Restricted to algebraic groups, Cherlin's Conjecture reduces to the following: If the group \(G(k)\) of \(k\)-rational points of an algebraic group \(G\) is a simple group of finite Morley rank, does this imply that \(k\) is algebraically closed? This conjecture has been the starting point for a considerable amount of research. In this survey paper, the author describes two approaches towards Cherlin's Conjecture, first without any stability assumption via the theory of algebraic groups, and second via the theory of Tits buildings in the context of finite Morley rank. While the conjecture is still open, these results cover classes of classical and algebraic groups and the (twisted) Chevalley groups. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0919.00039].
