Assume $F$ is a finite field of order $p^f$ and $q$ is an odd prime for which $p^f-1=sq^m$, where $m \ge 1$ and $(s,q)=1$. In this article, we obtain the order of symmetric and unitary subgroup of the semisimple group algebra $FC_q.$…

It is known that simple algebraic groups of type $F_4$ defined over a field $k$ are precisely the full automorphism groups of Albert algebras over $k$. We explore $R$-triviality for the group $\text{\bf Aut}(A)$ when $A$ is an Albert…
