Finite Special Moufang Sets of Odd Characteristic
In this paper we classify finite special Moufang sets M(U, τ ) of odd characteristic. The characteristic 2 case was handled in another paper by De Medts and the author. We prove, using elementary means that U is elementary abelian. Then we show that M(U, τ ) is the unique Moufang set whose little projective group is PSL2(|U |). The emphasis of this paper is on obtaining elementary proofs. Secti...
متن کاملMoufang sets related to polarities in exceptional Moufang quadrangles of type F 4
Departing from a Moufang set related to a polarity in an exceptional Moufang quadrangle of type F4, we construct a rank three geometry. The main property of this new geometry is that its automorphism group is identical to the one of the underlying Moufang set, providing a tool to study this Moufang set in a geometrical way. As a corollary we obtain that every automorphism of an exceptional Mouf...
متن کاملSpecial Moufang Sets, Their Root Groups and Their Μ-maps
We prove Timmesfeld’s conjecture that special abstract rank one groups are quasisimple. We show that in a special Moufang set the root groups are characterized on the one hand by being regular and normal in the point stabilizer, and on the other hand a normal transitive nilpotent subgroup of the point stabilizer is a root group. We prove that if a root group of a special Moufang set contains an...
متن کاملToward the Abelian Root Groups Conjecture for Special Moufang Sets
We prove that if a root group of a special Moufang set contains an element of order p ≡ 1 (mod 4) then it is abelian.
متن کاملProper Moufang Sets with Abelian Root Groups Are Special
Moufang sets are the Moufang buildings of rank one. They were introduced by J. Tits [T1] as a tool for studying algebraic groups of relative rank one. They are essentially equivalent to split BN -pairs of rank one, and as such they have been studied extensively. In some sense they are the basic ‘building blocks’ of all split BN -pairs. In the finite case, it had been a major project to classify...
