Small groups of finite Morley rank with a supertight automorphism

Abstract: We consider an infinite simple group

G

of finite Morley rank and of Pr"{u}fer

2

-rank

1

which admits a supertight automorphism

a l p h a

such that the fixed-point subgroup

C_{G} (a l p h a^{n})

is pseudofinite for all integers

n > 0

. We prove that

G c o n g {m P G L}_{2} (K)

for some algebraically closed field

K

of characteristic

e q 2

. In this version, we generalise the main theorem by dropping the assumption that

- 1

is a square in the multiplicative group

F_{1}^{i} m e s

of the pseudofinite field

F_{1}

.
