Inner ideals and structurable algebras: Moufang sets, triangles and hexagons

Abstract

We construct Moufang sets, Moufang triangles and Moufang hexagons using inner ideals of Lie algebras obtained from structurable algebras via the Tits--Kantor--Koecher construction. The three different types of structurable algebras we use are, respectively: (1) structurable division algebras, (2) algebras DDD \oplus D for some alternative division algebra DD, equipped with the exchange involution, (3) matrix structurable algebras M(J,1)M(J,1) for some cubic Jordan division algebra JJ. In each case, we also determine the root groups directly in terms of the structurable algebra.
