Fixed-point implication for the Algebraicity Conjecture

Let GG be an infinite simple group of finite Morley rank, and let α\alpha be a generic automorphism of GG. Let the group of fixed points of α\alpha be {gG:α(g)=g}\{g\in G:\alpha(g)=g\}.

Fixed-point implication conjecture. If the group of fixed points of α\alpha is pseudofinite, then GG is isomorphic to a Chevalley group over an algebraically closed field.

This conjecture is intended to establish the converse direction to the implication from the Algebraicity Conjecture to pseudofiniteness of generic fixed points. The source gives no resolution, so it remains open.
