چکیده
We introduce coordinates for the nite Moufang hexagons and show with a few applications that this approach makes these objects less mysterious.

A Characterization of the Finite Moufang Hexagons by Generalized Homologies
A generalized homology of a generalized hexagon 5^ is an auto-morphism of S? fixing all points on two mutually opposite lines or fixing all lines through two mutually opposite points. We show that if 5? is finite and if it admits "many" generalized homologies, then 5? is Moufang and hence classical. 1. Introduction and notation, A (finite thick) generalized hexagon of order (s, t) is a point-li...
متن کاملThe Norm of a Ree Group
We give an explicit construction of the Ree groups of type G2 as groups acting on mixed Moufang hexagons together with detailed proofs of the basic properties of these groups contained in the two fundamental papers of Tits on this subject, [7] and [8]. We also give a short proof that the norm of a Ree group is anisotropic.
متن کاملFinite 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 کاملGenerators for Finite Simple Moufang Loops
Moufang loops are one of the best-known generalizations of groups. There is only one countable family of nonassociative finite simple Moufang loops, arising from the split octonion algebras. We prove that every member of this family is generated by three elements, using the classical results on generators of unimodular groups.
متن کاملSpecial abelian Moufang sets of finite Morley rank
Moufang sets are split doubly transitive permutation groups, or equivalently, groups with a split BN-pair of rank one. In this paper, we study so-called special Moufang sets with abelian root groups, under the model-theoretic restriction that the groups have finite Morley rank. These groups have a natural base field, and we classify them under the additional assumption that the base field is in...
