Existentially closed CSA-groups

We study existentially closed CSA-groups. We prove that existentially closed CSA-groups without involutions are simple and divisible, and that their maximal abelian subgroups are conjugate. We also prove that every countable CSA-group without involutions embeds into a finitely generated one having, up to conjugacy, the same maximal abelian subgroups, except maybe the infinite cyclic ones. We deduce from this that there exist 2^₀ countable existentially closed CSA-groups without involutions and that their first-order theories have 2^₀ types over .
