We find a set of generators for the automorphism group Aut G of a graph product G of finitely generated abelian groups entirely from a certain labeled graph. In addition, we find generators for the important subgroup Aut ⋆ G defined in [Automorphisms of graph products of abelian groups, to appear in Groups, Geometry and Dynamics]. We follow closely the plan of M. Laurence's paper [A generating set for the automorphism group of a graph group, J. London Math. Soc. (2)52(2) (1995) 318–334].

Let G be a connected simple bad group (i.e. of finite Morley rank, nonsolvable and with all the Borel subgroups nilpotent) of minimal Morley rank. Then the Borel subgroups of G are conjugate to each other, and if B is a Borel subgroup of G, then G = UgeGB9, NG(B) = B, and G has no involutions.
The Alperin-Goldschmidt Fusion Theorem [1, 5], when combined with pushing up [7], was a useful tool in the classification of the finite simple groups. Similar theorems are needed in the study of simple groups of finite Morley rank, in the even type case (that is, when the Sylow 2-subgroups are of bounded exponent, as in algebraic groups over fields of characteristic 2). In that context a body of results relating to fusion of 2-elements and the structure of 2-local subgroups is needed: pushing up, and the classification of groups with strongly or weakly embedded subgroups, or have strongly closed abelian subgroups (c.f, [2]). Two theorems of Alperin-Goldschmidt type are proved here. Both are needed in applications.The following is an exact analog of the Alperin-Goldschmidt Fusion Theorem for groups of finite Morley rank, in the case of 2-elements:Theorem 1.1. Let G be a group of finite Morley rank, and P a Sylow 2-subgroup of G. If A, B ⊆ P are conjugate in G, then there are subgroups Hi ≤ Pand elementsxi ∈ N(Hi) for 1 ≤ i ≤ n, and an elementy ∈ N(P), such that for all i:1. Hi is a tame intersection of two Sylow 2-subgroups;2. CP(Hi) ≤ Hi;3. N(Hi)/Hiis 2-isolatedand(a) (b) .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
