Principal conjecture on fixed points of generic automorphisms

From papers

Let GG be an infinite simple group of finite Morley rank, and let α\alpha be a generic automorphism of GG. The fixed-point subgroup of α\alpha is CG(α)C_G(\alpha). Principal conjecture. The fixed-point subgroup CG(α)C_G(\alpha) is pseudofinite. This conjecture concerns the proposed pseudofiniteness of fixed-point subgroups arising from generic automorphisms in infinite simple groups of finite Morley rank. The supplied text attributes its formulation to work motivated by Hrushovski's results, but does not state that it has been resolved.
