contents We look at simple groups associated primarily with the general theory of Moufang buildings, and to analyze their relation to stability theory in the model theoretic sense. As it becomes quite technical in the details, a lengthy introduction surveys the developments at a less detailed level. The text, beginning from the second section, first deals with some model theoretic algebra of fields, followed by an extended study of three associated families of simple groups coming from the theory of Tits buildings, Moufang polygons, and Timmesfeld's theory of exotic analogs of SL_2. The field theoretic part is fundamental (§2). The rest of the paper relates this to group theoretic constructions, with two sections surveying the consequences for the original Tits and Timmesfeld theory before concentrating on the more exotic groups associated with Moufang polygons. A good deal of the group theoretical material is expository, aimed to make the relevant structural information meaningful to those coming from the direction of model theory.
