Groups of finite Morley rank with a generically multiply transitive action on an abelian group

Abstract

We investigate the configuration where a group of finite Morley rank acts definably and generically $m$-transitively on an elementary abelian $p$-group of Morley rank $n$, where $p$ is an odd prime, and $m⩾n$. We conclude that $m=n$, and the action is equivalent to the natural action of ${\mathrm{GL}}_n(F)$ on $F^n$ for some algebraically closed field $F$. This strengthens our earlier result in arXiv:1802.05222, and partially answers two problems posed in [9].
