The Genericity Conjecture for connected groups of finite Morley rank

Let GG be a connected group of finite Morley rank. A subset of GG is generic if it has full Morley rank in GG.

Genericity Conjecture. The union of the connected definable nilpotent subgroups of GG contains a definable generic subset of GG.

This is an outstanding open question concerning groups of finite Morley rank. In particular, it asks whether generic elements of a connected group are contained in connected definable nilpotent subgroups.
