Abstract

Let M be a saturated model of a superstable theory and let G = Aut(M). We study subgroups H of G which contain G(A), A the algebraic closure of a finite set, generalizing results of Lascar [L] as well as giving an alternative characterization of the simple superstable theories of [P]. We also make some observations about good, locally modular regular types p in the context of p-simple types.
