The structures we consider are the 'uncollapsed' structures of infinite Morley rank obtained by the ab initio construction and the (unstable) omega-categorical pseudoplanes. The simplicity of the automorphism groups of these follows from results which generalize work of Lascar and of Tent and Ziegler.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-12-12T10:08:50.000Z", "comment": "32 pages", "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v2", "updated": "2015-09-02T15:26:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03C15", "20B07", "20B27" ], "keywords": [ "automorphism groups", "hrushovski constructions", "simplicity", "ab initio construction", "hrushovski amalgamation method" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 35, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1312.3430E" } } }
