset)\).
