From this, we deduce a precise structural description of Borel subgroups of this family of simple groups. Along the way we prove a Tetrachotomy theorem that classifies minimal connected simple groups. Some of the techniques that we develop help us obtain a simpler proof of a theorem of Burdges, Cherlin and Jaligot.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-09-16T12:41:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03C60", "20G99" ], "keywords": [ "finite morley rank", "classifies minimal connected simple groups", "non-trivial weyl group", "jordan decomposition theorem", "precise structural description" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1009.3160A" } } }
