Joint work with Katrin Tent. A Frobenius group is a group G together with a proper nontrivial malnormal subgroup H. A classical result due to Frobenius states that finite Frobenius groups split, i.e. they can be written as a semidirect product of a normal subgroup and the subgroup H. It is an open question if this holds true for groups of finite Morley rank, and the existence of a non-split Frobenius group of finite Morley rank would contradict the Algebraicity Conjecture. We use mock hyperbolic reflection spaces, a generalization of real hyperbolic spaces, to study Frobenius groups of finite Morley rank. We show that the involutions in a connected Frobenius group of finite Morley rank and odd type form a mock hyperbolic reflection space. These spaces satisfy certain rank inequalities and we conclude that connected Frobenius groups of odd type and Morley rank at most 6 split. Moreover, by using a construction from the theory of K-loops we show that if G is a connected Frobenius group of degenerate type with abelian complement, then G can be expanded to a group whose involutiuons almost form a mock hyperbolic reflection space. The rank inequalities allow us to show structural results for such groups. As a special case we get Frecon's theorem: There is no bad group of Morley rank 3.
