Algebraic Groups of Type D4, Triality, and Composition Algebras

چکیده
Conjugacy classes of outer automorphisms of order 3 of simple algebraic groups of classical type D4 are classified over arbitrary fields. There are two main types of conjugacy classes. For one type the fixed algebraic groups are simple of type G2; for the other type they are simple of type A2 when the characteristic is different from 3 and are not smooth when the characteristic is 3. A large part of the paper is dedicated to the exceptional case of characteristic 3. A key ingredient of the classification of conjugacy classes of trialitarian automorphisms is the fact that the fixed groups are automorphism groups of certain composition algebras. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 20G15, 11E57, 17A75, 14L10.

Triality and Algebraic Groups of Type
We determine which simple algebraic groups of type D4 over arbitrary fields of characteristic different from 2 admit outer automorphisms of order 3, and classify these automorphisms up to conjugation. The criterion is formulated in terms of a representation of the group by automorphisms of a trialitarian algebra: outer automorphisms of order 3 exist if and only if the algebra is the endomorphis...

متن کاملFINE GRADINGS ON THE EXCEPTIONAL LIE ALGEBRA d4
We describe all the fine group gradings, up to equivalence, on the Lie algebra d4. This problem is equivalent to finding the maximal abelian diagonalizable subgroups of the automorphism group of d4. We prove that there are fourteen by using two different viewpoints. The first approach is computational: we get a full description of the gradings by using a particular implementation of the automor...
متن کاملHopf Algebras with Triality
In this paper we revisit and extend the constructions of Glauberman and Doro on groups with triality and Moufang loops to Hopf algebras. We prove that the universal enveloping algebra of any Lie algebra with triality is a Hopf algebra with triality. This allows us to give a new construction of the universal enveloping algebras of Malcev algebras. Our work relies on the approach of Grishkov and ...
متن کاملOn categories of merotopic, nearness, and filter algebras
We study algebraic properties of categories of Merotopic, Nearness, and Filter Algebras. We show that the category of filter torsion free abelian groups is an epireflective subcategory of the category of filter abelian groups. The forgetful functor from the category of filter rings to filter monoids is essentially algebraic and the forgetful functor from the category of filter groups to the cat...
