Mini-Workshop: Rank One Groups and Exceptional Algebraic Groups
Workshop
1946bPeriod
10 Nov - 16 Nov 2019Abstract
Rank one groups are a class of
doubly transitive groups that are natural
generalizations of the groups $ \operatorname{SL}_2(k) $.
The most interesting
examples arise from exceptional algebraic
groups of relative
rank one.
This class of groups is, in turn,
intimately related to structurable
algebras. The goal of the mini-workshop
was to bring together experts on these topics in order to make
progress towards a better understanding
of the structure of rank one groups.
