Groups with Locally Modular Homogeneous Pregeometries are Commutative

Abstract

It is well known that strongly minimal groups are commutative. Whether this is true for various generalisations of strong minimality has been asked in several different settings (see Hyttinen [2002], Maesono [2007], Pillay and Tanović [2011]). In this note we show that the answer is positive for groups with locally modular homogeneous pregeometries.
