%0 Journal Article %T Linear groups of finite Morley rank %A Alexandre Borovik %A Jeffrey Burdges %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %X We show that a non-algebraic simple group of finite Morley rank with a definable representation over a field has no involutions, and otherwise resembles a bad group. In particular, the modern form of the Cherlin-Zilber alebaricity conjecture hold for such groups. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0801.3958v2
