Classifying the models of the theory of the universal cover of a commutative finite Morley rank group
Abstract: As part of his programme to tackle the model theory of complex exponentation, Zilber (2002) obtained a categoricity result for the structure of the exponential map in the "Lie algebra" language $<\mathbb C;+> --> <\mathbb C^*;+,*>$, where the domain has only linear structure.
I will present an abstract version of this result, where $\mathbb C^*$ is
replaced by an almost arbitrary commutative finite Morley rank
group, for example by a semiabelian variety in arbitrary
characteristic.
This is work-in-preparation with Bradd Hart and Anand Pillay.
