Simple Groups of Finite Morley Rank

This book provides a detailed presentation of the classification of the simple groups of finite Morley rank which contain a nontrivial unipotent 2-subgroup (linear algebraic groups over algebraically closed fields of characteristic two). Much of the approach outlined in the book is modeled closely on the methods of finite group theory. Chapters are arranged in sections on methods, mixed-type groups, and even-type groups. The final chapter offers a detailed summary of applications of the main theorem presented. The audience for the book includes finite group theorists, model theorists, and algebraic geometers interested in group theoretic problems.
