In this paper we study elimination of imaginaries in some classes of pure ordered abelian groups. For the class of ordered abelian groups with bounded regular rank (equivalently with finite spines) we obtain weak elimination of imaginaries once we add sorts for the quotient groups $Gamma/ Delta$ for each definable convex subgroup $Delta$, and sorts for the quotient groups $Gamma/ Delta+ lGamma$ where $Delta$ is a definable convex subgroup and $l in mathbb{N}_{geq 2}$. We refer to these sorts as the emph{quotient sorts}. For the dp-minimal case we obtain a complete elimination of imaginaries, if we also add constants to distinguish the cosets of $Delta+nGamma$ in $Gamma$, where $Delta$ is a definable convex subgroup and $n in mathbb{N}_{geq 2}$.

In this paper we study elimination of imaginaries in some classes of henselian valued fields of equicharacteristic zero and residue field algebraically closed. The results are sensitive to the complexity of the value group. We focus first in the case where the ordered abelian group has finite spines, and then prove a better result for the dp-minimal case. An ordered abelian with finite spines weakly eliminates imaginaries once we add sorts for the quotient groups $Gamma/ Delta$ for each definable convex subgroup $Delta$, and sorts for the quotient groups $Gamma/ Delta+ lGamma$ where $Delta$ is a definable convex subgroup and $l in mathbb{N}_{geq 2}$. We refer to these sorts as the quotient sorts. We prove the following two theorems: Theorem: Let $K$ be a valued field of equicharacteristic zero, residue field algebraically closed and value group with finite spines. Then $K$ admits weak elimination of imaginaries once we add codes for all the definable $mathcal{O}$-submodules of $K^{n}$ for each $n in mathbb{N}$, and the quotient sorts for the value group. Theorem: Let $K$ be a henselian valued field of equicharacteristic zero, residue field algebraically closed and dp-minimal value group. Then $K$ eliminates imaginaries once we add codes for all the definable $mathcal{O}$-submodules of $K^{n}$ for each $n in mathbb{N}$, the quotient sorts for the value group and constants to distinguish representatives of the cosets of $Delta+lGamma$ in $Gamma$, where $Delta$ is a convex definable subgroup and $l in mathbb{N}_{geq 2}$.
We study finite imaginaries in certain valued fields, and prove a conjecture of Cluckers and Denef.
We deal with some pcf investigations mostly motivated by abelian group theory problems and deal their applications to test problems (we expect reasonably wide applications). We prove almost always the existence of aleph_omega-free abelian groups with trivial dual, i.e. no non-trivial homomorphisms to the integers. This relies on investigation of pcf; more specifically, for this we prove that almost always there are F subseteq lambda^kappa which are quite free and has black boxes. The almost always means that there are strong restrictions on cardinal arithmetic if the universe fails this, the restrictions are everywhere. Also we replace Abelian groups by R-modules, so in some sense our advantage over earlier results becomes clearer.
Regular groups and fields are common generalizations of minimal and quasi-minimal groups and fields, so the conjectures that minimal or quasi-minimal fields are algebraically closed have their common generalization to the conjecture that each regular field is algebraically closed. Standard arguments show that a generically stable regular field is algebraically closed. Let $K$ be a regular field which is not generically stable and let $p$ be its global generic type. We observe that if $K$ has a finite extension $L$ of degree $n$, then $p^{(n)}$ has unbounded orbit under the action of the multiplicative group of $L$. Known to be true in the minimal context, it remains wide open whether regular, or even quasi-minimal, groups are abelian. We show that if it is not the case, then there is a counter-example with a unique non-trivial conjugacy class, and we notice that a classical group with one non-trivial conjugacy class is not quasi-minimal, because the centralizers of all elements are uncountable. Then we construct a group of cardinality $omega_1$ with only one non-trivial conjugacy class and such that the centralizers of all non-trivial elements are countable.
The present survey aims at being a list of Conjectures and Problems in an area of model-theoretic algebra wide open for research, not a list of known results. To keep the text compact, it focuses on structures of finite Morley rank, although the same questions can be asked about other classes of objects, for example, groups definable in $omega$-stable and $o$-minimal theories. In many cases, answers are not known even in the classical category of algebraic groups over algebraically closed fields.
